1. Some days you won't feel intrinsically motivated. That's ok. That's why friends, motivational speeches and pump-up jams exist.
2. You learn as much from your extra-curricular activities as you do from your formal education. This is where you'll gain soft skills.
3. Treat all subject matter as though its wildly interesting. If you speak about everything like it's your favourite topic, soon enough you'll genuinely find an interest in it.
4. Pick subjects you like. Don't pick a subject because your friends are doing it, it scales well or you think it's what you should be doing.
5. Pick subjects you absolutely suck at. You don't have to only pick subjects you know you'll do well in - you can do things that
challenge you; things that will make you grow.
6. Don't pay too much attention to ranks. You don't have to focus on others -just do your work really hard.
7. Ask for help! Ask your friends, your teachers, your parents, your
seniors - anyone who you think will listen. There is never any shame asking for help.
8. Study everything. Don't neglect one subject in favour of another.
Make sure every subject is getting time, even if it's not an equal amount.
9. Lists help a lot. Write down things. Tick them off as you go.
10. Your academic goals don't have to be the same as anyone else's goals. You shouldn't have to worry if your goals are higher or lower than anyone else's - they are yours.
11. Studying with friends makes studying around exams a whole lot more bearable.
12. Pay attention to your health. An 'A grade is nice, but 8 hours of sleep per day is nicer.
13. Pay attention to your friends' health, especially around exams.
Some of your friends might be struggling, make sure you're there for them and you support each other.
14. Talking about doing
something isn't nearly as effective as actually doing something.
15. If you're good at something, help someone else. It'll help out the other person and help you better understand it if you help someone else understand it. Win-win.
16. Sometimes you won't meet your goals and that's ok. Don't let one failure overshadow all your success .
17. Do things you enjoy. Don't give up your hobbies entirely just to focus on academia. You'll do much better if you have time to have fun and relax.
