Life is good during the summer—but it’s time to get right back to the swing of BTS school szn (papers, exams and dusting off that planner? Yeah, we’re not ready). It might feel bittersweet to leave the pool parties and beach reads of summer, but BTS season comes with its perks. Think: new wardrobe, new grades, new mindset and new you.
Start Waking Up Earlier
One of the (many) perks of summer? Waking up whenever you’d like…which can also feel like a dose of cold water to your face when you realize that you’ll have to wake up early for school (yikes). Start setting your alarm so your body can slowly get used to waking up early. Incorporate something like a yummy breakfast or a small workout to get your mind and body ready for the long days and late-night studying ahead.
Buy Your Supplies (And Make An Event Out Of It!)
From shiny new notebooks to backpacks, the feeling of a fresh start couldn’t get any stronger. Make a list of everything you need this year, and check with your teachers if you need anything specific. Then, plan a Target trip with besties to grab all the cute (and matching) supplies of your Pinterest dreams.

Plan Your First Day Outfit
New school year = new fit. The first day of school is already pretty nerve-wracking, so picking out your first day outfit beforehand is a great idea to save stress the morning of. Plus, you can always have an impromptu shopping spree if nothing in your closet seems like *the* outfit.
Write Down All The #Goals You Want To Accomplish This Year
Want to snag all A’s on your next report card or your dream musical role? Manifest your goals into reality by writing them all down (think: post-it over your mirror, on your locker, in your Notes app) and check them off one by one as you accomplish them. That way, you have them handy *and* can track your progress.
