i finished the video and I have another tip: use AI properly - read through it and make sure it sounds like your own writing, but more than that, rewrite entire sections if it is inaccurate. just know how to write essays or whatever BEFORE using AI
@oglass and there is paraphrase ai things. My school says don't use AI we will use an ai checker but if you paraphrase using an ai tool it doesn't show up
@@hurcraftplaygames4903 yes I have used ai to get knowledge I now know that coconut ends in um. Please don't use ai to learn, a simple google search will be 10x better.
yea i use ai all of the time for my school work, but i don't just copy everything it says blindly, i just use it when i dont feel like researching and i just use it to help me understand the topic, i can then just rewrite it in my own words and it's done
Points in this video summarized: -Get a calendar -don't read the textbook -spam practice problems after learning from a RU-vid video -read the rubric for writing a paper -copy the view of your teacher when writing a paper -get your drivers license when you can -have one less serious friend -avoid short form content -limit social media usage by hiding the apps -your classmates can/will cheat -get to know administrators -get a calendar booking app
I got another tip, don’t do drugs. Im a rising junior in high school, and trust me, ts is bad. So much money down the drain that I could have spent elsewhere.
@@arjun-ys5xp sorry to hear that bro. I personally haven’t done any sort of drug, but I’ve seen the physical, mental, and financial burdens of those who have. I hope you can find a way to break free or that you already have.
@@johndolenc7658 thanks bro. Thankfully, I’m not too far gone since I haven’t ventured into any crazy hard shit. Just shit like nic, weed, dxm, and shrooms. But ye im slowly quitting everything.
@@alexkunce2002 yes there definitely are many amazing uses for drugs. Tbh, your viewpoint right now comes from a place of bias, and 99% of the shit that the media says about drugs is false. Some drugs like psychedelics can be very helpful every once in a while. However, certain drugs like some really hard opiates, certain benzos, and prolly meth too, should not be used recreationally imo

for the "get a goofball friend" tip, i would add onto it and get a friend of every type, and try to understand how they are personally and try to choose which qualities you would like to keep with yourself in the future
As a university undergrad senior about to complete his degree, here are a few tips for both high-schoolers and college students: 1. Don't skip studying. School exists to teach you how to learn and build connections. 2. Try things. If you focus on your future goals, you'll realize that knowing what you want is crucial for getting ahead. A lot of employers look for experience. A fancy degree can help, but building your skills is still a top priority. 3. Don't overwork or underwork. If you put in too much effort, you'll burn out and feel like you wasted your time and effort on things that didn't matter in the end. Conversely, putting in little effort results in you getting used to not having to try, which is bad for the times you do have to try. 4. Listen to other people. You can learn a lot from being open-minded and hearing other people's experiences. 5. Prioritize which kinds of trends to pay attention to. Are they relevant to you and your future career, or are they strictly just a social media thing? 6. Drop the ego/learn self-respect. A lot of teenagers think extremely about themselves one way or another. Comparing yourself to others isn't going to help you unless you're doing it only to learn. 7. Learn to be interested in things, even if they bore you. For example, a lot of students hate writing, but it's an important skill in almost every field, so learning to enjoy aspects of things you may not necessarily like at first is how you break out of and expand your comfort zone. 8. Be ready to have your preconceived ideas be obliterated. After high school, you're going to run into people from all walks of life, with different experiences and views. A lot of people learn respect in college because of this. At the same time, realize that it's ok to be different. Don't let social norms hold you down. 9. Be authentic. Trying to be different on purpose is a waste of time, and you're going to end up feeling like an imposter in your own life. The phrase "fake it 'til you make it" is good advice, but only if you intend to actually make it. 10. Discipline yourself. Setting rules for yourself, like sleeping at an appropriate time or remembering when to eat, is something that a lot of us lack until we get well into college. 11. Learn to extract value from things. It doesn't always have to be monetary value, but a lot of the skills or hobbies you may deem as useless or a waste of time can be turned into something healthy. If you can't justify doing it, drop it. It's ok to move on and do other things. Branch out. 12. AI is for cowards. Use it, but make sure you also don't need it. Fundamentals are key. 13. Learn to cook. You'll need this one. Trust me.
I read the first tip and already found one I can't abide by lol no, but seriously, I have school trauma from my previous school and idk how I'll get through high school. I won't get into it cuz I don't want this comment to be a vent sesh, but hey, maybe I just need a therapist at this point I hold a lot of resentment to most things school-related, school even made me hate reading books so much so that I never read books anymore
@@Infact77 For people with cases like you, it's often better to simply just know what is going to be covered in school and just teach it to yourself. The important thing isn't that you excel in school or even go to school - it's that you develop the ability to learn and communicate. However you learn these things is up to you. As for all things trauma-related, the best way to deal with trauma is to replace bad memories with good ones. It requires you to break out of your comfort zone, but that's the requirement for all improvement in general. You shouldn't touch an open wound, but once that wound is sealed, it becomes a scar. Eventually, scars can fade as long as you give them enough time and nourish yourself. Mental scars are the same. They might never go away entirely, but the severity of your reaction to thinking about them can decrease over time. We tend to think the most strongly about things that have recently happened or been on our mind. If you can't take your mind off of something bad, you'll have trouble healing from it because you're essentially touching the wound and not leaving it alone. If you don't know how to heal it, leave it be and let it heal itself. Don't let bad memories prevent you from doing the things you want. Your mental fortitude gets stronger when you are able to trust and believe that things are going to be alright. So the next time you pick up a book, do it for yourself, not for school. It's important to be aware of why you're doing things and for whom you're doing them.
Bro, this is the most helpful video I found for high school students I'm in my last year now with good grades, but sh*tty skills and technique. It kept my anxiety up each semester, and burnout was a prominent struggle. I'm tryna get a good start to build better habits and compete well without sacrificing my health and hobbies. Thanks for the great vid man!!!
I’m glad I could bring you some value and thank you for watching! Honestly I think it’s fine to take a break if youre feeling burnout. As in of course you can’t stop studying, but maybe a quick 2 week pause from any extracurriculars will help (with appropriate communication to all relevant parties)
My guy. I'm 16 rn, and starting to put my life together. This video is the SINGLE BEST video i've seen on this topic, so specific and actionable, absolutely love it! Please make more videos like this in the future, I subscribed because of this absolute gem, keep it up!!
Glad it helped! Honestly I was also insanely introverted when I started high-school, and it took YEARS for me to finally learn how to socialize with people. I would say just don't worry and try to get just a little better each day.
As an introverted person, some tips would be having close friends that will make you get out of your comfort zone and do things you may not have wanted to do before. Also, from my own experience I tend to be more out spoken when I'm with my friends. Also, to get closer to your teachers/administrators don't hesitate to just simply greet them with a "good morning/afternoon/hello/how are you doing?." It'll remind your teachers that you exist, and you will inevitably get to know/chat with them as the school year progresses. Don't make the same mistake as me where I barely spoke to my teachers at all in my freshmen year.
I cannot thank you enough, I’m starting my senior year in hs, and have come to some of these conclusions on my own but unfortunately I never write my thoughts down and just end up complaining about it later. That part you said about if you want to actually understand a subject your interested in you do that later was so real. These tests don’t test you on your understanding rather your ability to recognize the types of questions and familiarity with the narrow scope of topics that they test you on.
Turns out we are the same age, live in a very similar socioeconomic region of California, and have similar perspectives. The one thing I'd say is that the driver's license is super varied depending on location. In suburban California, trust me I know, you can't get anywhere without it, but I have plenty of online friends who didn't consider it being necessary until they were like 22 and out of college entirely. If you live somewhere more urban or in a country with more public transport, even working adults don't have one.
Thank you so much im going into grade 9 and im sick and tired of schools just being degrading grade games with dopamine fried fake friends I just want to live a happy life at this point
European transportation is very nice for sure. I would kill for an actual working subway or metro system in my city. Instead its all just cars. This tip is definitely only for American's.
@@HotslicerYeah I live in the Netherlands and literally everyone rides their bike to school. It's only a 5 min ride for me and if something is too far we just take the train (but you kinda never need to bc everything the Netherlands is just so close together )
Yes but I live in a Muricanized smaller city in europe car is better to have in certain situation, ecpecially in winter, if I bicycle there, the journey is painful though not daily, weekly? I though mainly use public transport because the distance I move daily and going there by car is unnececeary and causes bad rust problems overtime to older cars There is tho a far superior city near where most my age peers go, lotsa places to go to and will never fail to find stuff to do I would love to move there with my career
going into senior year this video is actually on the mark, especially with the drivers license and hanging out. Having fun means sooo much more than people think. If I had to pitch in another tip I'd say just straight up cheat even more than you advised. Ik this sounds really bad but honestly I was in some of those homework gc and (might of) seen allegedly many quiz/test early but it lowkey saved me. Not recommending anyone go this hard but just do it with the homework especially and just change up the answers or take turns with friends. Just a huge time saver and you can study for the actually important stuff. also study with your friends.
(3:07)"...they have to take smth as subjective as a literature or History paper and attach an objective grading scale to it..." This is the reason i love math and the sciences so much. 1+1 will always be two regardless of how the teacher is feeling that day😌
THIS is why I am studying engineering in college! I always greatly disliked humanities classes for this reason, you're absolutely right. I'm happy I won't have to deal with too much of this in the future.
In the same boat as you, just graduated and leaving for school in around a month. to add credibility to some of these points: I got to know a lot of my teachers, granted I went to a private school, and a lot of them were genuinely nice and bumped my grade up those few extra points needed. I never needed a calendar for my high school years, however I have quickly adopted one as it genuinely makes your day planning so much more efficient and effective, and reduces overlapping events. A strategy that worked for me with tests is to take note of all the hard problems as you go through the unit (this applies to more than just math, really any subject works) and create a study guide/practice test of those questions. After that test, if you still miss any of those concepts, just relearn them and you should be set for the actual test. On the topic of goofy friends, I will say they genuinely make the school experience much more fun. Being able to reliably hang out with someone who can just make anything and everything fun really helps keep things interesting. And there's nothing wrong with being the goofy friend either. To add to the 10 awesome points you gave, I will mention the drama side of high school: High school drama is worthless. Anything you hear or are a part of will literally not matter once you graduate. So, if there's anything that you think might haunt you for the rest of your life, or if there's just something that bothers you, it wont matter when high school is over. Lastly, if you aren't the enemy of everyone in your grade, try and have the most fun possible with them, especially in your senior year. This is the last year you will all be at the same place at the same time, and (at least to me) that's something you should make the most of. You might run into these people later in life, and it always help to have good relations with someone. Sorry for the wall of text, just thought I'd share my input adding on to the points made in the video :)
2:58 another thing abt notes is when taking notes don’t just write everything down draw a picture or write a couple summarizing words or make a graph your brain processes it a lot better i’m pretty sure there is a youtube video out there somewhere
Knowing school admins and getting to know your guidance councilor more personally is a major success moment for sure. I was able to switch out of classes with bad teachers, get a better overall schedule, and have had more success getting into the classes I want because I was friendly and knew the people in charge of those kinds of things.
There is some good advice in here. When it comes to getting to know admins, you might need charisma which some people are not blessed with, but it’s still good advice. The goofy friend advice was really good as well. I would argue that they actually do add very real value that sticks with you for life. It’s rare to have a goofy friend that also has a motivation and determination to do great things, but they exist. I know that for sure.
I highly stress the "get to know your administrators" tip. In fact, I recommend building and maintaining a good relationship with as many school officials and staff as possible, because you can singlehandedly put your school on the map by winning the biggest physics competition in your province for the first time ever, bring home several medals for badminton, top every single waterloo math/cs competition throughout your high school career, and even go to the International Chemistry Olympiad, the first participant from your district, let alone your school, and STILL lose valedictorian (which is elected by school staff in some places) to the student council president even though everyone knows she didn't do jack****, plays an irrelevant sport, and distracts literally everyone in every single stem class by asking the most basic, worthless, trivial questions possible every 2 minutes, just because her family's cozy with the school board.
i watched some of ur other vids and i think this style of commentary life content is really in demand ive seen youtubers like flowstate really blow up with minecraft gameplay in the background just random stuff. i really like your perspective and ideas and would def be interested in seeing more of this content
College Student here, I actually wish someone would have told me these things. I got over a 4.0 GPA but I was never involved in any clubs or administration. I was in it for the grades only, but now that I’m rethinking it getting to know the admin would have been beneficial. Don’t matter if your a freshman or senior it’s never too late to change. ONE MORE THING! Learn REAL TANGIBLE SKILLS. You literally will not get more free time unless you find an oil field and get rich. Learn things that you can apply to many branches of life. This is something I wish I would have done sooner
Great to hear these were applicable to you, thank you for watching! Also you're absolutely right, I think one of the best things we can do to improve our circumstance is learning high-demand tangible skills.
I watched this in August and when school started I made a calendar. It kinda changed my life, I am now 10x more organised, best decision, thank you so much :) P. S. Also, I started watching RU-vid videos about subjects now, and it has helped me very much, so that's very valuable too
This is all useful advice, but a few notes: some schools rely much more heavily on the textbook verbatim, it gets less reliant as you go further but my experience in 9th grade was that many of the "advanced" classes asked for stuff from the specific textbook and youtube wasn't that reliable as it has more general knowledge. I agree that if there is a class in which you are doing really poorly in then you should cheat, but do it well, don't get caught, if a teacher is suspicious then don't cheat, you can recover from one bad test grade, though it is a slippery slope, don't cheat in ALL your classes, maybe just one.
I love this video, and I was slightly concerned when I heard you start talking about cheating, but I'm glad you brought it back by not actually showing the method.
The only thing im proud of now is that I use a youtube mod which turns of yt shorts and instagram mod that doesnt have reels and story , its only for chatting. Been doing this for 6 months now and tbh I can feel the different of not scrolling brainrot after school.
Yes I also use that extension! Sooo helpful, because I think shorts are the main addictive thing with RU-vid, not really longform. Most longforms I watch are either genuinely really entertaining or educational
This video was awesome. I have been trying to get off my phone and spend less time on it, but it was really hard to do so I will try these things. Thanks
That calendar one is actually really nice. I did a similar thing on my most recent SAT, using the programs section to comment in a bunch of notes. My score improved by 110 points. And the best part? It doesn’t technically violate any of the official SAT rules. What I did, according to college board, is NOT cheating. Its a clever utilization of the resources they give you. They say the TI-84 is approved on the math section, and they never give you any specifics on what parts of the TI-84 are approved and which ones arent. The entire functionality of the device is available to you, so use it.
Yo deadass starting highschool soon and all other videos were just copy and pasted same tips. (I.E: Study alot, join clubs, make the teachers your friends) but this video had some real tips that I will def use. Thanks alot, you might have just changed my whole life for the better.
As a senior in college, everything he said is incredibly useful and I wish I had seen something like this before high school. Making a calendar and talking to administrators seems overkill but trust its great advice and if you follow this video you will go FAR.
I’m going into my senior year, and I can 100% that calendars are really useful. I’m in a lot of stuff and it is CRUCIAL to understand time management if you don’t want to flounder
Here’s a very valuable one: avoid anything addicting. Smoking, Porn, Drugs, just don’t. If you’re gonna do anything at a party make sure it’s weed or edibles. Nothing else.
pro tip: at the start of school years if you wanna get to know more people give yourself a sidequest to introduce yourself to all the people in your classes. also being able to say that that's what you're trying to do when walking up to someone gives you an easy default thing to say and a way to start the conversation without being too awkward
Thank you :D I am going to go to highschool in a few days, and I'm worried I'll get burned out, fall behind, or get distracted too much. But it's ok I'll do my best so thank you making the video because it did help me to think about what direction I should be taking in highschool
Class of 2023 here. Id add another tip about getting into relationships. I've seen a lot of relationships around me come and go. Some of which me and my friends thought would last forever but we were wrong. Its highly likely that you will break up so Its not worth it imo, especially if you have a lot going on. I get that people want to get experience which is totally okay. Just dont let it become a distraction. Relationships are supposed to be an addition, not take way. If you have a large friend group, best case scenario is that you learn from the relationships happening around you and wait till college or after. The dating landscape is the worst its ever been now that social media is such a big thing but whichever way you go, please be safe 🙏🏿
That's excellent advice and I can vouch. 95% of people I know who dated came out of it with regret. I think you need to build yourself and become really confident in your own skin during high school, then think about dating.
This is a legendary video, last person I expected to save my high school experience was a minecraft youtuber i've been subscribed to for a long time. Thanks Hotslicer, this video is amazing! Keep up the good work!
As a second year college student I still found a lot of this useful (I’m debating stealing it idea and putting it In college format.) thanks all around great video w hotslicer
glad to hear that! thanks for watching and you can definitely put it in college format. One favor though, send me the link when the video is done. I'm going to college now so having tips from a 2nd year student would be super helpful :)
I came in expecting to get garbage advice and leave a snarky comment, but boy was i wrong. Almost everything you mentioned was something I shoukd have done in high school. With the exception of the gray-line goofball friend and the driver's license, I genuinely appreciate what you put together here. Scheduling your activities especially makes your life so much better
doing what I can for the algorithm since this video came at the perfect time in my life. about 75% of the points don't apply to me because I take online classes, but it's still extremely important, and I can show it to my niece and nephew when they start high school as well.
You're actually so goated, did so many of these in HS even though i still have a year left and it made it so much easier. Completely agree with all of these
Tip #2 is basically pqrst. The most important parts of pqrst are summarizing (which is why RU-vid is your friend) and testing (self testing is one of the best test prep methods). Good stuff here
Currently heading into my second year of high school and this video is an absolute rare gem. I've previously had a friend group that mainly consisted of Serious diligent students and let's just say that I wasn't really able to relax from the stress either.
Tip: If your town or city has a good public transit system, you can use that instead of the car. Example: Vancouver, Canada's TransLink. Buses to EVERYWHERE. If you can get to an event with public transit, get there using it. Better than finding a parking space for 15 minutes.
loads of these videos have been very over the top or just straight up unnecessary. This one was perfect, and most if not all of these tips, are something i will take to heart.
Never seen this channel before but as a sophomore I find this video genuinely helpful and interesting. I’m definitely gonna try these tips and I’ve just downloaded opal to try it out. Thx man, keep up the great work!
i think having ur friends book time with u sounds a lil crazy since if i ever ask them to do that they would all be like "this fancy pants mcscrooge over here wants us to book a time to hang out" but all ur other points r really helpful. i'm an incoming junior and this is the second vid ive seen from u, thanks!!!
I'm long gone from High School at this point, but these are pretty much all just general life lessons, and that's what High School is all about, really. All these broad ideas of organization, composure and discipline, gaming the system, and especially building relationships with the people around you are still all euphamisms for the adult life. If you don't nail those things in your adolescence while your brain is developing and make good habits out of day-to-day life, you will either have a tough time learning them or just rot in adulthood as a neurotic wageslave, regardless of your success. There's three things that I've learned in my spots of adulthood thus far and wish I applied much earlier: Most things if not everything should be done with purpose instead of simply trying to pass or "enjoy" your time or you will live with regrets. I'm not even old and I live with many regrets about how I've treated myself and even still how I treat myself currently, but I've wisened enough to seize the moment for what it is and move on when I'm over it. It can be that moment, an hour or two, or even sleep on it overnight at which point I cannot keep grabbing onto what's already happened, whether or not it was in my control. But you need to learn how to do things with an end goal in mind, and learn how to move on from a negative experience and not hang onto it. If you have no idea what "purpose" you exist for: People. Not to work for people, but to work *with* people. People will guide you to your "purpose" or where you "need" to go, whether they know it or not. Friends, acqaintances, superiors, family, random internet strangers with a shared hobby, you name it. Just like in the video, the people you associate with will mold you and you will find your niche and what you want or need to do. It will take a long time, you just need to keep doing something with people you not only can tolerate, but enjoy the presence of. When you feel good about the people you're around, you will feel good about trying new or different things and will be more open to having more critical thoughts about what sparks that feeling of purpose in you. You'll feel good asking questions and sharing knowledge. Humanity's greatest tool, collaboration, is taken greatly for granted nowadays and it is imperative that all people learn to do so for the betterment of life at all scales. And never stop learning, don't let that momentum go. A picture is worth a thousand words, but memorabilia is everything. Take pictures and videos, do recordings, do dumb drawings and projects with people, make keepsakes for the occasions. Get a film camera for the love of all things holy, even a shitty one. Make everything have some physical connection, just one object. Digital/cloud saved data does not have the same impact as holding a developed film, a wrist band from a concert, a seashell from the time you went to the coast, any of it. Even the bad things, they make for great reflection pieces in the future when you've grown and matured past that point and give you that much more confidence when you realize you may just be able to handle that situation even better now should it happen again and that you're prepared. Just my two cents from somebody with regrets about how they've gone into adulthood from their admittedly mediocre, boring time in high school. Another one - please PLEASE do not stress about or rush romantic/sexual relationships. Unless you really need a kid because you're slated to die soon and don't want the bloodline to end (that's what the sperm bank is for so still), take things slow. It's important to build a relationship just like you may have with friends. These are bonds created over years of expectations, trust, and compromise built by both parties. If you haven't lived with somebody at minimum a year or two, do not let them talk you into marriage and/or a kid. You need to learn their habits, lifestyle, how they present at home and how they treat you in stressful situations before tying yourself down like that. "The One" will wait, if they are "the One," they will have patience for you just as you would for them.
Been dropped out for almost 2 years now, trying to come back each year. This time im going to a different school and im going to implement some of these (i already was doing some of the other stuff) into my day to day. I peeped game, its time to lock in
the one about school administrators can apply for teachers as well because even though they don't have as much power they can still vouch for you if you get in trouble and can reduce your punishment at least 2 fold. Also help your teachers if you have time because when i helped organize a quiz type event with my literature teacher and some friends after that he would give us keys to classrooms or any space in the school and would sometimes even vouch for us for some of our grades in other classes which boosted our grades by at least 5% (it's worth knowing anyone)
As a former HS student, this info is fairly accurate. The TI-84 +CE tool is honestly super useful, and even just typing out some formulae or notes can help with memory retention. I HIGHLY recommend learning to use your calculator, as using it is usually more efficient than your brain, and knowing the layout will save you for the last-minute questions. There are newer, better calculators, however I still believe it is relevant as it is the most common calculator found in HS calc caddies and the SAT. In HS I started a club just by asking teachers if they were interested, w/o going to admins directly. This can definitely help you as you can also choose an adult that also has an interest in what you are doing. While I definitely didn't make the most of this opportunity, it still was something I could put on college apps. Try to learn driving ASAP on a manual transmission car. While a bit harder starting off, manual: 1. Gives you more control 2. Makes you feel the car better, making you a better driver, and 3. Paired w/ knowledge of Automatics, can let you drive basically any vehicle that doesn't need special licenses. A car is literally what gets you to places, and unlike most stuff taught at school, is something that will be used in real life Def do practice problems instead of memorizing the textbook. I got a 5 on the BC exam through self-study by only clutching up the week before (and setting up my TI-84). Granted, I already took AB a year ago (got a 3), but you can't expect to understand concepts w/o going through the process. Speedbridging isn't learnt by watching a guy do it for 20 hrs, it's learnt at the practice server.
Thank you, this motivated me to stop wasting my time lol, didn’t know it was as simple as some random guy on the internet getting straight to the point on how to not waste time.
The bit about literature and history is true. If you can find the side they support of an argument they will give you anything you need, and usually wont realise
The problem with my school is that for some reason, english is often based on a objective system, which annoys me with stuff that is definitely subjective
This is the best video I have viewed on youtube to date, no brainrot, only pure facts that will change my highschool life, I have stopped scrolling youtube shorts because of you, which is an addiction I have had for years now, so, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Most of these are good tips for young people in general, high school or not. Taking more control over your days and managing your time better is something young people haven't learned because school has wrote their schedule up to that point.
Another tip is to try a sport when going into your freshman year most of the players are gonna be trash so don’t worry about falling behind and also make sure you like the sport and enjoy playing it cus that’s all that matters at the end of the day
Thank you for the get to know your administrators advice! Last year I was spending HOURS trying to get an MUN club going, I even got two teachers intrested, but the school didnt make it official, until one of my firiends became intrested (he apprerently knew the vice principle really well) and got it set up almost immediately. The vice principal would check in on our achievements every now and then, and was very pleased with everything I was doing. fast forward to now, the principle left or retired or something idk and he became the new principle. This year I will be taking advantage of that unlike last year thanks to this video.
I have some sketchy advice. I had a friend for every single class that I would trade cheap junk food for homework. Math I would give him a cookie. English id throw him a caprisun. History my juice boxes. Spent about 50$ whole school year for little to no busy work and just projects and essays. (they cant do those for me). It is 100% worth it imo. You can always get back money but you cant get back time. Also I inadvertently became friends and respected by these people because I seemed like a saving grace for throwing them a walmart cookie and whatnot.
dudeeee i so agree with ur points as a girl who just started her junior year a week ago. guys, note that if youre not able to form a relationship with school admin, definitely form relationships with your teachers. i had an extremely strict teacher with a soft spot for me and she would correct my test answers before i officially submitted them, looked the other way when i used my apple watch and airpods in class (electronics are prohibited at my school), and vouched for me during awards season. on the other hand, i also had a cool teacher who loved mostly everyone but i still did my best to form my own bond with him. he also ended up vouching for me during awards season, got one of his students to tutor me, and allowed me to skip my math class to stay in his room. being a teacher's pet can actually have really good benefits. be one!!!! ++ dont overwork yourself. do the minimum work to get an A on a paper and leave it. it's just homework, not anything special or needing to perfected. ++ most people you'll never see after high school again. if someone's talking shit or including you in drama, it won't matter in a couple years. you're going to be alright.
