Okay, so now I have all my supplies ready for back-to-school time, but what now? I was thinking about this and came up with some tips and ideas that I'd like to share with you.

Tip Number One: Wake up Early
It's vital to keep a consistent sleeping schedule -- stick to it. Going to sleep and waking up at the same time everyday is very important. The earlier you go to sleep the more refreshed you will be in the morning. Remember, we are Teenagers, and we need Nine to Twelve hours of sleep every night! And if you miss an hour or two, you cannot make up for it during Math Class the next day.

Tip Number Two: Exercise Regularly to beat Stress
Exercising helps beat the stress and tension school and homework may cause. Oh -- and exercising helps you sleep, too! Just be sure to drink plenty of water before and after. For more stress-beating tips, read Kirbie393's article.

Tip Number Three: Getting your work done
There is a difference between schoolwork and homework, and let's keep it like that! Not finishing your schoolwork will result in you having to take it home, making it -- guess what? -- HOMEWORK! Imagine that. So, try to get it your work done when it should be done.

Tip Number Four: Getting Involved
A great way to get involved in school is to join an after-school club. Whatever your interests are -- computers, sports, singing, dancing, volunteering -- there is a club for you! Joining one is a great way to hang out with old friends and meet new people.

Tip Number Five: Cutting Down on Whyville Chat Time
Yes, I mean that. With the fall already here, we may not have time to go on the computer every day. Sacrificing chat time to do something else can only help your grades. Cutting down doesn't mean quitting altogether -- heck no! -- but try spending more time raising your salary (face parts prices have gone up, you know, so extra clams can't hurt!), or doing something educational on another website, or off the computer completely.

Well, that's it for now. This is elzbth02 counting the days until School Begins -- ack! Where's my summer!? I got to go!
