Tips for starting school!

I've never done this kind of thing, so bare with me. These are the tips or what I call a 'Guide' for organizing yourself before school starts. In Australia, I'm starting school very soon so this is the process I am doing for myself. Sorry if this is going to be too long, this is like on top of my head, so let's get started! 

1. So what I did firstly was go through last year's writing books and rip out the pages full of information you might need for the subjects you're doing this year and keep them somewhere safe. After that, be sure that you don't need them and just throw them away. If you have any left over or empty books with a decent amount of pages, keep them just in case.

2. I know students want to be cool and show off their new stationery to their friends, but seriously, it won't be worth it. Before you go on and waste a perfectly good conditioned pencil, think again. What would you rather, a perfectly, conditioned pencil that will last at least the whole semester or a 'cool' pencil that will probably last about 2 weeks? Sort out all  your stationery from 'In No Condition' to 'Perfect Use'.

3. As everyone may have received, except for me maybe, a stationery list for each subject, you'll now know what you need or don't need, that simple. For myself, I had to look online. I was worried like Hell that I wouldn't get my stuff in time. Anyway, for the things that you don't need, cross them off and write a new list with the things that you do need.

4. Now that you have your list, get shopping! Not only you're saving your Mum's pocket money but you're also being environmentally friendly by saving those books and stationery from last year! :) Hope this helped.
