<p>wrong thread whoops</p>
<p>^^^lololol I read it all, and understand, especially since MY POST WAS KIDDDDIIIINNNNGGGGGGG.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>AND you listen to metal… damn you’re hardcore.</p>
<p>To turn the thread away from the realm of only slightly relevant bickering…</p>
<p>You should take a look at Cal Newport’s Study Hacks blog. It takes a while to go through all the useful advice, but I think it’s worth it. And if you’re a Virgo, it’s fun to look at all the planning/organization tactics. :)</p>
<p>Also, in five or less years from now, you won’t even care about getting a C in Spanish or what have you. In fact, you’d probably feel pretty silly that younger-you was so upset. Right now it seems like a big deal, but everything will be okay in the end. And if it’s not okay, then it’s not the end! 
Good luck.</p>

<p>You have to treat your social life like a class. It takes time and effort! If you want better grades in your actual classes, you’ll have to learn to manage your time. Maybe you have to take your social life down a notch to get everything done this semester–although I wouldn’t recommend seriously cutting back since it’s high school! Study wisely rather than in large chunks of time. There’s research that shows you only remember what you study at the beginning and end of a study session, so study for 15 minutes and break for 5 (yes, 5 and only 5, so don’t get on here during a break!). I recopy my notes to study every weekend, and it’s an enormous help. Then, you’re studying as you go along rather than at the end, and it helps you to understand how one day of notes relates to the next. </p>
<p>Also, LISTEN in class. I got a 96 on a test I didn’t study for in one of the most difficult classes in my school (lovely teacher, but he’s kind of a nazi). Granted, it was with a curve and I actually thought I bombed it, but I had been paying attention so attentively in class that I knew the sorts of questions he would throw at us. It saves a bunch of time on studying when you don’t have to ask your friends, “Wait…I think he said something about this but I was texting my boyfriend…” Paying attention for however long one class period is is SO MUCH easier than trying to learn by essentially self-studying the night before the test.</p>
<p>Set aside a day every weekend just for homework. I used to be a Friday girl, but then I realized how much effort it took to overcome my urge to veg with some ramen noodles and TiVoed Grey’s Anatomy. Now I do it on Sundays. I have friends who do it Saturday morning before parties. Pick a day and stick to it (unless something incredibly awesome turns up, in which case you’ll have to manage your time accordingly, as always). I have plenty of popular friends who have turned down dates, football games, parties, and basement sessions of soda pong (lol) to do homework, and no one disrespects them for it.</p>
