Advice Column: This is exactly what I need advice on. I'd say plan ahead; make sure you know what you need to do in one day and how much of your time it will take, and plan around that. Or, alternatively, throw your homework and agenda in the bin and watch Frozen II, and when your teacher asks for your homework, say "Elsa froze it" XD

LotM: Riding a pumpkin carriage   (reference to the show I'm in :P) 

Advice: heh I'm bad at this but like setting timers so it's like a race against yourself to finish the tasks. Like, I think my bio hw will take me 20 mins, so I set a timer for 20 mins and try to finish all of it in that time (if I guessed wrong then I can add more time but I can't let myself get distracted or else the timer will run out and I won't win). Also, make sure you write down/keep track of assignments. I can never remember to actually pull out a planner during the school day and esp after school so I have a lil sticky note tapes to the blank spot of the keyboard of the computer so I can write them down there bc I'll def see that bc otherwise "outta sight outta mind" :)

LMWAY: How do you celebrate the arrival of autumn?: I might go outside and enjoy the autumn colors, and take a lot of photos and collect leaves

Advice Column: What are your tips for staying on task with everything (like school and other activities)? It's easy! Take me, for instance. I'm completely finished with all my homework for the week, I have lots and lots and lots of free time, I - oh. Haha. Never mind :(

Just joking - for actual advice, get a planner and write everything down in it. It's a huge help not to have to keep everything in your thoughts. And don't procrastinate - just do things. Try to work fairly quickly - do a good job, of course, but don't get bogged down. If you're really enjoying it, you can always return to it later when you have more time. And don't take on more extracurriculars than you can handle - be sure to keep yourself rested. Even if you think you can handle something, maybe give it a miss for the moment, in order to save that extra energy and time.

Important Dates: Any birthday, CBversary, or other important days you want in the MCU? List them here! Halloween - that's all I can think of

LotM: Where will you be in October? (Remember to make sure it fits in the location box!) : Brown October Ale (I think it's the title of a song, and it's all I can think of right now)

hey hey! i love october eee :)

advice column: i would say just write things down in a planner or your phone, and do things when you remember to--procrastinating is the easier choice in the moment but your later self will thank you
