Crush sophomore year, period. Full stop. Do not look ahead, do not plan for college.

Once you have a full, solid year in the books and a demonstrated performance level you might be able to talk your way into or out of whatever regulations bar your path, but nothing happens until you book a full year of real performance. Don’t be wishful, don’t pretend you don’t know what to do, just get to work. That means pay attention in class, take good notes, ask questions, do all the homework on the day it’s assigned, study the homework and quizzes you get back to see why you missed any questions and be sure to understand them before moving on.

There are a million tips for being an effective student, and most involve grinding out some work each day. Just stay on it. If that’s hard, treat it like a game and collect all the points, beat the puzzles, advance to the next level, but you still have to play every day. Good luck.
