Although High School plays a fundamental role in our lives, we must remember that High School is only four years long. If things go wrong, you must not feel like it is the end of everything. It is very important to always remember that everything that does happen in high school is temporary and that you won’t remember any of that once you’re in college.
2. People are not there to satisfy you
Everyone in high school is so busy with their own life that they will barely find time to help you shape yours. People are not there to satisfy you. It is absolutely illogical to have unrealistic expectations. You must not entirely be dependent on other people for anything.
3. It is not okay to skip classes
You must not forget that your parents are paying thousand of dollars for your education. The least you can do for them is to attend all your classes. If you decide to skip a class, you can end up in a situation where you’ll have to stay back after school for detention or you may even miss a test. It is not okay to skip classes because everything that is being discussed inside that classroom is important and you can never get straight A’s using only sparknotes.
4. Do not get caught up in relationships
In high school, you meet a lot of people and build all kinds of relationships with them. Socializing is important but you must also remember that you can’t focus entirely on people. This applies to all kinds of relationships, like dating or having best friends. You will face problems and so does everyone else but do not get caught up in relationships because that is only going to distract you from your actual goals.
5. Everything that you do in High School matters
After four years of high school, you will be going to a university for your further education. What is important for you to remember is that you are being watched from the very first day to your last. You may feel like your freshman year is unimportant but that is not true. When you do apply to universities, your transcripts will be sent to the universities which include everything you’ve done from your freshman year to your senior year. Therefore, it is very important to keep in mind that everything that you do in high school matters and it is going to affect your college application.
6. Back to school shopping is a scam
Everyone goes back to school shopping. Students buy all sorts of new pens and notebooks hoping that it would help them get straight A’s at school. The truth is that school supplies with not improve your grades, studying will. Back to school shopping is a scam because stores put up all the beautiful new school supplies on the shelves and after four years of high school you end up with 50 empty compass boxes and bad grades.
7. The key is to avoid procrastination as much as possible
It is absolutely normal to come home from school not wanting to finish your homework. But, you do not want to wait until last minute to finish a 10 page paper. If you wait until the last minute to finish your homework, you will not be able to ask for your teacher’s guidance before turning it in. The key is to avoid procrastination as much as you can because that too can become a habit and you’ll end up delaying everything.
