Sleep is vital to the human body throughout the high school year. I have learned through my own personal experiences that you will encounter many sleepless nights due to insignificant things, homework, or stress. If you're anything like me, then you will procrastinate until the last minute which causes numerous amount of homework to be piled on you. According to Ernest Hemingway, "“I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?”"  This quote is especially relevant when dealing with high school. I hope what further information I provide helps you with high school. I have concluded that you have to obtain a specific sleep schedule. 

I advise you to take a few simple electives this being that you can sleep peacefully and at ease in them. This meaning that most nights you will stay up late and wake up super early for school. Taking an easy class in first period or early in the morning is a blessing. Taking a peaceful nap in class you honestly can't get a better feeling than that. The best types of naps are in trig class in my case. The type of naps where you wake up from a deep sleep and drool all over the desk. Yes, those are the best naps! 

Then at other times you have to make sure to stay awake in dual credit classes those are extremely important--considering the material is what you would learn in a college core class. However, in any other class that is less important feel free to just sleep. I believe we should all be allowed to take thirty minute naps in school to increase productivity. This would be very beneficial and would increase a student's attention span and also concentration on the specific subject. 

I think many students would agree that napping is class is a wonderful feeling. I think we all have our days, when we just need a big nap. Sit back and relax because you won't have many simple high school days left. Enjoy life while you can and be carefree. Just don't fall in asleep in a strict teacher's class. ;) Lastly, let the nap ever be in your favor. 

Lunch is an important social time in during the day in high school. Occasionally, some students have time to converse or talk in the hall or classrooms. Typically, however most social time occurs during lunch. Although, the food isn't very enticing always, this gives all students time to relax and take a break. I have made numerous amount of memories during lunch throughout high school.

If I can advise you of one important thing; be sure to bring your own salt! Simply because lunchrooms across America have put restrictions on salt it appears. My close friend, Kenzie bought salt and pepper to bring to lunch every day which is a complete essential. I'm appreciative for the food i'm fed, but sometimes salt truly helps enhance the flavor. 

Always take into consideration that in high school we do not receive "silent lunch" for talking loud. The cafeteria is always boisterous and far from the term silent. In middle school, multiple times we would receive silent lunch if we were became overwhelmingly loud. I came to the realization that this quickly changes when you come to high school. The cafeteria truly sounds like a bunch of animals, but i'm perfectly fine with that.

My experience of lunch has always been quite interesting. My ninth grade year I was convinced that the acronym "cl" stood for chocolate lovers. Completely clueless that this stood for chocolate laxatives. That was a wonderful experience and if you consume over almost a full bag of laxatives be sure to drink plenty of water! Now to this day all I can do is look back and simply smile.

Adjusting to lunch was always difficult for me at first. Lunch in high school is usually divided into different groups or categories. Middle school students are usually over-whelmed at first but then adjust. You have the decision of where you prefer to sit and are considered much more responsible. You have free time to do anything you want--of course you must still abide by school rules.

Enjoy the time you have at lunch in high school, because life soon becomes hectic. Be carefree and don't ever take any moment for granted. Socialize with friends and peers because life quickly changes. Overall, reach out to new people at lunch or spend time with close friends. Enjoy lunch with your peers while it lasts!
