Step 1
Re-Entering the Year With Perspective
Sophomore year can feel different almost immediately.
Classes may feel more important.
Grades may feel more connected to the future.
You might notice yourself comparing more, thinking ahead more, or feeling pressure earlier than you did freshman year.
But you are also not starting from zero anymore.
You now know things now that you did not know a year ago: how your school works, how stress affects you, what throws you off, and what usually helps.
Core Idea
A lot of sophomore year is learning to trust evidence of your growth instead of only focusing on what still feels difficult.
