Freshman year first day tips by me:

NERVOUS:

For one, it's very normal to be nervous. I can promise you that you won't be the only one. From experience, when months pass by and it's the last week of school, you'll want to know why you were scared to begin with. It's only new adjustments that's all.

CLASSES:

Choose them wisely, don't go for honors or AP if you know you can't handle it. Go for an elective that you enjoy.

FRIENDS:

You will meet new friends and by doing that you have to: Be yourself, Come out of your shell, and Get involved (meaning that you should join clubs or sports so that you could meet new people from all grade levels). On the first day, you can always say hi to the person sitting next to you and start up a quick conversation before the teacher begins. Once the teacher begins the class goes on quiet mode.

SLEEP:

To get some sleep; Just try and shut down your brain. Don't worry about how the next day will turn out. . . trust me it will get there. Just listen to yourself breathing and in no time you'll be asleep.

Or think about the downsides like homework, projects, essays and teachers who don't know when to stop talking.

FIRST DAY warnings:

You'll run into a lot of quiet, loud, mature, immature, nice and mean people. If anyone verbally attacks you as a freshman, just S H A K E it off. Remember that they are nobody or lets just say NOTHING.

LUNCH:

Lunch can be very overcrowded, but all you need to do it find a friend; whether it's someone you just met or someone from last year, then ask if you can join them.

If your aware that a close friend or an acquaintance might have your lunch then plan ahead and ask if you can sit with them on the first day.

-There is also a large variety of foods to choose from.

WHAT TO BRING TO CLASS ON FIRST DAY:

Folder - for all the syllabuses, rules, guidelines, & supply lists that your teacher passes out

Pencil - Just in case your asked to do a small activity that involves writing

Paper - Again for the small activity

Locker items - If your locker was already given out to you then it's best to bring your lock & throughout the week you can bring your locker items.

--And any girl/boy accessories that you may need. (ipod, phones, makeup, brushes, etc.)

DON'T FORGET:

Focus on your grades, try to balance everything out academically and socially.

Be yourself.

Don't give in to peer pressure.

Stay out of drama and hang with the right crowd.

Do NOT procrastinate.

Study for those exams and tests

Show school spirit!

Be yourself the first day of high school. Act the way you want to be known. HIgh school is a fresh new start with new people. You can make new and different friends than you had in middle school. Try to reach out to others and introduce yourself instead of being shy. Good Luck!!

Join a sport or program.That's what I did.I played on the basketball team when I was in the ninth grade and it really helped me socially in getting to know other people.You can also run for class president or homecoming,will also help get to no more people.If you don't want to do that,then just be more sociable

with people in your class.

Well I hope I helped,Good luck in high school.

I never had problems with getting or keeping friends I was shy in high school also.I still am to this day.. You just have to be yourself or ya'll never get to experience life .... Like they say be yourself. You wouldn't want fake friends anyways .. keep the ones u have and be happy ,.....good friends are to few nowadays.

Well if you weren't liked in middle school you probably don't have a chance in high school. But my advice is make sure you buy all you clothes from abercrombie and fitch. That will increase your popularity and self esteem. people will really look at you in a different way and you might even have a chance of becoming popular

HOPE THIS HELPS :):):):):):):):):):)

same thing here I HAD LIKE BARELY ANY FRENDS. I SAW THE POPULAR GROUPS AND WISHED THAT I WAS IN IT
