Summer Wishes

This summer is still on unknown terms. We half way through April and have no clue if summer will still be a thing this year or if COVID-19 will cancel it. None the less, I have decided to plan some summer adventures and other fun things to do when it rolls around, it’s the only thing getting me through quarantine. 

This summer I will be going to cedar point for my birthday because the Thomas Rhett concert was postponed to September. I’m hoping to go on lots of road trips and small adventures like the cedar point one. I think going to a beach for the weekend or even a day trip to somewhere cool would be a lot of fun!

I also want to do a few photoshoots with friends in different thrifted outfits or even in just weird places. I want to try DIY drinks and snacks as well, like Smoothies and sweets. 

I want to try throwing a pool party to get some friends I made from school over because I already miss them and it’s not even technically summer vacation yet! 

Lastly, I am very excited for our annual neighborhood cookout. This is on July 25th and involves a lot of fun. We start at one families house and move from house to house for different drinks and snacks before making it to the final house for the main dish which is usually all the dad cooking for the grill off and sides the moms all made. While eating and judging the food, we have a live band, a cornhole tournament and professional fireworks to enjoy. The kids normally hop from pool to pool at each neighbor’s house or can be seen driving around in a golf cart parade all day around the neighborhood. Marshal Field Subdivision is a hoot, I can’t wait for this year’s block party!
What are some of your summer plans and dreams?

    I'm glad you're staying positive and looking for things to do over the summer. I've never been to cedar point, but that's one of my goals to accomplish before I leave Ohio. The annual cookout sounds very fun. We use to have something like that in my old neighbor were we would all grill out, have a dj, and water slides for the kids.

Good Studying Habits

Studying can be a struggle but I’m hoping some of these ideas can help you focus better and retain more information faster.  The first thing you’re going to want to do is take a learning styles test. Click here to take it.   Based off of your results you can change your studying habits to work well with how you learn. For example, I am a visual learner. I make my notes very colorful and draw diagrams and tables, I also learn more efficient if I re-write what I’m studying.  You can also take a few different approaches. If you’re in class and learn a concept for the first time that you think you understand but wish you could hear it again or even re-worded, go on YouTube and watch a crash course over it. They have a lot of videos covering almost anything you learn in class.  You can also make a Kahoot or Quizlet to study off of. I don’t use this method personally, but I have a few friends that do it and swear by it. If you’re looking for a new way to study, then I suggest t

How to Keep Yourself Busy While at Home from School

Image
We all know what pandemic the world is in right now and were soon to be stuck to our homes. Away from school, friends and sports, I’m sure you’re asking, “what do I do now?”. Since I’ve been home the past few days and spent the first online schooling day in my room, I realized how much goes on at school and how little happens in my hometown of Monroe, Michigan. Knowing that I’ll need to occupy myself until the end of the school year as at home, now, online student, I’ve come up with some things I can do make time pass until this whole craziness is over.  1.       Personally, I already have a YouTube channel, so I’ll be able to post a lot more, more often and better content. For you, however, if you dint have one already, you can start a YouTube channel or begin a quest to become TikTok famous 2.       When I was at school, I was always using the excuse “you’re too busy to workout”. Well now I have nothing but time on my hands and I can no longer use this excuse. G

Final Week Stress Help

Image
Currently I am writing this blog during dead week, the week of stress and preparation for the hell week to follow. In five days, I will be doing nothing but exams and crying over the unknown answers and lack of time to cram in my last-minute studying. Luckily, because schools have been shut down for Corona, we all have an advantage this finals week. Unfortunately, we do still have the finals though and it still can be stressful. As the last two weeks of the semester start to fly by, you realize all the work you have put off till the last minute is getting in your way of studying for your exams.  My tip for last minute freak outs at the end of the semester is to PLAN. Sitting down with a blank piece of paper, planner, or calendar and simply figuring out what day things are due and what days you can do the work can make the stress nearly disappear. Looking at a long to do list versus breaking up the to do list into days and planning what time to do the work can definitely make a dif
