First day of high school!

Question

ok so tomorrow I'm starting high school and I'm so nervous! mainly because i don't know my way around the school. hah i could see myself ending up in a bathroom probably lol :)

but any advise?

Answer 1

If you don't know your way around and don't want to be the one coming in 5 minutes late because you got lost, don't be afraid to ask for directions.  On the first day, teachers should be in the halls ready to help with directions.  They won't tell you the wrong directions just to be funny, whereas some upperclassmen would.  Also it's a good idea to have a map of the school.

Don't take a lot of stuff with you on the first day-you might not be able to find and/or open your locker to store it and then you would be stuck carrying it around.  Take a folder with some paper and a pen and pencil.  Your teachers will tell you what you will need for their classes.

Answer 2

Haha, well I'm a sophmore now and last year was my first year so I know exactly what you're talking about. Basically what I suggest is just go in there with your head held high and act like you own the school. Because the upperclassmen can smell it when you're nervous. So just be cool. And be outgoing, but not annoying. If you make friends with the older kids, you won't get picked on as much. Good luck. :D

Answer 4

Get there early to familiarize yourself with the school.  You'll be fine.  You will have everything memorized in no time.  Remember to stay calm and if things get hard, don't over react.  Just stay cool and find someone who can help you.

I'm sure you will be fine.  I always worried about my first days and new schools too; but things always work out in the end.

Good luck!

Answer 5

Most importantly:

Be Yourself.

And dont try too hard to fit in because that will make it harder for you to fit it,considering it is really annoying.

If you arent familiar with the campus.Get there early so that way you can locate your classes before you actually have to be there and are late.

Answer 6

hey i'm going to start high school this year too, but in about a month haha you start early! anyway, if you have an older sibling you could have them help you around the school the first day. you COULD carry a map but i've heard that people think that's really weird :). don't worry, if we get lost our first days i bet the teachers won't mind if we're a little bit late to class. did they have an orientation for your school? they do for mine and if they did then that should help...i hope mine does! good luck!

Answer 7

you should be confident and don't try to act weird or anything

meet up with a friend so yyou can learn together the school

i hope you have a great dayy

XD

Answer 8

The best thing to do is just keep it cool. You may be nervous or excited, but think about this: remember all of the other times you went to a new school/grade? After a few weeks, perhaps even days, it became old news and you got used to it. Same thing with high school. Just be sure to focus and get good grades for the future. And rise above all of the other immature kids who are only focused on friends and stuff like that. Remember, what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger :)

Answer 9

Relax, before you know it it will be next week and you'll have it all down pat.  Just go through it and smile & nod.

Answer 10

I was the same! Finding your way arround is simple once you get past your first day. Anyways, sometimes not knowing where you are going can be funny- i should remember! just stay calm and have a great time!
