How to make A's

High school is a pain in the ass. Lets face it, you are a slave to a system which makes living life a complete hell, so I say, lets all just screw our teachers and leave. no puns.
So, this is a guide to making A's and B's, and loosing the C's and under. What we must keep in mind as we run through the details is; how does one become studious, and does that make you a nerd? Its perplexing.

What does it mean to make A's in high school.

1) it means you will likely have a 6 figure income by the time you finish college.
2) you will get all the girls you can imagine with your wallet, and intellectual personalty- holds the same for women.
3) you will get smarter, if your into that sorta thing
4) you are in control of your fate, which is the most important benefit.

Now that we established why it is important, lets take a look at how to get there.

1) Sleep early, sleep is essential to memory formation and consolidation; without great encoding; you cannot have great retrieval.- you need about 8 hours of sleep; as you get closer to morning you experience increasing REM cycles which is the most important part for your cognitive developement.
2) Read excessively; the more you read, be it magazines or literature, the more your mind works and expands its neural netwoks. You will also experience a dramatic increase in vocabulary which will help get you points in english class.
4) We chose to skip 3 because for it more important; you need to have friends in school. Friends may seem superficial at first, but having a network of people you can call upon to help you out on work or assignements is a good inssurance for success, also they develope your people skills and communication ability which is requisite in todays jobs and universities.
5) Eat very well, the mind is nurrished by the food you put into your body, so drink plenty of water, eat blueberries and pomagranite because they are anti-oxidants and keep your mind healthy and fully functional; fish is a great food for memory and contains good amounts of DHA and Omega-3 fatty acids which will have amazing results on your fluidity of thought.
6) Vitamins and supplements can help, but I recomend getting these through your meals because it can get expensive after a while.
7) Remember the old adage, like body, like mind. Well excercising regularly will enhance your mind by mitigating stress and flowing more oxygen and blood through the brain. New studies suggest that weightlifting actually improves you memory capacity.

These are some key points to consider, but above all developing the discipline to study every day and practice memorizing information will be essential to your success; if you follow our guidelines than your focus and thinking will be sharp enough to study at your best and with ease and pleasure.
