Number 1: Get an agenda
Why get an agenda? I've never had an agenda in my entire school career that I have thoroughly used. This year, my junior year, I got an agenda. It is brightly colored with cute flowers, has color-coded tabs, and inspirational quotes on random pages. There is a calendar where I can write important dates (such as birthdays, performances, and dates when movies come out,) and a page where I can write books that I want to read for that month. (It is very helpful to keep track of books that I've read, too!) I've written down every homework assignment I've received and I've never felt more organized. Having everything I need at the tip of my fingers is such a relief. So, for your sanity, I strongly recommend that you, too, get an agenda. Number 2: Watch a musical (or multiple musicals. No need to stop at one!) Now, I may be a bit biased considering I am a huge musical nerd. (Literally, I'm obsessed.) But I swear, there is something to this advice. Musicals are musicals, and therefore, they have amazing music. The songs are extremely catchy, can make you feel on top of the world or make you cry a pool of tears. "No One Mourns the Wicked" from Wicked and "One Day More" from Les Miserables are personal favorites, and they really help me focus. For instance, when I'm taking a test, I tend to sing songs in my head. I don't know why; I'm just a musical person. And I find that when I sing a song from a musical, such as "I'm Alive" from Next to Normal, I'm able to focus better on the problems. (This might just be for certain people. Some people are visual learners, some are audio learners, etc. etc.) But there is more to watching a musical than just the amazing songs. Watching musicals are like watching movies, but they're set to music. Who wouldn't love that? I find musicals relaxing and fun; most of the time, they have humor and drama, and a wonderful soundtrack that the characters sing along with. Musicals can educate you, such as Les Miserables, Assassins, or Hairspray. Some musicals are based off of books or movies, and some are the basis for movies. There are so many wonderful things about musicals, and I felt the need to encourage people to watch them. Maybe they might help you relax, maybe not. But I still say you should give it a shot! *End of PSA* Leave a Reply. |
