English IV
Your whole life all you hear about is how scary high school is, and how you won’t survive. You hear about all the scary seniors who will harass you and make your freshman year horrible. My first day of freshman year I was terrible, but as the year went on it got easier. I had a mentor that thought me how I could survive high school stress free and always be happy. This is my fourth year of high school. I have all the skills and advice you will need to survive your next four years of high school. First rule of surviving high school, never do your work early. Always wait till the last minute. Procrastination will be your best friend throughout these next few years. Why wait till the last minute? Procrastination drives you as a student to succeed. You will have more motivation to finish your assignment that was assigned weeks ago. You will become overflowed with excitement and joy when doing your assignment. Also, become 100% more focused on the task at hand. Second rule of surviving high school, sleep in school. You will be trying to balance school work, video games, recreation, sleep, and a social life. Since recreation is an after school activity, and a social life is also outside of school, school work and sleep must be done in school. Therefore, it only makes sense to do homework and sleep in school to make time for the more important after school activities. Third rule of surviving high school, study at the last minute. Your teachers will tell you to start studying a good week before a big test, but they are wrong. Why waste all your time studying when you will forget it when you get the test? So, if you want to get higher scores on test study the night before. Even better study all of it just before a test. The information will be fresh in your memory and you will remember it all and you will get much higher scores. Fourth rule of surviving high school, you must know how to multitask.
