Do you want to know how to be smart but not nerd? It's simple, and there are only a few things you need to know.
[edit] Steps
- Think of yourself in a positive way. Don't think of yourself as the dumb person in the class. Don't let others get in your way of becoming your best. Remember you can be smart in many different ways.
- Study. Put effort into doing your homework and studying. If you have trouble tell your teacher or tutor that you are having trouble keeping up with the level of work that you are doing.
- Put all this studying into your regular schedule each day. But remember to rest after working hard.
- Sleep. Make sure you get enough sleep according to your age. You do not want to be half-asleep in your class and not know how to do your own homework.
- Have cool friends like in movies, those best-friend clubs. There's always a smart one but their not nerdy.
- Fashionable but sensible clothes will make you look normal but above average but not a nerd.
