I have a HUGE problem with my new schedule for 9th grade!!?

Question

Okay, my schedule is okay this year, except that I have gym during first hour! (first period) This is the worst, I wish I had it last. Everyone says it's good because it helps wake you up, and you feel energized for the rest of the day, but I don't care! I am going to be sweaty, stinky, messed up, and not looking my best for the whole day! I have trouble changing fast, and getting ready fast, and now I have to make it look like I do in the morning. Any tips on how to still look and smell fine? Also, my 2nd period is on the way other side of the school! how can I change after gym, which takes me forever, and they don't give us enough time, and still make it to 2nd period? Okay, I want to use this as an advantage, having gym first. How can I do that? Like I was thinking, not bothering doing my hair well in the morning, just do it after gym? But I am so slow! How can I be faster to change back after gym! PLEASE HELP, NO STUPID ANSWERS!!

Answer 1

I had the same problem.  I had a locker, in the locker room (I kept a lock on it) and in it I always had baby wipes and baby powder, deotorant, a blow dryer and brush and my gym clothes.  you can excuse yourself from gym early.  about 10 minutes before the bell rings.  Just don't talk to anyone blowdry your hair upsidedown to give it volume again wipe yourself down, powder yourself and use the deotorant. if you do it fast you will still have enough time to put your makeup on.  DONT PUT MAKEUP ON BEFORE SCHOOL.  it looks awful when reapplying looks like you piled it on. or you could put it on before school just make sure to wash your face.  Trust me you can do it in 10 minutes.  Just ignore everyone and get it going.  You can also try it at home.  See how long it takes you.  Good luck!

Hmm, that's rough. I'm afraid you might have to sacrifice some of your looks here. Are there any hairdos that you can just do really fast that still look good? Like a ponytail? Try bringing some cleansing wipes with you to school, then after gym you can just use them to clean yourself off a little so that you're not all sweaty, and make sure you have deodorant. I think that usually they give you a little extra time to change right? But, I guess this will just have to be good practice for you getting ready fast. Maybe at lunch you can spend some time fixing your hair more, so it will still look good in the afternoon. Sorry, that's all I can say, besides just getting more practice changing fast (which you'll definitely get this year). Good luck, and have a great year!

Answer 4

I had that same problem in high school. I finally couldn't take how people reacted around my smelly body and gave the teachers h**l. I took the extra time to clean myself off, wash in the sinks (I didn't feel comfortable showering in a shower that had literally not been cleaned in 15 years) and reapply deoderant. Make sure you pack extra things like towels and maybe your own soap. Move quickly but effectively. If you get hassled by the teachers  you could always take it up to the administration or school board. The fact of the matter is that proper hygiene means a safer, healthier you. Physically speaking you are protecting yourself from getting sick from the bacteria building up, and who knows what you picked up from your classmates. Also, your psychological well being is being affected because if you are worrying about how you smell/look your are distracted from your studies. If people really do find you offensive, your psychology is being negatively affected because its creating anxiety.

Answer 5

Practice makes perfect and experience is the best teacher. You will learn how to dress quickly and do your hair quickly./

Answer 6

Change your schedule.

Just go up there and say you want like english or math or something first period, any class you have later in the day, say you want that because you can concentrate better in the morning.

I've done that before, usually works.

But yeah I have dance like second period and we have to put our hair up and change into tight a leotard and jazz shoes in four minutes, then dress back in our normal clothes after the bell rings & THEN try and get to class. Not that it has anything to do with you, but yeah, that sucks more than having like ten minutes before class is over.

Answer 7

Its not bad. I'm not a girl so hair and whatnot is beyond me... But I know what you're talking about with worrying about stinking for the rest of the day.

pretty much... don't go crazy in gym class so you don't get all sweaty. I'm not saying sit out... just like... take it easy haha. The teachers wont care if you're not running around like a nut... just as long as you participate somewhat.

most gym classes give you plenty of time to change, and if you realize... you're not going to be the only person changing.  I can almost guarantee people will change slower than you... so don't worry about that.

just bring antiperspirant to school with you and you'll be fine with the whole smelling thing.
