  • We both know you've been thinking about picking up a Ridge Wallet. Now is the time to act. Visit Ridge.com/LAME for 10% off your order! It also DIRECTLY supports me so I'm not poor anymore lol.
    I also have some wonderful merch with the incredible CROWDMADE! Check out our stuff at crowdmade.com/collections/nat....

    It's about time I make a sophomore year survival guide, don't you think? 10th graders need some TLC sometimes, too.
    Everything is covered, from class selection to friendships to romances to even partying. These are the most legit tips on the internet, yo.
    This is part 1 of a 3 part series to cover every year of high school. By the end, this will probably be over an hour of content yikes. Thanks again to the Ridge for helping make this possible. The lord knows I'd never be able to do this solo.
    Also, shout out to the folks watching this who AREN'T in high school anymore. You guys are weirdos. I mean, I kinda still watch high school survival guides since it's a fun time to remind myself of all the shenanigans I would get into with my friends but... It's kinda sad, ya know? To take time and reminisce about something you'll never experience again?
    To be fair though, most of this advice is applicable to pretty much everyone. Kinda common sense, you know? Or at least it should be.
    Also, hello scared teenagers who are entering sophomore year of high school! How are you? I dunno, I got a lot of requests from folks asking me to make this video but??? You're a sophomore. You already know the drill. You've been in school long enough.
    It'd be such a waste of my time to walk sophomores through the ins and outs of being in school. You kids should be pros already. Instead, I think it's more useful (and fun to watch) to focus on the soft skills like cheating on homework and whatnot.
    That's kinda what the rest of this series will be: Lots of soft skills for kids.
    By the way, a fun fact about RUclips: They use the descriptions of videos to optimize them for searches. Basically, if I fill this description up with buzzwords and stuff, it'll do better on the analytics. Pretty handy dandy if you ask me. That's entirely why I'm rambling like a buffoon here.
    Also, did I mention you should check out Ridge Wallet?

    I did my sophomore year twice so I feel like an expert lol. This is my advice:
    ~get your driver’s license as soon as possible. You’ll be able to do the stereotypical high school stuff so much easier, go anywhere anytime you want, and you’ll also be that cool kid that can drive.
    ~I know this one sounds cliche but talk to everyone you can and be nice to them. You’re at that age where you can befriend everyone from sophomores to occasionally seniors so take advantage of it. Also you won’t be stuck in that terrible “I have no friends in this class my life is over” spot again because most of the time you’ll have some sort of acquaintance anywhere.
    ~start to distance yourself from your parents and do stuff on your own, the earlier you can get them off your back the better your later high school years will be, plus you’re preparing for the future.
    ~this year is a sort of middle ground between the super important junior and senior years and the newbie freshman years. Use that as both an excuse to have fun and an excuse to get your issues figured out. You don’t want to be dealing with a crisis while you’re also trying to prepare for college.
    ~try and figure out what you want to do with your life. If you already have an idea of what you want out of being alive then when they start talking about it junior and senior year it’s easier.
    ~seriously don’t do drugs, just wait until you’re in college it’s not fun or fresh and it actually does bad stuff to your head. If you want a good coping mechanism try immersing yourself in some tv show that’s what I did in tenth grade and it worked out great and led to me realizing what I wanted to do with my life so yeah.
    ~if you don’t trust your parents to help you deal with your issues find some adult at your school you can trust. If your guidance counselor sucks befriend your favorite teacher or coach or someone else. No matter how mature you think you are you should have someone to lean on if you need it.
    ~don’t be a dick. It doesn’t make you cool or edgy it just makes you an annoying prick who no one wants to talk to. Don’t think you’re better than everyone because trust me you’re not.

      I’m a college sophomore and most of these are good. I would add don’t do drugs ever. Believe it or not life gets way more stressful once your out of high school and staying sober minded will only work to your advantage. Also parents, while at times annoying most of them time mean well. They are having to accept that you are growing up which is harder then we may think. It is best to try to have reasonable conversation with them about boundaries rather then just out right trying to get them off your back. Besides that I would have to say these are some great tips.

      Thats okay I have tips for junior year. I am becoming a senior in September and since there isnt a video, I will give you some MAJOR tips.
      Junior year is definitely the scariest year, with all the teachers and counselors poking you every day to make sure you're doing good and make sure you are prepared for the SAT and finding colleges, along with possibly making you write essays towards the end of the year for your college application.
      It can be very overwhelming, but you are not alone. Many kids this year, as seen in the chart given to you by this video, says juniors are the depressed kids. That is actually kind of true because there is SO much to worry about this year. But it's okay. COMMUNICATION is your best friend during Junior year and making sure you are in a good place and organizing yourself to your best ability is key.
      Talk to people. Hang out with friends. Get those pesky community service hours out of the way. Have fun.
      Whenever you feel overwhelmed, take a step back and make sure to relax and do something fun, like hanging out with friends. That will allow you to take on your responsibilities with fresh eyes and get it out of the way.
      Think of it like this: the more you accomplish in your junior year, the less you'll have to worry about when you become a senior, or even when you go to college and get a job.
      Make sure you study or at least take practice tests for the SAT. It might seem scary but taking practice tests on SAT apps really help. If you think the SAT is really scary, it honestly really isn't that bad. The literature portion has texts you read and multiple choice questions about those texts, and also has a second part where you fix the punctuation through multiple choice. The math is just algebra you learned in middle school. Honestly what you've been learning in math these past two years is harder than the math questions on the SAT. You'll be fine. If you get a low score, you will have a chance to retake it. I wasn't entirley satisfied with my score this year, so I'm taking it again in October.
      If you're unsure of what college you're going to or what you want to do, that's okay. Just ask questions with your teachers or counselors to make sure you at least know how to get into college. That is, if you even want to go to college. There are so many options which are also overwhelming at times, but think about the things you enjoy doing most, like your hobbies or your favorite classes. If you're unsure of that, at least think of the classes you hate so you knock out the career paths you definitely don't want to go for.
      Apart from all that, have fun!! Go out with friends, if you have a gf or bf make sure to do stupid stuff outside of school. Go to parties, but watch out for them like how this video explains.
      And that's basically the most important points to cover.
      Trust me, be yourself and take a chill pill (not drugs obviously don't do that to yourself... Like relax lol). You'll do amazing. I believe in you :)

    Quick tip: if you have the option to work at a movie theater, do it.

You also get large discounts on all the concessions, and you will often get to take home entire bags of leftover popcorn.

You can’t screw around when it comes to driving. I was in an accident during sophomore year. They can change your life forever.

    I’m an eighth grader awaiting the impending end of middle school in two days, and as an incoming freshman, I can’t even express how mortified I am, especially as I will be attending a large public school. It’ll be an intense change but I’m looking forward the new opportunities. Even though this video is intended for sophomores it really does help, thanks bro. And yes I’m quite aware no one will likely see this haha

    Just over a month into my sophomore year and I suddenly feel the shift. When I was a freshman, people a grade above me told me how they wished they could be freshman again. I did not believe them until now. I have the PSAT tomorrow and two projects due this Friday (10/11/2023).

    As someone who is finishing Sophomore year in less then 3 weeks.... I’d call this pretty accurate. Also- please please PLEASE take and try AP classes. Stay in honors if that’s not an option. AP classes are your friend for getting into college, but your greatest enemy in high school. But they can be worth it in the long run.

      Are you sure? I’m currently a freshmen faced with the opportunity to take honors world history II I’m debating whether I wanna take it or not. What do you recommend (I’m also balancing this with AP chem and Honors pre-calc)

      But first I want to congratulate you on the classes you’re taking. That’s incredible that you’re doing those classes. Keep up the good work!
      AP classes are challenging (obviously). And AP World History is extremely content based class. You write essays, have to keep track of notes, and read a lot. It’s a long year with a lot of material. But if you take the AP test (which you technically don’t have to take an AP class for exactly, depending on your school), getting an average or above average score on the AP exam does give you college credits. Taking the class gets you college credits. It’s an incredible if expensive opportunity.
      I don’t know your situation fully. And I apologize if my words don’t mean much. But I don’t know. Maybe I gave you a perspective? There are a bunch of videos on RUclips that also can help explain what a class like that is like if you ever need.
      I hope this was at least a little helpful
