64 -"Is Social Media Making Us Tired?"
65 -Have you ever checked your phone first thing in the morning? I do — and sometimes it already makes me feel exhausted before school starts. Social media is fun and helps us stay connected, but I sometimes feel pressure to always reply, post, or stay updated.
66 -For example, when friends send memes or messages, I feel I must react quickly. And if I don't post for a while, I worry people will forget about me. Sounds silly, right? But honestly, many students feel that way. There's also the problem of scrolling forever — suddenly one hour is gone and homework isn't finished. Oops.
67 -Overall, social media isn't "bad", but we should use it in a healthy way. Maybe try phone-free time after 9 pm? What do you think? Tell me your strategies in the comments below!

70 -"Why Taking a Walk Might Save Your School Day!"
71 -School can be super stressful - tests, homework, group projects... it never stops! I used to sit at my desk for hours thinking, "If I don't finish now, my life is over." Spoiler: that didn't help at all.
72 -Last term, I started taking a 15-minute walk before studying. At first it felt strange — who takes a walk when you have a million things to do? But guess what? It actually works. Fresh air, moving my legs, seeing the sky... suddenly my brain feels awake again. I concentrate better and finish homework faster. Plus, it's a great way to calm down when everything feels too much.
73 -So next time you feel stuck, try going outside. No phone, no music - just a walk. Do you already have a routine that helps you relax? Share it with us!
