this boy needs the 411 from high school men
Planr:
* do your homework
* show up to class on time
* dont get involved in cliques/interpersonal drama
* be nice to everyone
if you do these 4 things, high school will be incredibly easy.
crazy54311:
For the love of god do your class/home work because that stuff will just pile up the more you miss and it'll not be fun trying to bring up your grade because of all that missing/unfinished stuff
learned that in freshman year and it made me a better person for sophomore year
oh yeah and dont be no fricking silent loner man and try and join a club or some stuff and you will be alright, that or your money back guaranteed
Figure:
once you become an 11th grade monday like me take robotics and chem so you can rule the world with robots and bombs

It's a way of resolving the cognitive dissonance caused by spending our best, most virile years of life preparing for a career that makes more money.
That being said, going into the arts/humanities is a good thing as long as you don't suck. The problem with those degrees is that they tend to attract people who were maybe 'A' English students back in high school, but have neither the talent nor the drive to actually make it as an author/journalist/whatever. The distinction between someone who 'can make it' and someone who can't is much less clear in the arts. There is also no filter to weed out the stuffty students going for an English degree.
On the other hand, it is nearly impossible to forget up with a STEM degree as long as you graduate from college. A degree in mechanical or electrical engineering means you can find a good-paying job somewhere, even if you're actually pretty dumb or unskilled. You might not be building rockets or pacemakers, but you can do some sort of pencil-pushing nonsense at a pipe-fabrication company for $80k a year.

I graduated from high school in 2016. My advice is to not do drugs, and if you are going to do drugs, at least finish your homework first. Lots of extremely promising kids from my high school totally lost all their momentum after they started getting into substances because they'd stay out late and not finish their work. It becomes way easier to justify lower standards after getting that first C or D, and it'll hurt you if you're trying to go to a good college.
