Smart girl tips for focusing more on grades--and less on guys


 

Check these out, too...

  • How not to pull an all-nighter (and stay sane if you have to)
  • What he really thinks of your fave summer outfit
  • How to deal with a bad kisser
I really want to concentrate on my studies, but I can't stop obsessing about my crush. How can I focus about my school subjects?
 
Hey chica! It can be tough sometimes to remember that school is about, well, school.  Especially after summer, when you haven’t seen your crush in ages, it’s super tough to focus in and deal with homework and notes.  Think about it like this: if you want to impress this dude, the way to do it is not staying home every weekend to catch up on all of the school work you missed out on.
 
Find fun ways to focus in class that will help when your teacher starts to lecture on about things way less interesting than your crush.  Try bringing bright pens to class and color coding your notes with them or trying to make silly sentences to remember steps to solve a problem in math class.  If you’re having fun paying attention, you’ll be able to keep your mind off of the cutie sitting in front of you and you will be in perfect shape to offer to be his study buddy for the big test!

Mod mod,
So i like this guy. Only problem? My he is kinda out of my leage. He is popular and im, well, .... not. He is single, but how do i flirt with him without being obnoxious and all over him????? Hiw do i get him to notice me?????? Help!!!!

Hey girl,

Go easy on yourself--I'm sure you're super awesome, and popularity is WAY overrated! You don't have to be "flirty," but just introduce yourself to him and start a casual conversation and see where things go from there!

I have the same problem. I want to focus more on my studies like I used to, but now all I think about is guys. Not every minute but you know what I mean. I like it and hate it at the same time.

My BF and my BFF got into a huge fight. My boyfriend got mad at my best friend because she had said something behind his back. It wasnt like she told the whole school or anthing, it was just girl talk. My BF, we'll call him D and my best friend were really close. D told everybody in our little group to stop liking my best friend. Now he really regrets it, but she wont forgive him or everybody in our group aside from me. I'm stuck in the middle with D saying how sorry he is and my BFF refusing to accept his apology. What do I do?????




Hey girl, it stinks to be the monkey in the middle in this case. All you can really do is wait for both D and your BFF's emotions to calm down. Give it a couple of days and then tell her seriously how much your BF has been apologizing. Your goal at that point is to set up a meeting between them so they can talk things out. It's not your job to fix this as much as it'd be great if you could. You can't; they've got to want to fix it and fix it together. All you can do is play messenger and set up the opportunity. Good luck!

xoxo

Okay so there is this guy I really like...and he naturally flirts with 3 of my closest friends and me...we all have our own inside jokes with him and what not but I know for a fact that only one of the other girls and I like him...we've all talked it through and we promised to not let him come between us...so last night him and I were up late texting as usual and the subject of him likening one of the girls thAt doesn't like him came up..he told me he doesn't like anyone tight now it's just the way he treats people. And I was just like oh okay I haven't told him I like him but we flirt a lot like a lot... And asked me to go to the movies...but he also said the other three girls should come?? He asked me to hang out with him before school tomorrow... Anyways I'm stuck...any help on what to do?? Thanks!

 

Hey glamgal97, mhmm maybe he's trying to figure out if he likes you. He's taking it slow and spending more time with you, to see if you two would be a good match. Take it slow too and really get to know him. And if things don't go in a romantic direction, it's always good to have friends. Hope this helps! Xoxo
