How to Make the Most Out of Girls State Struggles:
By Isabella McCallum and Sydney Smith
Part One:
Making the Most Out of Waiting In Line
We all know the struggle of waiting in line. Whether it be at Girls State, or in other experiences, it is very annoying. Here we have some helpful tips to make the wait just a little more bearable.
Tip #1: Take this as an opportunity to introduce yourself to people you haven’t met yet. When in situations when the whole state is together, such as meals, get to know people outside your own.
Tip #2: Use this as a chance to contact home or upload pictures to your social media. Just don’t forget to socialize with other Girls State members as well!
Tip #3: Campaign! Waiting in line is a great chance to talk to others and get to know them better to make the connections needed to win.
Tip #4: Take a minute to appreciate the surroundings. Girls State is only a 5-day program; take in the views, it’s a beautiful campus.
Tip #5: Connect with people! Ask people about their hobbies and passions. Maybe you’ll have something in common and will make a life long bond.
Part Two:
Making the Most Out of Getting Up Early
We all know the struggle of waking up early. Being teenagers, we all have a certain tendency towards sleep and rest. As much as we all would love to sleep in, we have some great tips to make early mornings just a little easier.
Tip #1: Set a fun alarm. Wake up to something you actually want to hear and it will make pressing the snooze button just a little harder.
Tip #2: Coffee. Get coffee. Caffeine will be your friend during Girls State, especially during these early mornings.
Tip #3: If you wake up with early morning exercise, you go Glen Coco. But honestly the morning air can be a great way to feel energized and prepare you for the day.
Tip #4: Go to bed at a reasonable time and try not to stay up past lights out. Remember that the later you go to bed, the harder it will be to get up.
Tip #5: Set multiple alarms. If you only set one alarm you might sleep through it and be late or rushed.
Part Three:
Making the Most Out of Polos
We all know the struggle of our green polos. All of you fashionistas might worry about how to rock your polo, but we have some helpful tips to make your polo a little more stylish.
Tip #1: Wear cute, fun hairstyles. This is a great way to express your personality and manage your hair in the hot weather.
Tip #2: Bedazzle your polo. The polo is the window to the soul, so make it as you as possible!
Tip #3: Take advantage of any opportunity to wash your polo. As we all know, it’s hot outside and we all sweat. Also, use the D.O. for your B.O. :)
Tip #4: Respect, yo. Polos represent an important tradition in girls state. No matter how much your like or don’t like your polo, we’re all in this together.
Tip #5: You are more than your appearance. Get to know girls more for who they are and what they stand for.
