ABOUT ME
My name is Gohar Khan, and I'm an MIT grad helping you succeed at school. I make videos about study strategies, college applications, and occasionally, my day-to-day life. I want to equip students with the tools, knowledge, and resources they need to realize their academic potential.

Summer break lasts like 5 minutes and then it’s back to school again 😭

[FluffyVu]

My goals:

My main goal is to earn A's in all my classes by studying often and ask questions when needed
Another goal is to get out of bed quicker instead of spending an hour or two each morning on my phone
My last goal is to be more productive by taking walks outside and doing work around the house.

My goals:

1. Stop being a pushover. In my 9th grade year, I let "kindness" turn into me basically getting used by almost everyone. I realize my mistake and refuse to fall into it again.
2. Get more active. I tend to not have much motivation to be physically active in my life. However, I'll make it my mission to stop the excuses. It'll start with some simple cardio and then extend into whatever I enjoy the most.
3. Get into the programming world. I can say with certainty that my dream job is somewhere in this field. I have high hopes for cybersecurity but I'll have to see where this journey takes me.
4. Opening my social life. I can in fact say that I am a socially anxious person. I'm not going too far with this, but I'll try to meet some more people than I did last year (9th grade).

These are some pretty basic goals but I believe that if I set my heart and mind on them, I will achieve.

In terms of setting goals, I don't have anything against it. But when it comes to a huge goal that I want to achieve, I follow this quote:

*"Don't set goals, set systems"*

[SALMA.Mcbroom]

Love your videos Thanks, this really helped!

[Axolozzy]

my goals:

first, I’m taking a harder math course this year and I hope to get over 90% on all tests
I also want to be more invested in extracurricular whether it is or isn’t part of my schools activities
I want to fix my sleep schedule by sleeping at waking up consistently
Lastly, I want to start working out and becoming more fit

[HappyYomar]

Here are some of my goals! Im actually heading into high school this year!

1. Improve my note-taking skills. I'm not the greatest at taking notes, but hopefully, I can improve this year!

2. Work on organization. I need to work more on organizing my life, and I've taken the steps to do so! I went out and bought a planner. Now i just gotta use it.

3. Lastly, I want to be more involved and crawl out of my shell. I've was pretty shy during middle school, so hopefully, I can try to find a club that interests me, and overall meet some new friends!

Bonus Goal (This has no relation to school at all): Learn how to solve a Rubix's Cube!

Anyway, good luck all for the 2024-2025 school year! We got this!

[InfinitySpeedcuber]

My main goal this year:
Not helping others more than I have to. I was literally getting used last year lol, I don’t want to do that again.

[The-Wandering_Cynic]

my goals::
try less to be an asshole,
find a way to control my monstrous ego
reach the top of my highschool
get record breaking grades

[Accountdeleted]

Dang the summer went by faster than I thought

[lightleviathan]

taking 2 ap's, 3 honors, and got crazy extracurriculars, gotta lock in

[thequickbrick]

Good advice, and I will definitely use this! *goes right back to binging Youtube and procrastinating

[Fused_Butter]

My advice: Get 2 notebooks for important classes (Math, science etc) one for notes and the other to revise the notes

[M_Kk]

My Goals:

Continue to get all As, Write notes, listen to the teacher, pray I don’t get a class with some particular people, sit 2nd row (I normally sit towards the back and get distracted by my friends & when I previously sat towards the front my grades increased soooo), read more challenging books (increase my vocabulary), less screen time after school (stop watching brain rot!), be consistent with my schedule, talk to more people (more opportunities), be nice to my teachers (make them remember me (in a good way)), study study study, organize my space (I always say organized space = organized mind)

[samtheman]

My Goals:

It is about to be my first year of High School and I’m trying to be a new and better version of myself. I’m in more advanced ELA, History, and Spanish classes and want better grades in all my classes. Preferably a 90% or above throughout the year

Last year I was very anti-social and didn’t talk a lot to anyone mainly because I was afraid and didn't know what to say. I will become a better speaker and gain social confidence throughout the year by pushing myself to initiate conversations and create connections

I also want to start working out to get bigger and gain muscle. This will also help me develop my skills in wrestling, a sport I am trying to build my skills in

Lastly, I want to make an impact in whatever club, sport or class I am in and give 100% in everything I do

[kkagie]

my goals:
-be more aware of time
-socialize and stop caring about how my schoolmates judge me because theyll probably forget most of me when i graduate
-get some sense of clothing style so im not wearing the gross pants ive been wearing since 6th grade (havent grown tbh)
-keep my straight As (92.5%+ in my school)
-try to get all 5s on APs
-remember to study/read ahead, I have never done this before wish me luck
-don't binge eat and continue w my gym journey with my friend
-dont forget about music stuff (like stuff on my channel but also piano and whatnot)
-breathe. touch grass.

-lock in, bcs this year will be better. this year will be my peak as of so far. i have to lock in :)

This video came at the perfect time for me. I go back to school in a little over a month and I'll be starting my sixth and final year of my computer engineering undergrad (yes, six years total, I know).

Every single one of these tips are going to be part of my plan for making this my best year of college, even though it will be my last. Thanks for this video, Gohar!

[admiralfox]

my goals for this year:
Make a schedule that I can follow every day so i don’t feel overwhelmed
consistent 4.0+ GPA
at least 4s, preferably 5s on APs
Better utilize free time (study instead of gaming for 4 hours on weekends, etc)
