<p>I need to get in the groove as it is junior year and if i put a good push on second half of the year, i can still salvage my average first semester grades to become Valedictorian. What habits do you have for success? and getting in the groove and DOMINATING every test and object in your path?</p>
<p>Get a copy of the literary canon according to Bloom. Read at least a book a month. Profit.</p>

<p>Don’t procrastinate.</p>

<p>study hacks? never heard of it… any more advice?</p>
<p>^ It’s ran by Cal Newport. I highly suggest checking it out. It helped me a lot, probably changed my life (in the long run). :)</p>
<p>I agree that get a copy of the literary canon.</p>
<p>Passion and ambition.</p>
<p>Though, those don’t really apply for academics. Persistence? Oh, and consistency. I know my teachers love students who are consistent on tests and big assignments.</p>

<p>Take 5-hour naps, go out and play with friends and don’t come back until really late at night, procrastinate, eat massive amounts of foodstuff and snacks and get into a food coma. These are habits for success.</p>
<p>Cal Newport is a god. Embrace his blog and his books.</p>
<p>Main thing is you just got to get up and do the work</p>
<p>One goal for me is to sleep at 11 like the valedictorian at my school lol.</p>
