How does she stay successful?:

“I keep a very detailed to do list. Not one, but more like four. I keep a schedule of when and where I’m going to do my work almost a week in advance. I usually block out my Saturday mornings and Sundays to work on major assignments so I don’t die during the week. Usually do something with friends after school until 4ish to balance out social time, which might be studying together.”
