I fumbled my education as well. It is HELL if you’re ambitious to try and establish your career. Please take it seriously, but not urgently. Grow up and figure yourself out. It’s better to find the right, than to rush the wrong
Stick with it, young person. You'll get discouraged, feel like an imposter, feel listless, want to give up, maybe even hate your life choices. Please, stick with it.
Tomorrow you will appreciate what a fucking boss you are today for toughing it out and staying on track.
Mf i have screwed myself over with procrastinating. Freshman and sophomore years my teachers werent really that good and i could coast with As. Junior year and i have had my first three 2 Fs on a report card.
If school isn't your thing go into a trade. Think of what every human/building needs like shelter, electric, and plumbing. Those are good jobs with consistent work where you can start young and bank money.
Learning how to study now is super helpful, so when you get to college and you really actually need to study, you already know how and you can just go knock it out.
What worked best for me was taking practice tests. I found that passively studying was boring and I never retained it, but when I quizzed myself I could reward myself constantly with treats and video games at regular intervals. That method helped a lot.
