Procrastination

Whatever I have to say on procrastination has probably been said a thousand times over- whether in the form of your parent's nagging at you or your own flaky advice to yourself. To save us both time, I'll just post this motivational video instead. Enjoy.

Relationships

NOTE : This was written by one of my friends as a fresh perspective. Enjoy! Let’s start with a little anecdote shall we? The summer before high school started I was a blossoming little soon-to-be freshman ready to walk through those hallowed halls of high school and come one step closer to college, adulthood, and liberation. At that point I didn’t know how much I’d have to go through to get there. During that summer I got my first boyfriend. (Saying it like that makes it seem like I just caught a shiny Magikarp.)

Mental Health

NOTE: This was written by one of my friends as a fresh perspective. Enjoy! In the midst of chaos that is high school, burning out is all too common. I'm not going to say that grades aren't important, but can you tell me that ten years from now you'll still remember what your high school GPA was? On the other hand, your well-being will impact you for far longer than that. If you feel overwhelmed, stressed out, or lonely there's many resources available both online and at school for you. Please talk to somebody and remember that self-care is important! -JL
