haha honestly my first thought was that you totally lost it :P

The night before Jesus... what's the actual formula for happiness?

Fine, you keep messing around on Tapatalk while I head over to IGN to waste my precious time🤣

Back in Elementary School, I was always struggling to catch the bus. I'd wake up at 7:00, and the bus wouldn't come until 7:35. Then I realized if I just got up 10 minutes earlier, I'd make it every single time without any stress 👍

BRAVO!!!!!🤣

hollowtinker40 said:First off, "comb" is fine, but since schools use all sorts of different textbooks, who cares? Grammar is clearly just a suggestion at this point...

Second, it's "subscribe," not "suscribe." 🤣😍

Third, kid, your problem is easy to fix—just have a parent or grandparent shake you awake until you actually get out of bed. Your one job is to jump up, brush your teeth, get dressed, and get moving to school.

And once you graduate, maybe swing by the forum again. 😁

First, "comb" is wrong. I'm typing fast because these laptop keys are tiny and my fingers have a mind of their own.

Second, I speak English like Barack Obama; I don't write it, I speak it.

Third, I don't have grandparents around. My job is to wake up, eat breakfast, brush my teeth, get dressed, get to school, and then sit there doing nothing because I already know half the curriculum...

You’re acting like a total child...☕

I'm 12, but mentally I'm more like 30.

Higher pay just means higher expenses. Saving isn't about the math, it's about... I don't know... 🤷

I pull in over $5,000, and even with my mortgage, saving isn't any easier than it is for someone making less... 🤷

Oh, while we're talking money...
The school district didn't even reimburse teachers for travel costs this December. My gym teacher just got back from maternity leave after having twins. All these teachers complain about their salaries being too low 🙂 but she's out here using an iPhone and an Android Tablet.
🙂

Give me a break...

If you save five bucks every single day, that adds up over the year... $608

hollowtinker40 said:I'll give it a shot too...

Yeah, exactly. Except it doesn't work like that. I struggle with it too—one minute I’m strictly disciplined, almost military style... and then suddenly, I can't hear anything. Not the alarm, not thunder, not even a subway train or someone banging on my door...

So, I finally figured out my winning formula... it goes something like this:

Keep the apartment clean...

Keep everything exactly where it belongs so I don't waste time hunting for stuff later—not that there's anything to hunt for, since everything stays put... then I just grab it and go.

Go to bed without the TV on. No scrolling through your phone, laptop, or iPad beforehand either. Just hit those scented lotions first... maybe some lavender or vanilla...

Set the alarm for 6:00 AM. No snooze button allowed because I know myself—I'll just hit it by mistake since the buttons are too close together... So I set backups for 6:06, 6:13, 6:20, and 6:27. Even if I'm already awake when the first one goes off, they all have to ring. You never know... I might have drifted back off.

Bathroom routine: pee, brush teeth, tongue, face, nose blowing... then hair.

Kitchen routine: heat the milk first, get the coffee brewing while that's going, pour a glass of water, and prep my cup with sugar... once everything's hot, I mix it all and head to my room.

Coffee's on the vanity. I lay everything out exactly how I use it: liquid foundation with the sponge, then the kabuki brush and powder, followed by blush and its brush. Then the detail work... small brushes, eyeshadow one, eyeshadow two, black liner, and finally mascara...

I’ll end up wearing exactly what I was mulling over last night... and refining during my morning bathroom and kitchen run. I don't bother ironing in the morning—that's an evening task. I try to buy low-maintenance stuff from the jump, but if I do grab a shirt, I iron it the second it comes out of the dryer. Honestly, I pull everything out of the washer immediately, give it a good shake, and iron it while it's still fresh and unwrinkled. It only applies to a few items since everything else is basically wrinkle-free...

Get dressed, slap on another coat of mascara since the first layer already dried up, pack away my makeup, toss my coffee mug in the sink, and put my shoes on...

Back to my vanity, swipe on some more red lipstick, a quick spritz of my favorite perfume, toss on a fancy scarf and... I'm ready!!

Plus, I've got my favorites on shuffle on my phone...

One last look in the mirror, grab my jacket, toss on my bag, and let's go...

If I roll out of bed at 6:10, this routine gets me done by 6:33... maybe 6:35 max.

Then I can just head wherever I need to go. If I have to trek across town, I try to be out the door by 6:30... because after that, the traffic starts getting a little crazy...

I’m feeling lazy this weekend. Staying in my pajamas... I already grabbed the milk, bread, and everything else on Friday just so I wouldn't have to leave the house. Unless, of course, I actually head out with friends...

I’d need at least four hours just to deal with all this... 😁
I'm only 12, so I don't need to bother with makeup... and Mom just handles all my laundry and ironing for me anyway. And it's not "with a comb," I'm actually combing it...

I roll out of bed at 6:55 AM, stumble to the bathroom, and go through the usual routine... pee, wash up, brush my hair. Then I drag myself to the kitchen to eat some junk, head back to the bathroom to brush my teeth, and finally get dressed in my room. Getting dressed is actually the only fast part because I blast DJ Tiesto on my phone to get moving... then I grab my shoes, trek over to the local CVS, wait for the bus, and head to school. 😁

I walk into the Elementary School, toss my jacket by the door, and hang out with my friend near the entrance. I spend half the time tripping people walking in or dodging this one girl who absolutely hates my guts 🤣 Once everyone's there, I head upstairs, grab my books and pencil case, and then we just sprint through the halls as a class until the teacher catches us. Eventually, we end up in the principal's office while she’s lecturing us, but I usually just pass out until someone shakes me awake. Then it’s back to class, more lessons, then break where we're back to chasing each other through the halls, repeating the whole cycle until sixth period. If you have sixth period off, you're running around the school acting like an idiot; if not, you're stuck in class. After school, we swap our gear, throw on our jackets, and wait for the buses, mostly just causing trouble around the school grounds. When the buses finally arrive, the chaos continues on the ride. We hit the stops, some kids get off, some stay on until the very last stop... which is mine. 😁 Once I'm home, I grab some junk food and rush through my homework before trying to get through some reading. Then it's straight to the computer. I waste way too much damn time on forums and gaming. 🤣 By seven, I eat again, throw on my pajamas, and crash. Then I wake up, and yeah, you know the drill 🤣

Here’s my take: let the alarm blare, get up, and just head to campus. Way better than what I suggested before... 😬

Cloth pads are the only thing that isn't basically toxic. Everything else is just poison... 🙂

A light walk helps with the pain.
BUT NOT RUNNING OR POWER WALKING, just a light stroll...😁

LIBRESSE
FEEL LINE
🙂

Set an alarm on your phone for two hours early and you won't be late, guaranteed. 😁
JUST KIDDING!
Just set all your clocks ten minutes ahead and call it a day. You'll look at the time, think you're running late, and realize you actually have extra time. IT WORKS 1000000000000000000000000000%.
If this doesn't work, I'll buy you a Nobel Prize...
