As you could probably tell from the title, these tips will be following a new format. Today was my first day of senior year, and I have decided to give a bit of advice from every day of school this year.
What did I learn today?
1. Be comfortable. You have 3 years of high school under your belt. If you remain calm, relaxed, but focused, you will push your way through this year!
2. Manage time. Do your homework immediately. Do not even look at your phone until you have completed everything you want to. IF you're like me, you'll be surprised that even after a lot of work, you still have time left. Time management is a skill you will really need to master this year.
3. Be wise in picking classes. Yes, take all honors. But do not take an AP that might sabotage your GPA. It is better to be confident in your ability to do well in an AP class than to take one that you think will appear more "challenging". A straight-A record should not be tainted for the sake of a "challenge".
4. They're right! This year goes by quickly! Even this day went by quickly. Enjoy it-you do not want to regret not being in the moment!
Best of luck to you on your first day!
