   In the age of social media, it is important to understand that anything you post online can be easily accessed by future employers or college admissions.

   These days, most busy high school students are no stranger of time management. But if you're not involved in extracurriculars, it is good to force yourself into an extra club or two. Life after high school will only get busier and it's good if you start learning how to prioritize your responsibilities.
