Spring Cleaning

          Hey everybody,

I start my Spring Cleaning this week, so I'm thinking of doing a very deep, very thorough cleaning of my room. I thought that I could share with you guys some tips to clean your room. I'll make this post short but sweet so that you won't waste any time to clean your room! =)

Open your curtains! I always thought that the sunlight helps me work more efficiently. Even if it's cloudy outside (like it is right now, haha), it'll make your room brighter and will somehow make you motivated to clean your room. And if you want, you can even open your windows!

Put some music on, it'll make the cleaning much more fun. You can sing along to a song as you dust your furniture! It makes your cleaning faster too. I clean my room with the playlist on my iPad. But I now have this big CD player thing that can also play the radio, so I use that too. I really like Sugar by Maroon 5 and I Really Like You by Carly Rae Jepsen because both songs are so catchy, and I sing to it all the time so it's like a good distraction while I'm cleaning my room.

Start in one section of your room and finish that section before moving on. For me it's really easy to lose interest in cleaning one particular section of my room, and I always want to move on to another part of my room. But doing that will only lead to a bigger mess in my opinion, so it's good to start one part of the room and finish it.

Take breaks once in a while. For me, the breaks I take when I clean my room is to either just lie on my bed and listen to the music that's on, or to play around the stuff I found while cleaning my room, or to step out of my room to take a breather. You will recollect your thoughts and figure out the next steps to your cleaning.

Don't be lazy, even if it may be hard... You're already doing the very thorough spring cleaning that you do like, once a year, so might as well work out all the corners and stains and cracks of your room. It'll be worth it once you're done!

Set deadlines so that you finish cleaning your room faster. You may find some stuff that you thought you lost a while ago, so you'll start playing with it. You can do that, but there's a chance that you'll lose track of time. So just remember that you have a deadline to meet. You will clean more efficiently!

So these were a few essential tips for when you clean your room! I hope you enjoyed reading this post, and that you will be motivated to clean your own room! Have fun with it, and until next time folks!

Keep Smiling,

Clubs at School

          Hello everyone,
About a month ago I joined a club at my school. The meetings were on Mondays and Thursdays, the same days I had my martial art classes, so those two days of the week were very hectic for me. But, I made it work! This post will be about clubs at school, and why you should join clubs, or sports teams.

If you're interested in something like, let's say basketball, then you can try out for the basketball team. You want to join that club because you like it, and you're interested in what it's about. For instance, I like running, so at the beginning of the year I joined my school's Cross Country team and ran for my school! I joined it last year too, and I got to talk to people I never really talked to from my school! Last year, I also joined my school's book club. It was fun, but because there weren't enough students joining, it got cancelled... but it was fun!

You make new friends when you join clubs, like I've said before. Usually, clubs take in people from different grades, so you will make friends with people from different grades! I joined a club at my school, and now I'm close friends with a lot of students. We recently had this event with different schools, and it was really fun. Not only did I make new friends from my school, but during that event I made friends with students from different schools! It was really cool!

It's good to be involved in your school community. My school always says that it's good to be part of the school community, because you're in the loop of what's happening, and because you'll feel more at home when you do. I say it's better to join clubs than to be at home doing nothing. And, it's good to be a well rounded student, and to be busy.

This was a pretty short post, but I hope you enjoyed reading it! Until next time!!

Keep Smiling,
