advice

I'm going into my junior year this fall, and I'm nervous. I heard it's one of the most important, yet the most hard year in high school.

I'm also going to be getting my permit AND my job in October. I need a job simply because I'm BROKE.

I need study tips, any tips for balancing time, and any other advice for my junior year.

Also, should I be looking into college? I want to be a vet, so should I also be doing anything else? (Volunteering, etc.)

im going into my junior year too and ive heard the same thing. we're in the same boat actually hahah. [i get my license and a job in september]

but anyways, you definitely should be looking at colleges now. ive been looking since freshman year. i use myroad.com [also collegeboard.com] and its amazingg ! it has every college you could ever imagine and you can compare two or three of them together. also, you can pick all the things you want in a school and it'll search which schools have all of your criteria. seriously, its worth it. i got it through my school so i dont have to pay. but even if i didn't, id still buy it. its definitely worth the money.

since you want to be a vet, itd look really good on your college resume to have volunteer hours at a local shelter or your participation in an animal rights club. you can also be an active member of PETA.

as for study tips, since you're always gonna be on the go, try and make flash cards. look at the time you spend on the bus [or however you get to school] as another chance to study. you're gonna need a lot of time for things so sleep kinda gets pushed aside. small things like showering at night will save you time in the morning so you aren't always dragging your butt hahah. another thing for studying is dont save it all for the night before a test. its way easier said than done but it will save you time if you study a little each day.

sorry that was really long !
hope i helped !
