School Hacks

Have a blue pen.

Blue ink helps you more likely to remember things you've written down! Write with the blue pen for whenever you need the extra boost in muscle memory.

Take a peppermint out.

While studying, eat the peppermint. Peppermints help concentrate your brain. Hopefully, now you can get back to work!

Bring out your different colored pens, highlighters, and markers.

Take notes using different colors to help you remember them better.

For this hack, you'll only need what you've learned and yourself! (Bringing a family member, pet, friend, or stuffed animal is another great option!)

To yourself (or to the companion you've brought over), pretend that you have to teach the material.

Squeeze out lime juice, or buy it from a supermarket.

Take a Q-Tip and dip it into the juice.

Swipe it over the highlighted parts you want to get rid of. This will simply make it disappear.

Take out a hair dryer and your out-of-ink pen.

Put some heat on the pen. It'll be good as new!

Bring out the zipper you'd like to fix, plus a paper clip.

Take the outside end of the paper clip and feed it through the zipper hole.

Move the paper clip until you've reached the biggest opening.

Now, you have a functional zipper again!

Improving your posture will give you a small boost of confidence.

Straightening your back will also make you a bit taller, if that's something your interested in!

Writing this on a sticky note, or something you use often can be a great way to remind yourself.

Oh no! Did someone spill their belongings, or drop something on the floor? At first, your first instinct would be to help them pick up their stuff, but that isn't the case.

You should see if they're comfortable having others touching their things, or look like they're in need of help. Some people might want to do things independently.

Bring out a notebook or journal and any writing utensil.

In the notebook, write down positive things/notes about yourself. Reminding yourself of your strengths and accomplishments will bring your confidence up!
