It's that time of the year already! Time to go back to the classroom. It can be an exciting time for some, but for the majority it's a dreaded time.
Today I wanted to try and make light of the situation for those of you who are feeling miserable at the thought of walking through the entrance at a time you'd normally be in bed. 

I have decided to share with you a few of my tips for going back to school with a  positive mind.

1. Although school can bring you down; there are so many great things there. Some good people, food, an education etc.

2. At the start of a school year, you have a chance at making a change in your life. A new year gives you an opportunity for a fresh start. Make the changes in your life that'll make your life happier.

3. Education is a brilliant thing. It helps you to grow as a person. Make the most of it. Education can change so many things, knowledge is very powerful.

4. Everyone is in the same shoes. Your not the only one who has to say goodbye to the holidays and get back in to the routine. So do fellow students and all the staff.

5. Make something to look forward to after every school day. Perhaps your favourite television programme?

6. Embrace all the opportunities you're offered. It's hard sometimes, but you may end up benefiting. 

7. Make a stand for yourself, if you're not happy by the way you're being treated by 'friends' say something. People shouldn't make your school days miserable.

8. Find someone you can speak to if things aren't looking as good in your life. This will help you feel safe and has helped me through the past year. This person can be someone you speak to about good things to. Make sure it's someone you really trust. 

9. Tackle every piece of work as best as you can. You're not going to be the best at everything, but if you try your best that's the main thing. Mistakes are what you learn from.

10. Everyone has to go to school, so enjoy your time there as best as you can because it doesn't last forever. One day you'll have to go into the years and years of working.
