falling behind in school but trying to get back up
Hii :) 16/f. Sophomore.
Well okay. I'm an honors and A.P student...and over the past few months or so, my grades have dropped. I've gone from straight (or nearly straight) As to Bs and Cs. It's making me really worried. The reason for this decline is obviously the distractions that came with this new "social life" I developed. I was very overwhelmed by all these new friends and I let my education sink. It sucks. But I was just wondering...my GPA is 3.7 right now...and I'm really getting my act together. I've let the whole social thing settle down...so it's not TOO distracting and I'm shaping up. Improving.
However, some of the distractions still kind of remain..even though I try to keep them at a min..some subjects aren't going to be As. And I KNOW for SURE I'm gonna do a LOT better next year. It'll be my goal.
I was just wondering whether anyone was in the same situation...and did you manage to get out of it and pull your grades up?
Any advice or anything would be appreciated.

ok well it all depends on the distractions
my biggest right now is IMing because i'm on the comp all the time and well, i have lots of friends in other states that i hardly ever see, and so that is our only form of communication. But i found it very helpful to just tell them im busy and work strongly for some time, then for 10-20 talk w/ them.
I'm currently still trying to get my grades up because the new semester started and my "lovely" teachers decided to put quizzes in as the first grade so they lowered it. but i know i will get it up. i just have to get prioratized!
seriously, make a to-do list. it sounds dumb, but it helps ALOT. then you feel better when you cross things off.
also, put in some breaks while studying
like 10 min for every hour
(i find it helpful to do my work and when i start to get sleepy i put some music on and do my own workout, its good for me and after i fell more awake and better over all)
im possitive you'll get your grades up because of your attitude towards them. try your best and it will pay off!
