do not date at all (and if you do, don’t let the person you date pull you away from academics & your interest) , focus on your studies, and its okay to get burnt out at times as long as you don’t fall too far behind , bring your own lunch if you can the amount of school i missed from food poisoning is crazy (also little snacks like little bags of chips are good throughout the day if you get hungry) , don’t try to make your notes ‘aesthetic’ just write them in the way you’ll study them best , do not wait until the night before a test to study break it up throughout the week , friends will probably leave you or get into drama whatever you do DO NOT let them drag you into you. start volunteering now (i did animal shelters & libraries) and start thinking about what you want to do in college (you don’t need to do much besides looking at colleges & get your application ready but junior year is when you’d actually have to lock in but its always good to have a head start)
last bit of advice –
it is okay if you have to do things alone, its not embarrassing. protect your peace at all times. i hope your sophomore year turns out a lot better than mine !!
