Answer 1

FIRST DAY

Wear a pretty and comfortable outfit and wear a smile! You want to be approachable when people notice you're the new girl. And besides taking the basic essentials such as a notebook and pen, take gum and mints!!! You want to have fresh breath when meeting new people and people love people that give them gum, LOL.

And for looking preppy, I think people will only feel that way about you if you act preppy. Look pretty and be very courteous to everyone. :)

THE REST OF THE WAY...

Make the most out of high school by choosing classes (Honors, Advance Placement, Dual Enrollment) that will challenge you. This will prepare you for college, and trust me, you want to be prepared. It was such a big change when I started college and I was disappointed at myself for taking the easy route in high school. Be involved in school with extracurricular activities and sports. You make great teacher contacts when you're involved -- this will greatly help when applying to colleges and scholarships.

When you also take harder classes and get involved in school activities, I feel that you meet the right people. You want to make friends that are people that really care for their future and are people you can count on. They are great influences and keep you on the right path. If you make friends with people that lives are filled with *drama*, then you'll find no purpose in school but to just go and socialize.

Go to the school with the right mindset, getting your work done and making good friends. High school is the stepping stone to going to an awesome college. :) Enjoy it, time flies.

Answer 2

Be confident, and chat up with a few of your classmates. Dont over-step your bounderies on your first day and be overfriendly.

If you think he or she has similar interests as you, then start a convo.

For school, I would just go with notebooks and folders for each subject. And after the 1st day of school, you would probably get the specific things you need from your teachers.

Pantyliners? haha.

Answer 3

just be yourself and do the things you want to do

hang out with people you want to hang out

just be confident and time will heal the change. good things will come your way
