Do you have any advice for upcoming high school students? July 01 2015
Definitely, Dear all people making this transition,
Here’s a few things I’ve learned from high school :
1. Your friends right now, will change throughout high school. You’re going to stray away and loose some people you thought were forever friends. You’re also going to meet some awesome people and maybe get close to some unexpected people. And that is okay.
2. If you’re a girl, I can guarantee there will always be drama, I tend to avoid that and stay neutral
3. It is very important to maintain good grades, but don’t kill yourself for failing a test. It is okay to take some time for yourself and relax, whether alone or with friends
4. Having a boyfriend/girlfriend is not the end of the world, you’re still so young
5. Finally, do NOT be afraid to take risks. I can’t tell you how many times I regret not doing something simply because I was afraid I wouldn’t know anyone or the possibility of failure.
You’re going to fail a lot in your life, but that doesn’t make you a bad person, it makes you human.
You’re also going to have quite a few success, don’t let other people take the happiness you get from your successes by undermining yours
Most importantly, please stay true to yourself. It’s okay to be curious, but don’t let anyone shove you out of your comfort zone for anything. I believe in you
