Wake up everybody


Dear readers,

Hope you all had a great new year's eve! Nobody lost any fingers lighting fireworks? Okay, good! I think a lot of us want to start this year off fresh, with new plans, sports, friends, fun things in general... Too bad there's always school. Year in, year out.
I know my first week's been pretty hectic so far, so here are some tips to help you stay awake, alert and ready to ace those tests :-D

-drink tea ; keeps ya eyes open. 4-6 cups a day will help reduce stress hormone levels.
-take a walk ; a five-minute walk will help freshen up your mind
-let the music play; there are people who just can't concentrate with music on (*raises hand*) and there are some who can. Stop all schoolwork, put on a song or two, sing a long, pause your iTunes, and get back to work.
-flirt ; uhm yes no kidding. It gets the heart and brain working full speed! It's energizing :)
-2 and no more! ; you can't keep your head in the game after 2 hours. Just quite, do something else, go eat, sleep, whatever! Two is enough!
-freeeeze! take a cold shower. It wakes you up, believe me haha. If you're chicken and think you'll die, try putting the shower on 'cold' the last two minutes you're enjoying the rain.
-BRIGHT COLORS! yes, wearing bright colors and fun patterns makes you feel happy and peppy.
- Peanut butter....lemon time?! smell a lemon. I'm serious! citrus scents stimulate alertness ; the Vitamin C inside = miracle worker.


Love,Rachelle
