Ask the Staff by Kori Teague Guest Reporter Q: I am nervous about a tough school year. What should I do to keep my stress low? A: First off, don‘t bite off more than you can chew. Get a planner so you can keep up with what you have going on. Make sure you can keep your priorities in order. If school is the most important thing to you, make sure you get school work done before you worry about anything else. Don‘t over work yourself. Allow yourself some chill time every day. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Enjoy your year, but still get everything done. It is very possible. If you have a question that you would like to ―Ask the Staff‖, let Kori know.
