The typical college campus is a friendly place, but it is also a competitive environment. The education you receive there, and the attitudes you develop will guide you for the rest of your life. Your grades will be especially important in landing your first job, or when applying to graduate school. To be a successful student requires certain skills. But these are skills that can be learned.

In my opinion, the most important thing in school life is to put things in an order from the most to the least important. I clearly don’t want to say it, but when you will be prioritizing your life, doing well in school should be your top priority.

Secondly, you must study more. I know that many of the students who read that will directly say that they study as much as possible. But this is not enough! I am doing the same thing as you but some of my teachers are still not satisfied with my work.

If you don’t want to study as hard as you can, you can at least finish all the homework, studying and the exercises that the teachers have assigned. Try it and you will see it will work.

Another very important tip that I want to give you is that you must manage your time. If you have two days to submit an assignment, you don’t have to study on the first day, but you know you will have to study on the second day; it is better to do the assignment on the first day. If you want to remember this tip, you can also say the phrase “Now or never”.

Now, this tip refers mostly to the teenagers of senior high school. Let’s compare a good and a bad student. It’s Friday and you have just three hours of school instead of seven. The bad student would say ‘There are just three hours of school, and I am so bored of it. So, I will skip this day.’ But there is the difference. The good student would attend every single hour of school without caring about the bad weather for example.

And lastly the most important tip of all! You must develop self-discipline. If you don’t know how to do this here is how. First it is important to know your strengths and weaknesses. Secondly you must know when you have a motivation. After that you should recognize when you fail somewhere. Then you always must be able to stay positive and lastly, the key to develop your self-discipline perfectly is to get better at time management, so you can finish all your homework and study for all your classes.
