BUST THE BACK-2-SCHOOL BLUES!

Wait. Kwani what do you mean you're not excited to go back to school, sis? What about the brand-new box of pencils and pens, the reunions with old friends, and the exciting new classes? Sure, school inaweza kuwa a little stressful, but there are so many great things about it!

Kama you're struggling with the back-to-school blues, kuna some ways to make going back a little less rough. Ama if you are looking forward to the new school year, we can help you prepare for it.

Here's how unaweza beat those back-to-school blues!​​

 

Rekindle old friendships. 

Unaweza text some school friends who you haven’t talked to sana over the holiday and reunite with them. Nothing is more exciting than seeing old friends again.

 

Maliza holiday with a bang. 

Ji-nice kidogo before urudi shule and blow off some steam, bbz. Whether it's a barbecue with friends or a hangout kwa movies with friends, taking some time to have fun is a great way to prepare for the year ahead.

 

Work up an appetite. 

Buy all the perfect ingredients and plan to have your favourite breakfast before your first day of school. When the stomach is happy, the mind is happy.

 

Get some funky school supplies. 

Jibambe with one new school item kama a cute notebook, a pen or hata new pencil pouch. Itakumake more excited about going back to school.

 

Set some new goals. 

Anza the term with a new outlook. Think of the term as a new “era”, set goals for and write them down in your notebook with your favourite pens. Having goals gives you something to work toward.

 

Start a reading list. 

Tafuta fun books and novels you would like to read over the term na your pals. Each of you can buy one from the list halafu you keep switching the books mukimaliza kusoma. Kama hauna books, talk to the librarian at school and see if any new books have been stocked that munaweza soma pamoja.

 

Stay on top of your work.

Kama ulipewa homework and assignments for the holiday period, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed. Lakini get started on the work ndio is-pile up. If you don’t understand an assignment, don’t be afraid to ask your parents ama your friends to explain it. Si lazima you struggle sana.

 

Prepare your storoz

Of course when storoz will be shared, hautaki kuwa the one with nothing to changa. Have some anecdotes ready to answer the inevitable question about what you did over the holiday. Remembering the highlights of your holiday is sure to put you in a good mood!
