Dear Bearby,
I cannot get through a full day of school without leaving. I have not attended a full week of school since the second semester started. My grades are plummeting. Help!
Sincerely,
Second Semester Senior
Dear Second Semester Senior,
Even though you may have finished applying to your post-high school plans, your effort in school still counts! It wouldn’t be productive to begin the next period of your life with dropped grades and failed classes. Try to get through the most fun block day first- knowing I have a good outfit on or will see my school friends always motivates me to stay on campus. On Mondays, if you make it until lunch, treat yourself to a donut in the C-wing with the Donut Club. It’s also important to build productive habits like time management and determination for the rest of your life.
Love, Bearby
