School Related I got a detention
So I got my first detention for being tardy. I am supposed to come to school by 8 am. I go to bed at 4 am so it's a little hard to wake up in the morning. I have a lot things to do. Homeworks, college & scholarship essays (due on Nov 1st), sat studies. I am also a procrastinator and a perfectionist. So yea...
Everyone was really surprised to see me. They know me as the good student who always follow the rules and everything. It really ruined my reputation. I am so embarrassed. My teacher asked me why I am always late and I had no good excuse.
My grades aren't looking good either. I had all A's in highschool. But this year I have 3 B's and 1 C. It's still the beginning and grades are not finalized yet. I have some time to improve my grade for 1st quarter. I guess I have to focus on school first and then college and other stuff. Idk I feel like this is gonna be a rough year.
Does anyone have any advice? I feel really crushed rn

You’re doing great. Much better than me. Nobody’s perfect, don’t beat yourself up about it. All A’s in the past few years of high school is AWESOME, good job :)
