I’m 18 years old and graduated high school. I plan to go to college, but I’m curious what you need to graduate cum laude because I heard someone (clearly older than me) say they graduated cum laude.

Others have talked about the ultimate measure: your GPA. However, for you to get that high GPA it can help to:

  • Train your relational frame skills.
  • Develop good learning habits through Tiny Habits or something like that.
  • Develop a good relationship with your thoughts and emotions through something like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy or the Healthy Minds Program or any program designed to improve your relationship with your thoughts.
  • Internalize something like Make it Stick or another book that teaches how to learn quickly and well.
  • Internalize habits of mind such as Harvard’s Project Zero’s Visible Thinking Routines.
