Back to School

School, college or university, all of their long 6-8 weeks of holidays is finally coming to an end. Some people have tried things they would never have imagined while others just cruised by and let time pass them by. At the very beginning of each year who doesn't decide to change something about their school/college/uni lifestyle? It's almost like a New Years Resolution. Some people always want to change something for the following year and here's a few of the top most wanted lists.This year I will...

Try harder at studying. Yes some people may have not got what they wanted so they want to try extra hard this year in getting what they want while others just want to maintain their brilliant grades, maybe get even better. At the moment this is one of mine, purely because I was so close to the above grade.

Look much better. Some people could see this as looking more 'together' and stylish although some guys may think to themselves 'I shall grow a beard' or 'I will look more clean shaven'. Some of the girls may even try new make-up and hair ideas also just because they are sick of what they used to look like, wearing the same type of thing everyday. It's a good thing to try although it is harder than everyone thinks. Some people also try and look better as in losing weight, putting on weight so when they go back people can shower them with compliments but to lose or gain a significant amount of weight takes pure determination.

Prioritise my time better. This one is very similar to trying harder at studying however I feel that this would be used for all aspects of your life, ie, college, friends, job etc. If you try your hardest and don't succeed on this one then it could leave quite a scar behind. I always try to do this one but everything always ends up getting on top of me and that makes me even more stressed.

Eat healthier. Yes, it's all their at the back of our minds. Since we're all away from our parents at this time, most people like to opt for the more unhealthy option of junk food and takeaways. Unless you have a packed lunch however which shows that you are trying to be healthier in some sense. Some people may eat healthy all week then one day just eat what you want. In my college, my group used to have something called 'Take out Thursdays' were we would all chip in and get some dominoes pizza delivered to the college. One of my friends gets a McDonalds every Wednesday. Yes these lot are good as treats but if this becomes a habit your body will know what to expect a certain day which won't do you metabolism any good.

So if any of the top ideas seem like something you have come up with then I wish you all the best because like I pointed out it's not easy to change our habits and you need stamina and determination to keep it up.
