1. Attend class! If you are frequently absent, it is difficult to catch up, especially when you are missing multiple classes. It is much easier to learn if you are in class on a regular basis.

Try to avoid being late to school as well, because you will be missing your morning classes. Also, colleges look at your absences and tardies to school when reviewing your transcript.
