How Can I Pretend I Go To A Strict Boarding School? Please Answer Xx?
67 Answers
Hi :) So I'm a 14 year old girl and I need some structure in my life to help motivate me to study as at the moment I have absolutely no structure and so I'm procrastinating a lot. I have been thinking about making my room look like a strict boarding school dorm for some time so I can pretend that I go to a strict boarding school and set myself "homework," each day to complete but I have some logistics questions to ask anyone who will help me...
*oh and please don't laugh because it might sound strange- which it probably is- but I think this would really benefit me as I have a good imagination which I still haven't lost even though I'm 14 and supposed to be grown up, thanks xx*
Anyway here are my questions and I know there are a lot so please just answer what you can but I would be especially grateful to anyone who can answer all of them...
#1~ What can I do to make my room look like a strict boarding school dormitory- as in one from the 1940's (UK) if you know what I mean? I already have plain white fitted sheets with a plain white (except for some flowers) duvet and my room is quite small so there's not much space.... I have a bunkbed and sleep on the bottom so what should I do with the top bunk? Also because my room is very small and only has a bunk bed and a desk and only a small space from the door to the end of the room to get to the desk and bunk bed I keep most of my stuff under the bed so what stuff should I put on the desk? -sorry a lot of questions I know-
#2~ What should I eat? So I was thinking if it's a strict boarding school and I live there then obviously i would eat there and I was wondering what sort of stuff I should eat, I already have a couple of ideas but I need some more if anyone has any:
Breakfast- Porridge oats, Weatabix, breakfast Biscuits, fruit, (anymore ideas?)
and milk/ water to drink
Lunch- sandwiches, soup
and water/ squash to drink
Snack- biscuit, cake, fruit, nuts, raisins,
and squash or water to drink
Dinner- whatever my family cooks
#3~This is my main question and I'm not joking when I say I would be super grateful to anyone who answers this well as I would be so gratefull xx
Basically I need help to design a daily schedule I can stick to so here are some things you need to know if you are going to make one for me (please do Xx)
*I get up at 5am
*I need to leave to catch the bus to my school (real school) at 8am
*I get home from real school at 4pm
dinner with my family is at 6:30pm-6:45pm
*My shower time is at 6:45pm-7:pm
*I go to bed at 10pm
other than that feel free to add what you want in- I would want it to look like a school timetable with STUDY periods and PREP (homework) periods, don't bother with lesson names just write study/ prep etc.
If I like your timetable then I will definitely use it and I will add a detail onto this post so you know that I have used it Xx
Thank you so much to anyone who can help me

Write yourself a timetable for the week and stick to it - that's all you need to do. 5am is much too early to get up. When I was at boarding school in the 60s, we got up at 7 a.m. - no call to do school work before you go to real school. Two hours study a night is quite enough at your age. When will you find time to spend with your family?

Ducky my luuurve - you are clearly trying to cut corners
so go for the skool in Jane Eyre - its only Chap 1. and based on fact -
Dr Carus Wilson's academy I think
also Ducky - you type at the speed of light - I note you joined AB at 6 59
and hey presto you posted a long post at 7:01 - and dont worry D - I am sure you will grow up into an adult soon ....
