Well, for most people, high school is a total shock. I know a girl who went from being valedictorian of ms to failing out of my highschool. Not to scare you, but most ms’ are a JOKE. Really. So just be ready to work, and not completely whine and moan about the two pages of math hw. Most people settle down into the groove, but in soph year, and they’ve already blown two years of honors. You WILL drop extracurriculars-if you’re in a billion. You can really only have 3-4 MAIN ones, maybe a few little ones. You can’t do Speech and Debate, Student Council, Dance Comp, Band, Varsity Track, Swimming, and the Play. (Maybe if you VERY strategically placed all of it around each other, but still…why?!). Don’t go OCD on doing 1000000 clubs-it’s REALLY a lot more important to be in one of substance than a stupid, obviously name-only club.
