Back to School

Wow, it's been a while! A couple of days stretched into a few and now it's been a whole week since my last post! Sorry about that, I'm going to become much more consistent in the future, I promise :). So it's that time of the year again. School. It felt like January flew through pretty fast and with the end of it comes the end of the holidays. I did achieve a few things in the holidays, even if it wasn't as much as I'd hoped. Here's a few -

-catching up with friends

-doing several diy projects

-going shopping! Yay!

-start to get healthier

-plan out my future blog posts

-visit the beach a lot

-get all of my school stuff nice and organised and ready for tomorrow

The last few days I have been covering my school books, and I decided to be creative and make up my own designs. 

What I used:

Plain white paper

Double sided tape

Pretty paper

Printed labels

Glue stick

Plastic sleeves or clear contact

To start with I put down some double sided tape and stuck a white peice of paper to the front and back of each book. Because it was still kind of see-through I did another one over the top. 

Then measure out some strips of patterned paper and fold them in half. Glue them around the spines of the books with the glue stick.

Print and cut out your labels and stick them on the front. (I haven't done this yet because I don't know what subjects I need books for!)

And your done!! These are nice and simple and allow heaps of room for personalization.

Here's a couple things I want to do to this school year! -

Be Healthier

This year for school I'm going to try and be healthier because having set times for meals really is a good way to stay on track, and eating at the same time each day is kind of inevitable at school.

There are several foods I'd like to eat more of at school including healthy popcorn, nuts, fruit, dried fruit, sandwiches, salads, and much, much less canteen food! In fact I'm going to try really hard not to have any canteen food at all. Haha good luck with that Maddie...

Workout more + go to bed early

I'm also going to get up earlier so I can do a morning workout every day, and go to bed earlier too. I think this will really help me get more out of my day, and sleep is very important!

Get Organised

This year I get a bit of a room makeover and am getting a big desk, so hopefully that will help me with my school work and to be inspired to work harder. I'm also going to try and keep my locker Organised at school, and keep my school books neat and tidy.

Those are just a couple of goals and things I'm doing to be organized this school year. I hope you enjoyed this post, and I hope you have a great school year this year too :). 

Have you gone back to school yet?

Au Revoir xx
