beach shelter pop up image
Chloe
I'm moving into Year 9 this year, and i really want to make an impression on the first day back. I need to get to grips with EVERYTHING this summer: friends, schoolwork, future plans, boys, socialising, being creative, hair, make up, clothes... Argh! So how should i plan my summer?
Answer
I'm doing the same thing this summer! Here's my advice:
Friends/Socializing: Hang out with your friends during the summer so that you guys stay friends. If you're a little on the shyer side, try and use the summer to work on your social skills and make a couple new friends. Have sleepovers, go to the beach, go to parties, dances, etc. Be social and try and break out of your shell. Get out of your comfort zone and have fun!
Hair: Summer is the time to experiment! Try new things with your hair - cut it short, grow it out, dip-dye it, highlight it, get streaks, dye it with Kool-Aide, and experiment with different styles. Do some research online or look in magazines or just at the people around you to see which hairstyles you like. Practice them, and look up some tutorials online if you're not sure how to do them. After practicing your favourite styles and seeing what looks best on you, you'll be ready to do them in the mornings at school without taking up tons of time. Also, find products that make your hair look great. If you have straight "boring hair, try a volumizing spray. If you have frizzy hair, try a deep-conditioner. If you have "wild" curly hair, try a cream that helps curls look defined, but not wild. Find products that suit your hair type.
Makeup: Same as hair - use summer to experiment. Practice applying different things, see which colours look good on you, find out which colours make your eyes pop and which to avoid. Have a makeup day with your friends where you practice doing each other's makeup. Give your opinions on what looks good and what doesn't, that way you'll know now instead of on the first day of school.
Clothes: Go on a few shopping sprees! Look through magazines, online, or at people around you and see which styles of clothing you love. Write them down, take pictures, and then go out and find similar styles in the stores. Go through your current clothes and donate old clothes that don't fit you or that you don't like - no use weighing down your wardrobe with things you'll never wear. Figure out what items of clothing you have enough of and need more of. This is also a good time to make sure that your bra still fits. Measure yourself or get yourself fitted to make sure that "the girls" look good too. :-)
Schoolwork: If you really want to be ahead of the game, review concepts from last year a week or so before school starts. This will give your brain a head start and you'll be able to get through those first few classes a lot easier. Find ways to organize yourself for next year - get homework folders, agendas/planners to write down your assignments, get file folders, etc. If you're bad at procrastinating with your work, once you go back do your homework the day you get it, right when you get home from school to avoid late-night homework sessions and stress. Also, figure out how to study for tests and quizzes, and take online tests to see what kind of a learner you are (Visual/Verbal, Hands-On, etc.) Once you know your learning "style" you can figure out how to best prepare for tests (ie. flash cards, group study sessions, etc.)
Future Plans: This is a great time to go out and try new things. Lots of people are unsure of their future job/university plans because they're not sure what things interest them, so get out there and try new things. Like animals? Volunteer or apply to work at an animal shelter. Like sports? Get a job as a lifeguard, a referee, or a coach. Like to be creative? Take some art classes in different mediums; sketching, painting, pottery, photography, etc. Find something that interests you, and that way you'll have a better idea of what things you'd like to study in college/university and eventually persue as a career. Do some research on colleges/universities that interest you and learn about them. Find out what grades you need to get in, so you can start preparing for them now.
Being creative: Find out what interests you. Like I said above, take art classes. Also try photography, writing, blogging, or writing your own music. Learn to play an instrument and record covers of your favourite songs. Re-decorate your room using DIY stuff (look up some ideas online). Make your own jewelry, paint ceramics, sew something (a bag, clothes, etc.), knit something, or crochet something. Get a video camera (or a digital camera with a video setting) and make some movies/music videos with your friends. Once you've found something that you love, keep doing it, and have fun with it!
Boys: Guys love confident, happy girls that share their interests. Go to the beach or a party with your friends and flirt with some guys there, or use the summer to get up the nerve to talk to that guy at school that you have a crush on. :-)
Sorry that it's so long! Good luck!

What are some of your favorite classic rock songs?
Miss April
90's music doesn't count as 'classic' rock--try to pick ones from the 60's, 70's, or 80's. Also, when I say rock, I mean rock, not necessarily metal (unless the metal song(s) were mainstream enough to be played on classic rock radio stations). I know a pretty decent amount of the hits, so whoever gives the most that I know will recieve best answer I guess. Thanks ahead of time!
