School Tips- The morning and the night before

Hey Peepsos! We're going to start a new series, called school tips. You may probably already know these tips, or they may help you! If you noticed the title, the first one is going to be the morning and the night before. 
Enjoy, and implement them!

1. BEEP!BEEP!BEEP!BEEP!
That's the sound of the dreaded alarm clock. Yup, getting up (for me) is one of the hardest things ever. But you have to, whether you sunny side up or a sloth. (They sleep most of the day). But hey (that rhymes!) you don't want to be late for school! Some tips to help you get up:
  •  Set like, half a dozen alarm clocks. Many phones come with alarm settings, so use it! Set one after the other, in different rooms, on the loudest volume as you possibly can. That way, you'll have to get up to snooze them all, and by that time you'll be awake!
  • If you can't set more than one, set the alarm so for away you'll have to get up to snooze it, or hide it somewhere in your room so you'll have to dig through something to get it..
  • Use a human! Your older bro or sis, or mom or dad can be the ones to push you out of bed. This is probably the best, because humans are better than alarm clocks.
  • EESS! What? It stands for eye,eye, sit, scratch. First, when you're lying down, open one eye, just one eye, and keep it open for 20 seconds. Then open the other eye, and keep both open for 20 seconds. Sit up, scratch your head (this apparently wakes your brain cells) and ta-da! You're awake! The hardest part of this(for me) is keeping my eye(s) open.

2. Get a spot 
Huh? What's that s'posed to mean? It means, find a spot to put your stuff for the next day.. Do you share a bathroom or room with a sis or bro? If you do, reserve a spot to set out your clothes for the next day, or put a box with your toothbrush/toothpaste and lotion, hairbrush, etc. And even if you don't share a room, you still need a spot to put your stuff where you get changed, shower, brush, grab your bag where people know not to touch it.

3. Plan Ahead
WHY do I need to plan ahead for the next day? Because I said so. No, just kidding. In the morning, it makes things go a LOT quicker. No more searching for clothes, or wondering why you didn't notice the toothpaste was over. Again, this goes hand in hand with finding a special spot for your stuff: Put next days stuff in those spots, and you'll be ready.
Believe me, I save about 15 minutes each morning because I'm not digging through messed up clothes drawers for clothes, or running around looking for lotion.
The same goes for your backpack. Set it up as soon as you finish your homework, and double and triple check to make sure you finished it all.


That's it for today! We hope these were some good tips, and there'll be more coming soon!
Have a good night (or day)!

Song of the week-1

Hi guys-
We are going to start a song of the week. There will be a new genre every two weeks. And don't worry, all the songs have no bad words in them (for all you little peeps out there). The genre for the next two weeks is classical music. One of the songs for this week is Canon in D major by Johann Pachelbel.
This song is amazing because it is sooo calming and great for background music while your working or doing homework.
