The problem I’ve noticed many people have in high school is that they try to balance out two completely separate lives and eventually bomb out in college. Honestly, just let go and simply be yourself. I cannot put anymore emphasis on that point as it was probably the biggest problem a lot of people I know went through.

Take for example this girl I knew at my school. She was very well liked in general by the student body and the teachers completely adored her. She worked really hard to get good grades but when she got into college she failed miserably and got kicked out. Her problem was that she never let go and was herself and carried herself to much with a crowd that didn’t represent her beliefs, creed, or morals. She decided that the same crowd was the safe one in college and rather she torpedoed herself down a gutter.

I can give you many examples from a girl that graduated as valedictorian from my school to a guy that got accepted into Stanford on a full ride. Just let go, be happy, and don’t slack off on the studies. Have a great social life and enjoy the freedom and the ability to mooch off your parents for another four years. Just make sure you don’t get carried away with something that doesn’t fit your soul.
