This is the last year before you technically get to high school and suddenly school becomes really important. 8th grade is the chance to try a bunch of new activities before it's too late. If there's any extracurricular activity you'd like to try, even if you have no experience with it whatsoever, I'd say go for it!!

Make sure you know exactly what homework you are going to do each night and for how much time. If you don't give yourself certain chunk of times for different subjects then you will spend too much time on one subject and not have time for any others. Also Make sure when you do any kind of project you know exactly the basic outlines for it, write it on a piece of paper if it helps, and then before you hand in your piece check if it all the outlines are included.
