Day in My Life as a Homeschooled Teen

Hi everyone!

This week I wanted to post something about homeschooling, and so I thought I could do a day in my life as a homeschooler. Also, prepare yourself for a long post because when I start talking about homeschooling, I'll never stop, haha.
I always love watching homeschool routines and see how relaxed every homeschooler is. My day as a homeschooler is super relaxed; the last time I stressed about something was 3 years ago (when I was still in school). 

My 24 hours as a homeschooler <3

My morning routine

This first thing I do before school is my morning routine. I have a post on that, so if you want to see how I start my day, here you go ~ My Morning Routine

Write what work I need to do in planner

this is how my planner looks almost everyday.
i also like to make a to-do list !

I love having a planner and writing down what work I need to do for the day, because that way I feel more organized. Sometimes I write what I have to do the day before and sometimes I do it in the middle of school but now I like to write it down before school.

Start with school ~ Math

First up ~ Math. In school Math was one of my worst subjects and I constantly got low grades, until my mom decided to help me study and we sat that whole afternoon studying for the upcoming Math test. I wrote the test the next day and within a week I got my results back; my results went from 50% to 70%! 
That's also part of the reason why I started homeschooling. Ever since I started homeschooling, my Math has improved so much!

Second subject ~ English

After I did about an hour of Math I like to do English. For English I type my posts for my blog. Typing my blog posts is a great way to improve my English + how I type.

Next up ~ History

I just finished doing a project/essay on World War I and right now I'm busy doing World War II. I enjoy History a lot these days :)

Chemistry (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays)

I thought, how am I going to study Chemistry with all the elements, protons, neutrons, electrons and the periodic table (how am I going to study that?!). But once I got the hang of it, it's easy and understandable. 
One of my friends couldn't believe I started Chemistry last year, when they only started learning it this year, haha.
Also, I do Chemistry only Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays otherwise I'll have 9 subjects to do everyday (I'll explain a bit more in a while).

Civics + Government (Tuesdays and Thursdays)

For civics and government I do the different types of government and the history of the US government, like, The Declaration of Independence. And like all my other subjects, I love learning the history of America's government.
This subject I do every Tuesday and Thursday so I don't have too much work to do everyday and stress myself out. That's why I do Chemistry and civics + government on different days.

Next up ~ Geography

Now, it's time for geography. I never used to like Geography in school because they kept focusing on one country but since I started homeschooling I learned what I wanted to and did a bunch of geography quizzes on where every country is in the world. 
Now, I know much more than I ever could in school and I know where almost every country is in the world, and I'm so proud of myself! :)

Eighth subject ~ Economics

Oh my gosh! I can't even begin on how much I hated Economics when I started homeschooling. But, you guessed it, now I kind of love it, haha. 
I started learning The Great Depression about a few days ago and I am currently doing an essay about it.

Natural Science (NS)

For NS I am doing Astronomy! I've always found the galaxy so fascinating and I love learning more about it. It's mind blowing how amazing it is so I love learning Astronomy.
I actually did a solar system project 2-3 years ago when I did an essay on the solar system. 

we didn't have  enough balls to paint so we had to use a ping-pong ball and make one out of paper-mache, haha, but it was totally worth it !

Last subject ~ Biology

I love learning Biology. Some days I consider becoming a doctor but my dream for cooking is what I want to do. About a week ago, I finished my essay on anorexia and I'm currently busy with bulimia because both of these eating disorders are so interesting to me and I love learning more about them. 
This is the thing with homeschooling - I would've never learned this in school and I would've probably learned something I don't like.

this is the folder i put all my work in. i have a plastic file for each subject with the name written on the top right corner, and i have an inspirational quote to keep me going.

My experience with homeschooling has been the best and I'm not going to lie ~ it's so much better than school. I do miss my friends and teacher so much ! but homeschooling has taught me how I can be on my own and keep myself busy when I'm bored when some people can't. 

It also taught me how do be more independent and I can't wait to start my cooking career. Homeschooling is the best ever and when I was school, I used to bite my nails because of stress but now my nails are long and I'm not ashamed of them anymore.

The most important thing homeschooling has taught me is ~ self love <3. I've learned that I'm perfect just the way I am and I love myself more than ever I did. 
I also believed that I was dumb in school because of my low grades and that all the "popular" children were getting high academic marks and awards. That's why I never loved myself but now I know that I'm not dumb; I'm smart, and I should never doubt myself.

Note: You are perfect, just the way you are! <3

Bye xx
