You Won't Succeed at School Unless You Do THIS

Because the exams seem to be labelled as the Penultimate Grand Finale of the school year, you might think that exam season is the most important part of the school year.

Your school will also tell you it is…because that’s the part they care about the most. It’s important to THEM that you do well because those numbers are reflective of how well they’re doing their job.

The test is there “to prove you learned something”, and it is thought that the better you know the material, the better you’ll do on the test.

Since the whole system seems to be pointed towards this highly stressful moment of reckoning at the end of the course, you’d THINK it’s the most important part of the school year.

It’s not, though.

Bad Grades? What should you do? (When you worked SUPER. HARD.)

So, you worked super hard, but still got a bad grade? That sucks - I’m sorry. There’s not exactly anything I can say to reverse it.

Thankfully, no matter how awful it feels, bad grades aren’t a life sentence to eternal failure, though. Your life can, and will continue…and I promise, over time, all of this will become less significant.

That being said, what do you DO to get over it, get through it, and move onwards and upwards?

Over the past few months, I have come to discover something very strange and intriguing about my brain…and I have no clue if this is normal…so I thought I would share and see if anyone else has found this, too.
