My Own Tips For School -Get a cheap notebook/planner and use it to organize yourself. Make lists of tasks, things to remember, etc. Seriously, i started doing this towards the end of junior year and it helped me so much.-LISTEN TO THE TEACHER WHEN THEY EXPLAIN ASSIGNMENTS. And write important things down. No, you won’t remember it later.-Ask for help. Most if not all teachers will be more than willing to give you assistance.-Take advantage of your school’s resources. Seriously. They’re there for a reason.-Do your best to get decent amounts of sleep- like, if you are done with all your schoolwork, go to bed before 4am instead of staying up watching tv shows. -If you can’t get enough sleep, bring coffee or tea to school. No one will judge you, i promise, and its better than falling asleep throughout the day.-YOU GOT THIS. GO FORTH AND CONQUER!!! -- source link
