5. Learn to manage your resources and avoid extravagant spending.

You should know that you are not in competition with anybody in school. Over there, you will see people from different walks of life: rich and affluent, yahoo guys, middle class and others. Live within your means and do not envy anybody.

6. Choose your friends wisely. Everybody must not be your friend. Look out for people who have the same purpose as you. They will help you in smashing your goals easily.

Spend time with people who add value and quality to your life not those who revel in endless idling.

Food is very important. Don't ever go for your classes on empty stomach. Even if you will, endeavor to take snacks or anything that can sustain you till when you will eat proper food.

Eat fruits too.

8. Stay safe and stay out of trouble. It is not compulsory you must attend every social event in school. Beware of some parties too.
