Im starting at a new boarding school, I need to calm my nerves!!!?

Question

Ok im starting at a new boarding school in 3 days. I need to calm my nerves. I am bad about making friends because i am too shy, thats my main thing im nervouse about is making friends....On the first day of school i need to calm down...I have valium that i am going to take to chill me...

Answer 1

i really don't understand the question here?

i'd suggest not drugging yourself up... because if that's what you're using on the first day, are you going to use it the rest of the year... just to calm your nerves?

just don't worry about it because whatever happens, is going to happen. and you cannot be stressed out about it. whether or not you're nervous is not going to change anything, so you should just not stress out about it. everyone else is going to be in the same boat you are, they're probably going to be a little scared too. but i don't think it's something that you really need to drug yourself up over.

i'm not sure if this was the answer you were looking for, but then again you really never asked a question.

Answer 2

Don't panic about it. My dad's a Colonel in the US Air Force and I've moved schools so many times, I've lost count. For the first few times, I panicked like h**l and trust me, it didn't help.

In the end, all I had to do was take a deep steadying breath and I was good to go. You'll probably get a roommate or at least someone down the hall so try talking to them first. If you make the first step, they'll reciprocate. Whatever you do, don't take the Valium. It won't help.

When you first get there, find a person or people you think look nice and introduce yourself. Explain where you've come from and that you'd like to be friends. Have any other family members ever gone to this school? If so, that could help.

My newest school is in Ohio, just outside of Wright-Patterson AF base and my Uncle Rick attended about twenty years ago so he could give me some pointers.

Making friends will come easy once you get over the nerves. Just smile a lot and people will approach you. I've been in Ohio for 18 months now and I made my first group of friends on my first day there. I sat in homeroom and the girl next to me introduced herself and we've been best friends ever since.

Basically, be happy and don't panic because you'll be fine once you're there.

Good luck and I hope you have fun!

Answer 4

What boarding school are you going to?  I'm going to boarding school this year too :) E-mail me, lets talk. I have a couple of questions too. Like what'd you get on the SSAT's? How did you study for it? Do you have any tips for me to get a 90% or above? I plan on applying to a different boarding school next year.
