Graduates, looking back to your crazy high school days, what is some advice you had wished you knew before becoming a freshman?

Advice: Relax; no one cares. Learning material isn't as important as learning the process of learning.

Verbally belittle your enemies before resorting to violence.

1. GPA counts.

2. Develop good study habits. Learn how to do more than stare at a page of notes the night before the test. Writing lists of terms and defining them makes most tests easy.

3. Do your homework right away. Get into a habit that will save you in college.

4. Do stuff outside of core classes. Join the choir, do community service, take a painting class, learn an extra foreign language, etc.

5. Take APs. Lots of them. Especially English, math, foreign language, psychology, and science.

6. Turn anything that you can into a creative project. Write a story for a term paper. Write a script and make a movie.

TIME PARADOX?

For me this would be a warp to the future.

Honestly, I think I lived my high school experience exactly the way I wanted to.

My only advice is, try not to be late to school. In my case, it warranted many unnecessary detentions.

If your high school has a dress code, don't break it. It's not worth it.

-Don't stress so much over homework or projects that you have to do. You may believe that the faster you finish, the more things you'll have to do anyway, but think about it in the long run: all your work will pay off in the form of even more free time than what you would've gotten by procrastinating.

-DO NOT CRAM. I cannot stress this enough. If your teacher is the type that will give constant reviews of past material at every other time, then all the more payoff there is in studying rather than cramming. Trust me in this.
