Tips for Success

I know that I'm not one of these amazing extraordinaires who are able to do absolutely everything perfectly, but I follow these rules generally and do pretty well in organizing and prioritizing what's important to me.

In order to be successful in school, work, and life (in general), here are a few general guidelines:

• Always take care of your hair, teeth, and skin. Regardless of whatever gender you are... these are the three traits you CAN control (to an extent, anyway), and people will always notice these. I admit, on lazy days I can hardly care less how I look... but on important days, always make sure to maintain yourself.
• Even when you are feeling like a mess, do not act like a mess. If you show how vulnerable you are to others, it's just a sign of weakness. You're going to end up losing most of your dignity. People may care and go over to coddle you - but honestly, is that the type of attention you really wanted? You have to stay strong in public, and continue to do so even when you're alone.
• Manage time well. Consider your schedule and homework when planning something else. Can you manage to do everything in one day? If not, plan to start on the important things a day before. And be realistic too. Ward procrastination off by starting on the project, whether it's through research or an introduction, that way you at least have an idea of what you're doing.
• Establish good connections with others. Don't get involved with potential enemies, and try to stay neutral in conflicts. You never know if one of your classmates has amazing connections outside of school! It doesn't harm you, you make friends, and you might get other opportunities.

Tada! That's all I can think of right now... If you have more, feel free to add on~
