Hey, blogettes! Here is your top post from the poll that I posted like a couple of weeks back. You wanted to know what my favorite organizing tools were. I am going to tell you those now, and I just wanted you to know that here pretty soon there will be another poll posted on this blog so be sure to view often and vote if you want to see something that you helped to pick out on my blog. Leave comments too as I have unblocked anonymous commenting again. I hope that you people will use the comments section right and don't abuse it, but I think that you ladies know the proper way to act while online. Anyways, now to what you wanted to know.
My favorite organizing tools for school is fun bags. I have a neon gym bag, a backpack which I always have with me because it carries all of my tools and homework around until that class and then I switch it to the appropriate bag when I don't have any homework. I also have this really awesome fringe bag, but it is a hassle because it get stuck on things so I recommend that if you are going to use this tip that you keep having three bags at the top and without fringe so that they are mess and hassle free and you can easily fit them in your lockers and go around school with them.
I'm also a person who likes to organize my locker once a month and ask if I really need things to be in there because if I haven't used them in a while they should probably go and be gone because they are taking up space and the lockers in my school are small. I mean being organized and on top of everything is what it takes if you are going to get by at my school. That, and our teachers aren't the type of teachers who find missing or late assignments okay. You can get a pass and take a zero for the assignment if you really can't find it like I have had to do once so far this middle school career. I'm pretty organized at school so our four minute switching times are best used and I get to class on time all the time. I also make sure my locker is organized because there is no room in between lockers when everyone is going to theirs and has them open.
I try to go to my locker three times a day and leave it at that because I am organized and that gives my neighbors more room and less time or the excuse that I was in the way. In high school you have three minute passing times and your classes are all over the place so being organized and on top of things is key, as well as sometimes having a planned out schedule with the passing times that you are going to visit your locker or get a drink in and what classes are when and what colors they are. I have found out that color coding things has really made my locker visits faster. I have also been more organized, and focused on what things need to be where and what needs to work out when and wherever they are. I am focused on making things better and easier for me and that means making sure that my locker is in tip top shape all the time.
I also like post it notes. I put them all over the place at home to keep me organized in the morning and remind me of things. I don't use them a lot of time at school because I feel like they are easy to lose if the sticky backing on them sucks, which trust me, they will start to be like that when they have been in your locker or bags long enough. Instead, at school, I use this app on our laptops called Stickies. They are just like post it notes that you can either stick on your dashboard if you computer is a macbook like ours are, or on your desktop. I use both, the ones on my desktop are serious notes, while the ones on my dashboard are more like fun things that are kind of random that you look at and can't help but smile because they make you feel so happy and good. I like to use those notes as a confidence booster, and a great wake up call every morning. When I look at them I feel refreshed and ready like nothing matters but what I do and what my actions are like because my actions lead my own future and I need to make them count for that now even though it is still early.
If you are talking about music, I like making playlists out of all the songs that I have for different moods after I have listened to the songs, and then getting rid of those songs that you aren't feeling the vibe of anymore or they don't fit in on a playlist, because if you know me, you know that when it comes to iTunes I have everything on a playlist that I listen to instead of having to search for those amazing songs that I really like a lot which takes up a lot of time, and is boring because you are supposed to be jamming out either focusing on work which is really hard with music going I think, but some people study like that anyways, or having a good time, or putting in a workout. Otherwise, I use Pandora, because everything that they play is through a simple search of the type of music that you like and they will most likely have a station for it. You can even search your favorite band or movie if it has a soundtrack, and add those to the mix, and if you are in a musical most of the time you can find the musical on Pandora as well to listen to some of the songs, and see how it sounds.
I found this to be really nice especially since the directors said that "Hello, Dolly!" was a really complex musical to learn the blocking and songs of because there was so much going on, and there were so many people singing in some cases and doing different things at times that it was so hard to learn. I got lost myself there at first, but Pandora made practicing at home easier for me because I was able to hear what it was supposed to sound like if we or I in that case was getting it done the right way.
Oh, and call me weird but I prefer reading books that have endings where you know what was going on when it ended and you could kind of duck tail off of it, or books in a series because I hate when things just drop you off, even though I sometimes drop off my thoughts, it just bugs me when it happens in books, especially if the book that you were reading was really good and dropped off just as things were getting intense. I know that the author usually gives a preview of the next story if it is in a series but it is only a preview and most of the time, those previews don't do much because the author wants you to read the full story in order to find out what happens.
Anyways, that was that for you and I hope that you enjoyed it because I honestly stink when it comes to making recommendations on things. I hope people don't take this post too serious because I honestly could have done a better job explaining things or so I think because there would be a lot of things that I would have questions on but as of right now, I am going through a minor brain problem because I have a migraine and I cannot seem to focus or think clearly.
