tbhstudying:

hey, guys! summer vacation just started for me, and i’m super excited about it! there are so many things that you could do during summer vacation, so i figured that making a list of some ideas that i had would be fitting for the first official day of freedom hehe :-))))

after school is out:

• get that sleep that you missed out on!!
  
• treat yourself
  
• take a nice bath, listen to your favorite songs, eat something nice… whatever it is, just relax and enjoy your day
• clean and organize things from the previous school year
  
• it’s good to throw out old handouts that you don’t need anymore. i like to file away important papers / notes that i think that i might need again in binders and folders. after that, you could neatly put it all away in a box or on a shelf or wherever you wish!
• not saying that you can’t do this, but some of my friends made a bonfire from all of their old assignments and then roasted marshmallows :’)
• here’s my post on organizing systems for school that might help you out
