6. Stay Motivated
Easier said than done, but losing focus toward the end of the year is a huge problem that can impact your grades and college admission.
7. Steer Clear of Known Setbacks
Now that you have a fresh start, there’s no point in looking back. Make sure you steer clear of second-semester setbacks, like losing focus, assuming you’re all set for college or slacking off in your courses. Remember, everything counts until the very last day of high school!
