As September rolls in, a new school year commences. New classes and new people welcome everyone as the school year begins to pick up its pace. As such, starting the year right is important.
First of all, remain focused in classes. Though they may start with simple lessons and assignments, you should still pay attention to the teacher and remain engaged. As a result, you will be able to establish a consistent habit of remaining focused when the lessons become more difficult.
I would also recommend staying organized and writing down the due dates of assignments. You can do this by using a planner or the application Tasks on your Macbook. It may seem annoying to do, but writing all your responsibilities down can help you in the long-term by keeping track of when assignments are due. This will reduce the chance of you having incomplete assignments that lower your grade.

To add on, don’t stress too much about your classes this early in the year. Stressing about classes may negatively affect your mental health and decrease your performance in school. School is just beginning; don’t overwhelm yourself with work and approach your responsibilities one step at a time.
Additionally, time management is one of the most important skills I would recommend to have for the school year. Manage your time for completing upcoming assignments and don’t procrastinate, as it will only temporarily delay the work. Getting your work done earlier would not only allow more time to check over assignments before submission, but also allow you to have more time for yourself. Personally, I think being able to do whatever I want after getting all my work done is more rewarding.
Overall, the new school year can be overwhelming at first but remember that it is also a new beginning. Don’t start the year thinking about challenges that are going to occur. Instead, remember the good that is coming.
