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.
