When trying to get rid of a bad habit use some sort of aid to help you get rid of the bad habit and then once you've reconstructed your habit get rid of the aid. One example would be that I always used to lose my keys, but one day I had decided that instead of lose my keys I was going to use a carabiner to attach my keys to my body. Once I got used to always picking up my keys, I decided that it was time to ditch the carabiner. I haven't lost my keys since!

The computers are useful at school. They provide us with more knowledge and a chance to show responsibility.

If you are trying to minimize the amount of clothes you have, but don't know which pieces to get rid of, turn all of your hangers one way. Next, after you wear a clothing piece turn the hanger the opposite way of the original direction. At the end of the month donate or throw away all of the clothing on hangers that are still hanging in the original direction. This will reduce the amount of clothing you own to only what you wear.

Try to be organized, it helps. Speaking from personal experience.

The reason that busses stop at train tracks is because in December 1938 in Utah, a bus was driving in a blizzard and got hit by a train since he couldn't see the train and know to stop. This tragedy killed everyone on the bus, which of course included children. It became a law that all busses must stop at train tracks and listen for the whistle, but that law has been changed in some states so that you don't have to stop anymore.

I think cell phones are useful. They allow access to the internet and you can call or text other people. This also helps for emergencies.

Using a planner helps to keep me organized. I even go as far as color coding the different activities I do to help me stay on track of things. Nice tip!

Try to eat breakfast. I don't feel very good rn and I know its cause I'm hungry.

Snapple is the best drink on this universe. Snapple teaches one new fact on every bottle you get on the cap. Snapple also is just thirst quenching and it is appetizing with anything you eat. Snapple makes you learn a new fact everyday that you can pass on to the next person. There is a large variety of flavors of snapple so it can practically be for everybody unless your unhealthy because of all the sugar in snapple. Snapple is useful because it goes with any food, tastes good and teaches a new fact every bottle you drink.

Brayden your tip was very useful as I have a few bad habits i should fix myself

If you find yourself without cheese for a recipe, don't sub mustard in for it. It will taste awful.

You can use the sticky notes on your computer to replace your planner.

An easy way to cut a green pepper is to first core it, and then cut it from the top down so the pepper may be opened as a long piece. This may then be cut into smaller slices quickly.

This year I think the computers are useful to us. They hold our homework for us. They are able to bring us to all our teachers websites and their lesson plans. Being able to own this computer all year shows that teachers believe we are responsible enough. The computers allow us to have access to internet at home. This is great for people that do not own a computer at home.

Good comment! You should never be afraid to ask a question if you are confused.

In order to become the best you can be, one must practice diligently. A principal clarinetist in a symphony did not achieve that position by practicing only once a week. Michael Jordan did not become one of the best basketball players by ceasing his practices after being cut from his high school varsity basketball team. Practicing does make perfect, maybe not immediately, but eventually.

If you know you are going to be late for work or an event, always call someone and tell them because they will be less upset with you if they know you are going to be a little. Its better than showing up late without telling anyone so everyone is waiting on you.
