Action of the Week: Reconnect

Our action of the week this week is to reconnect with all those school friends you've been missing all summer. When school was in session you were cool, chatting in the halls and texting nearly every night, but summer rolls around and... now what? You gotta stay connected, and the more you try the better relationships you will have in the year to come.

So keep it simple: leave them a 'hey miss u hows ur summer' text or message them on the internet; whatever works. It doesn't have to be complex, just show them you care and are not ditching them completely in these hot months. More likely than not, if you really are good friends then they will be glad you did. And even in if your not, it'll show how nice you are. And well, that'll win votes when you run for class prez.

So don't be afraid or shy; those are weaknesses. You have to be open to new ideas: its summer for crying out loud. If your not going to be spontaneous now, then when will you ever?


Make some plans for a little party full of games and stuff. Bring a camera and the pics will become your immediate defaults, memories you'll love forever! Find something fun like guitar hero or swimming and get everyone to join in. Just because schools out doesn't mean you should lose certain people.

What to get:

- popcorn

- sunscreen

- charged camera

- m&ms

- tye dye

- lemonade
