If you didn't already know, I'm a senior this year. Another thing you might not know is that I'm 15 so that's exciting and cool I guess. So this year has been a sorta eventful year and I'm still in disbelief that I am a senior Alhamdulilah. I learned a ton of stuff this year I though you might enjoy with tips, tricks, advice. So here they are:
1) Make school the second most important thing you do obviously the first thing being your deen. You can't just walk into school and expect to know stuff, it takes hours of studying and research but it'll all pay off in the end.
2) Keep a clear mind. It can be hard to do school if you have a million things on your mind and on your to-do list. Think of it this way - you're gonna have to do the thing eventually so the sooner the better. Another way to keep your thoughts organized is to get a planner and get into the habit of writing stuff down.
3) This is just the beginning, High school isn't anything like the movies. I would suggest just getting your work done and getting out lol you can rest after.
4) Make sure you are learning not just aiming for an 'A', it might be working now but once it's time to go and take the SAT or ACT it's gonna come and bite you in the behind.
5) Speaking of Standardized Exams study for the SAT and ACT early on, I wouldn't say start when you are in middle school maybe in 8th grade get some information on the grading and stuff but once you're ready and know the stuff start doing practice. Practice makes perfect.
6) Stay motivated and treat yourself. It can be hard sometimes when you just wanna be like ya know what McDonald's cashier doesn't seem like too bad of an option but you can accomplish so much more. Don't overthink things, like I said get your work done and graduate after that the world is your oyster.
7) Make sure to focus on your deen. Ya the success in this life is cool, being a doctor or engineer or Olympian but you gotta remember this life is just a temporary thing and if you don't do your best to get to Jannah did you really accomplish anything at all?
8) Remember to Thank, thank everyone; Allah(swt), your parents, your teachers, your supporters, your advisors. Always be thankful
9) Pick up a hobby, don't make this hobby your life but you should always have something when you want to get away and escape the horror of the real world. I personally like piano and basketball.
10) Last but not least Enjoy it, before you know it, it's gonna be over and it's gonna be graduation day and you're gonna be walking across that stage with all your friends cheering you on. So have fun, live a little, hang with ur friends on weekends, everything will pay off.
