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

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
