Problem: Article: Jade plants are succulents, which means that, while they do need water, they don’t need a lot. If you touch the soil and it feels moist, the plant does not need water. On the other hand, if you notice the leaves are starting to wilt then you know the plant is not getting enough water.  Stick your finger up to the first knuckle into the soil. If it is dry, then it is OK to water it. If it is still moist, then it doesn’t need more water.  In the winter months, your plant will likely need even less watering than normal so be sure to always check the soil.  Many people recommend watering succulents by soaking the entire pot in a tub of water, which allows the plant to soak up the water from the bottom. However, you can also water the plant by pouring water into the pot through the top. The most important thing is that you allow the excess water to drain completely from the pot. Do not leave the Jade plant sitting in water. If you notice excess water, be sure to empty it from the saucer. Try to avoid getting the leaves wet when watering. Jade does need a lot of sunlight, but that doesn’t mean it needs to be in full sun for the entire day. Avoid placing your jade plant in a south-facing window, as it will probably burn. Instead, look for a place where your plant will get about 3 to 5 hours of sun each day. Move your plant in stages. For example, if you have been keeping your jade in a dark, shadowy corner, but want to move it to a bright window sill, don’t just pick the plant up and plop it on the window sill. Such an extreme change is likely to cause the leaves of the Jade to burn and fall off. Instead, move the plant gradually so it has time to adjust. For example, move the plant out of the dark corner to a place where it may get an hour of indirect sunshine. Leave it there for at least a few days before moving it to an area with a bit more sunshine. Keep doing this until you’ve got your plant to the desired location. If any leaves have fallen off the tree into the pot, remove them. You can also prune your plant to keep it healthy. If you want to prune your jade, you can remove just about anything you want, but avoid messing with the main stem too much, or you may kill the plant. Cutting off new growth will help the plant stay more bush-like and less spindly. Jade plants are very hardy and easy to keep alive, so you don’t have to worry much about whether the temperature is right. Keep them in a place at room temperature. This means that you shouldn’t place them in a south facing window where they will receive direct sunlight for most of the day. In the winter, they prefer a slightly cooler temperature (e.g. around 55 degrees Fahrenheit or 13 degrees Celsius).
Summary: Allow the plant to dry out before watering. Place the plant in a sunny area. Keep the plant neat. Keep the plant at the right temperature.

Problem: Article: Plan out what you're going to wear and what you will need for class. Pack your book bag with everything you need for the next day and double check that it’s all there. If you wear makeup or style your hair in the morning, lay out those products as well so you don’t have to search for them. If you have physical education, pack a gym bag with extra clothes, deodorant, soap if you plan to shower, and anything else you might need for the day. Set it next to your book bag so you don’t forget it. To save time in the morning, prepare your lunch ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. For the first day, focus on bringing healthy, filling food that won’t spoil if it’s outside of the refrigerator. Don’t forget to include a drink in your lunch, and pack yourself a treat like a piece of chocolate to help you get through your day.  For example, you might make a sandwich for the first day. For snacks, you can include a piece of fruit like an apple or banana, and another healthy snack, like pretzels, trail mix, or a protein bar. Pack a water or a juice to drink with your lunch, as well! If you’re not going to pack your lunch, be sure to have at least $5-$6 on hand for buying lunch from the cafeteria. Some schools have lunch accounts where you should be able to load money onto your account before the school year. If you don’t have an account, bring cash to pay for lunch. Choose a bed time that will give you at least 8 hours of sleep, depending on when you wake up in the morning. When it’s time for bed, turn off the lights in your room, and put away or turn off any electronics, like your phone, laptop, video games, or TV. If you’re having trouble getting to sleep, turn on a dim lamp and read a book, or take a warm bath to relax.  Avoid exercising, watching scary movies, or drinking anything that has caffeine in it before going to bed. These can all make it difficult to get to sleep, causing you to be tired for your first day. For example, if you need to wake up at 6 a.m., you should be in bed by 10 p.m. to get 8 hours of sleep. Give yourself at least 1 hour to get ready for the day. Depending on your morning routine, you might not need a full hour, but it’s best to plan ahead to give yourself enough time. Plan to take a shower, get dressed, do your hair, apply makeup if you wear it, and eat breakfast. If these tasks take you longer than an hour, set your alarm for 15-30 minutes earlier. Remember, you should be leaving your house with plenty of time to get to the school. Your breakfast is your fuel for the first part of the morning. Try foods like cereal, muesli, toast, pancakes, fruit, or even smoothies. Focus on eating foods that have a lot of protein and fiber, like meat, peanut butter, eggs, oats, nuts, and bread. Stay away from sugary cereals and pastries because they can cause you to have a sugar crash later in the day.  If you’re short on time for your first day, try making yogurt parfaits with fruit, oats, nuts, and peanut butter or almond butter the night before. Then, you can just grab the parfait from the fridge and eat it while you get ready. If you have enough time, try making a full breakfast of eggs, toast, sausage, and fruit to get a well-rounded and balanced meal for the day. Plan your route to the school before your first day, and leave with at least an extra 15 minutes to get there. If there’s traffic or you have to find a different route, you won’t be late. Make sure you get to the bus stop at least 5 minutes early in case the bus arrives early.  If your parent is taking you to school, ask if you can leave a little early so you can meet with your friends and compare classes. Your parents might also want to take pictures before you depart for the day. Be sure to plan at least 5 minutes for this while you’re on your way out of the door!
Summary: Set out your supplies and clothes the night before. Pack a lunch if you don’t planning on buying food in the cafeteria. Get at least 8 hours of sleep. Set your alarm so you have plenty of time to get ready. Eat a healthy, filling breakfast. Leave early to walk, drive, or take the bus to school.
