1. First and foremost: DO NOT PROCRASTINATE. One of worst things in the world is procrastination, resulting in stressful nights, late assignments, and mediocre work. Always try to finish assignments early. Whenever you get the chance, attempt to do your homework. This will result in less stress and more free time. Better quality work will result in better grades and an overall better sense of accomplishment. This applies not only to homework, but also to class work, projects, tests, etc.

When trying to build you’re the reputation of your college application, extra-curricular activities are what set you apart from the other thousands that apply. You may think that your grades are amazing because you have straight A’s and a 4.7 GPA, but in reality, you are nothing more than a speck in the grand scheme of things. I cannot emphasize this to a respectable extent: EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES ARE IMPORTANT.
In an elitist society where education is more important now than in the past, it makes one think that maybe students are beginning to feel too much pressure, enough pressure to the point of breaking. Many students are feeling that without the proper education, they will not be able to get the dream job that they always wanted. Over the top college competition, along with the pressures of society make someone like me say: Enough!
In our present-day economy, no field of service is untouched, especially education. With a down economy, budget cuts are paramount, and education has always been the first choice to drain needed money from, resulting in an education that is only a fraction of what it should be. In my own personal experience, my school has always suffered budget cuts, bringing down the value of education in an extra competitive environment. This paradoxical relationship is awkward for students to deal with.
