A Complete Bosconian's Guide for a New School Year

The summer season is almost over, and the time has come again to prepare ourselves for the upcoming school year. The previous school years have a lot of things to teach us as students. Now is the time for us once again to start fresh and be a better version of ourselves. Let me give you 5 simple tips to better prepare yourself for the coming school year.

1. Organize your things

First and foremost, it is our duty as Bosconians to be the ones accountable for our own things. Although we have our parents to prepare for our stuff, it is not their duty but ours. We should be the ones viewing our checklist of school materials whether we have completed it or not. It is but time that we take some responsibility for ourselves.

2. Mentally prepare yourself

Aside from preparing ourselves physically, you have to set your mind that the summer season is almost over. We must avoid a gloomy face because summer is ending. Rather, we must put on a smiling countenance and be optimistic for the coming school year. It is a new adventure wherein we meet old friends and new ones, old teachers and new ones as well. There would be new learning opportunities that will help us grow.

3. Start moving

I know that many of us were busy relaxing ourselves all throughout summer. However, as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. We cannot go on with this relaxation nation. It is time that we start moving once again like helping more in the household chores or perhaps opening some books again and engaging in some mental gymnastics. Through these things, you would at least be ready for the rigors of school work.

4. Set goals

Since we are about to start something new again, why not set new goals for yourself. Prepare your objectives for the coming school year. For example, you may make it your goal to be better at English this time compared to the previous school year. After setting goals, identify lines of action that you can concretely do and that which is attainable. If for example you aim to be better in your English class, you may work on speaking more to others in English every day or read English books for at least 10 minutes per day. In this way you know that you are achieving your goals.

5. Pray

After everything has been said and done, a Bosconian will surely not leave out God in his/her life. Preparing oneself spiritually is also a must. Ask the help of Jesus to guide you for the coming school year and that no harm will befall upon you. Also ask the assistance of our Lady, Help of Christians to intercede for you always. Through these, you would realize that in everything you do, you do it for God.
