Hello peers, friends, and colleagues,

I am a sophomore in my undergraduate years humbly asking for advice in finishing this semester strong. Do y’all have tips in how y’all gradually transformed throughout undergrad from either C or B students to A students? The classes I am enrolled in, organic chemistry and cell biology, are genuinely fascinating. I am always willing to take the time to understand the concepts/do the problems and re-listen to my professors’ audio recordings (from lectures) to both understand and memorize the material as much as possible. Nonetheless, after spending hours of putting this information in my own words and trying to iron it out, I still seem to overthink or misunderstand the wording of some of these questions on test days. So, advice?

More so, if you could go back, what more do you wish you could have done your sophomore year (e.g. perhaps have more fun, take more leadership positions you were passionate about)?
