High School Agenda-Back to School 2014

Your high school agenda, literally and figuratively, for back to school 2014.  I love a new planner; add colorful theme, stickers, color coding I am in!  This Lilly Pulitzer agenda is perfect.  I am going to give you an up close and personal tour of it. Now for some general back to school discussion.  We all basically know what we should be doing, so I am just going to throw a few ideas and suggestions out there for ya.  In this age where we have an app for everything (we will look at those later), sometimes just taking the time to write things out on paper makes you slow down and retain things more.  I am a huge fan of flash cards for studying.  The act of writing out what I am learning with the visual really helps, along with word association and cheesy drawings on the card.   Whatever it takes, and yes this lady does these things, along with my 13 year old :o.  As far as general back to school tips and ideas for success, check out these tips.  This was interesting to see five different perspectives, I especially like the 8th grade males.   I want to share in the giddy excitement of getting a new agenda with you guys!  This  Lilly Pulitzer agenda is  taken, but I am giving one large agenda away Wednesday the 13th at 6 p.m. EST.  Comment below with your favorite thing about going back to school to enter.  *Continental US only, winner will be chosen at random*
