Hello everyone! Welcome back for another blog post. This week I am going to be writing about the not so fun part of high school: the actual school part.
With the gazillion other things that are going on in your life during high school, the last thing anyone wants to do is write a five-page essay or learn a language they have no desire to learn. Like for real, I will never understand why we have to learn half the things we do during these 4 years.
And although most of us find our assignments useless, we still find ourselves stressing over a bad grade and staying up till 2 AM memorizing study guides.
I am here to tell you a secret. That math test you're stressing about will not determine if you get into a college or not. That book report you did bad on is not the end of the world. Don't get me wrong, school is so important, but you should not let it ruin your day or mess up your sleep pattern. At the end of the day, it is just high school. You are so much more than a letter on top of a piece of paper. Do not get worked up over a test. Just think how excited you will be once it is over with.
My favorite part of being a senior is realizing things like this. I will now choose the extra hour of sleep over the few points. Put in the work, but remember to take time for yourself. Honestly, just be proud of yourself for doing the assignments and attempting to study.
I know a bad grade is tough, especially when you thought you deserved better. If it makes you feel any better, I don't remember a single assignement from my freshman year... heck I don't even remember assignments from last year. Take the sting and move on. Maybe even laugh about it, that's what I do. But always remember... life goes on!
Before you know it youll be a senior and hopefully already committed to a college. Thats where I'm at. I finally enjoy going to school knowing my future is already set. You will ger there too!
Schoolwork is definitely something that I have stressed about over the course of highschool. Grades are very important when it comes to your future, but that doesn't mean you can enjoy yourself a little bit while you're in school. No one assignment or test will determine your overall success and I think a lot of people forget that.
I was someone who really never cared if they got a bad grade on a test as I knew there were other opportunities to improve my grade. I also learned that failure is a part of life and it is really how you decide to move forward that matters. I think this is a great post for people who are going into highschool or are just starting out. Overall great post
I loved reading this post! Quizzes and tests really are looked at as a big part of high school and stressed about, but it is true that it doesn’t determine the rest of your life! As a student, it was very helpful to read this and know others feel this way about tests and quizzes too, and that we need to learn to not worry about them as much. I also loved the personal picture you added to the post as well! Overall this was a very well written blog!
I really loved how you wrote this blog. It was awesome how you added a snapchat showing the reality of high school and especially coming to terms that sometimes you have to joke around and realize that there are more important things than missing a few points on a test or quiz. I really like how you wrote this because it feels like it is personal and like you're having a conversation with the reader. I think that giving advice to people, especially freshmen, in high school is important because some people don't understand that sometimes you just have to accept a fail and move on. I like how you included things that people can agree with like how you…
