We are at the point of the semester where many people think that boosting your GPA or grades in any form is impossible but I personally think that is a lie. You can totally boost it no matter what time of the year it is. It just might take a little bit more work than originally expected.

Boosting your GPA can be difficult because it is one of those things that fall rather quickly and take a lot longer than expected to pick it up. BUT... never fret! Just implement these tips, do some wishful and hopeful thinking, and just know that you are one smart cookie!

1. Download apps on your laptop & phone that help cut down distractions.

I use these apps all the time and they are so helpful.

2. Sleep more and get a good nights rest (IM SERIOUS)

You can't get good grades when you are constantly yawning, tired, or falling asleep in class. GO TO BED.

3. Ask for help!

I know pride can sometimes get in the way. I know mine does a lot. But honestly asking for help or even just asking clarification questions can make really big differences in your grades very easily.

4. Take a break when needed

My rule of thumb is a 30-minute break for every 1 full, non-distracted hour of studying. I just increase the break by 30 mins each time I spend another hour studying.

5. Be aware of deadlines and time manage them accordingly and appropriately

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.
