    iris: lemme give y’all some tips
    tip #1: talk to your teachers
    me as an introvert: *dying inside*

    • @irisfu6929
      @irisfu6929  Před 4 lety +15

      SAME honestly I was literally so scared of my teachers and I wish someone would’ve forced me to talk with them earlier on in HS. I found that after u talk with them a few times it gets less and less scary every time and eventually you get more used to it :)

  • @bellathebutterfly8100
    @bellathebutterfly8100 Před 3 lety +27

    (Hehe to save you time)
    1. Talk to your teachers
    2. Develop a self-focused attitude, disregarding other students or their opinions of you
    3. Lunch Time- always keep track of time & utilize the time to dedicate it to academics; basically spend it to study and hang with friends
    Also: Let go of superficial friends
    4. Focus on tests and even if you might not be prepared, pay attention and get through it. (Basically do you best and reflect on it after)
    5. Don't be afraid to quit sports or clubs/activities you are unsatisfied doing
    6. Keep a journal & planner to reflect in
    7. To prevent any distraction, put your phone away & turn it off or on airplane mode (helps stop procrastination
    8. Stop wearing about what you wear, NOBODY CARES, school is priority
    9. Have a consistent & nutritional/healthy breakfast
    10. Don't compare yourself to others!!!!

    My dad told me to talk to teachers too at the beginning of the school year. He also made me write a thank you note via email on at least one thing they helped me improved during the year after finals. I've noticed the teachers are more willing to help me and cut me more slack then some of my classmates and friends. I had a research log due, 20+ pages, one teacher reviewed my paper made some helpful recommendations. Another kid in the same class asked her also, she told him "read the rubric everything is there." Letting them know what you want to accomplish, makes it so they help you find ways to get there. You're right on when with that. I do the library thing at school, but since I come from a charter school, there are only a few of us that know each other. Now with Soccer, I have a few more friends, so I'm going to try to work on my friendship at lunch too. Maybe they'll study in the library with me :). Great advice on everything, thanks.

    • @irisfu6929
      @irisfu6929  Před 4 lety +9

      So true with the teacher thing! After all, they're human and would develop feelings for students they like and dislike. With the lunches, that's a great idea. Usually, I study with people who are in my same "hard" classes -- like BC Calc and AP Chem, bc they tend to be the most motivated. We might not hang out outside of school, but since they're motivated, they're still great study buddies. Good luck! 👍

      Remember that you are your own person! You have your individual passions and goals! Comparing yourself will not only make you unhappy, but will make you think you are not good enough, when you are! Try your best. Do your best, trust that you are enough, that you are smart, capable, and you can do whatever you put your mind too! Your peers are there own person, and you are different. What you guys do will not be the same! And try not to think that. "Ok, they will get whatever they want because they have better grades, better extracurriculars, more awards." Tell yourself that you should trust what you do and that you have your own achievements and goals. You're amazing the way you are! ❤️ P.S Sorry for the run on sentence!

      I had a few toxic friendships and they are really hard to leave because they make you feel lije a monster for doing so, but now that I've cut them out as kindly and not angrily as I can i feel a lot better. Even if you feel like it's too hard to make new friends its a LOT harder with people weighing you down. Just be you and be free even if you feel lonely or regretful at times. Let yourself blossom, as the only person who is in control of that is you.

      Hey! colleges don't see your middle school transcript, and you can only list extracurriculars from 9th grade onward. Therefore, don't worry about middle school. Think of it more as a starting ground. Middle school is a great time to get a jumpstart (for me, I took extra maths in middle school lol and that helped me get more APs in high school). You got this, don't stress too much, and just do your best and don't worry about the rest!
