Get Into a Middle School Morning Routine
Morning routines are helpful—especially in middle school. This article will show you how to get into a middle school morning routine.
Steps
The Night Before
- Pick out your clothes. They can be stylish, but make sure that they are comfortable and won't get in the way of your education.
- Avoid choosing clothes that are too tight or too loose. Also avoid clothes with tears and stains.
- Try to choose clothes that express your personality.
- Follow your school's dress code. Generally, this means that revealing or suggestive clothing is prohibited. If your school requires a uniform, make sure to wear that.
- Pack up your school bag the night before. That way, you can grab your bag and go in the morning, and not have to worry about it.
- If you pack your lunch, try putting your lunch in your lunch bag and then in the refrigerator if necessary.
- If you prefer to buy lunch, make sure you have your lunch money.
- Make sure you have all of the essentials (your pens, pencils, erasers, folders, planners, etc.) packed.
- Avoid unnecessary items, as they can just become unnecessary weight.
- Get any forms permission slips signed. Chances are the adult you want the slip signed by won't have time to sign it in the morning.
The Next Morning
- Wake up with more time than you need. If you've prepared very well the night before, you probably can wake up a little later. If you do go to bed fairly late, you'll definitely need extra sleep in the morning.
- If you want to shower, do so now or the night before. It's a good idea to shower everyday. However, doing it the night before saves time in the morning. On the other hand, many people get hot and sweaty at night and prefer to wash in the morning.
- While in the bathroom, take care of some of your daily hygiene and cosmetic needs. Brush your teeth, wash your face, put on deodorant, and turn on straighteners and curling irons if you plan to use them.
- Go back to your room and put on your clothes.
- You could also take them into the bathroom with you so that you can change right there, as opposed to going back and forth between the bathroom and your room.
- Return to the bathroom. If you want to, use those straighteners and curling irons. Now is also the time for you to put on jewelry, style your hair, and if you wear makeup,to put that on as well.
- Put on your socks and shoes.
- Make sure to wear a clean pair of socks every day.
- Make your bed. It can help keep your room looking tidy. If you don't have time to do this, you can do it after school, before bed, or you could just wake up a little earlier.
- Eat a nutritious breakfast. Having breakfast is a crucial part of the day, so make sure that you have enough time for it!
- As a last resort, you can just grab a granola bar.
- Go to the bus stop, or wherever it is you get your ride to school. Do you have extra time? Go ahead and do homework, tidy your appearance, or watch T.V. Keep an eye on the time!
