Ummm, high school nerves, I guess...?? ?

Question

I know it's long, sorry.

Why does it seem like you have to have a bag to carry your books, like to carry around all day? What's wrong with just carrying them around. Anything weird with that? I mean, I know some people have quite a few books to carry and it makes it a lot easier. But I don't know how many books I'll need, or if I'm going to need a bag or not... I'm starting high school on Monday, I don't really know much about what people do with their books or anything, and we have unbelievably small lockers, my days consists of FOUR periods, each about 80 min. And I don't know what to do about my lunch because, I don't buy my lunches, and I don't want to carry it around all day but I also don't know if I'd be able to go to my locker for whenever I'm supposed to have lunch. I also apparently have lunch at a different time everyday. I also heard from my friend that you can't carry around a bag that is bigger than our school planner..but I don't think it's true. I have a messenger bag right now, that I'm having second thoughts about, I also have this medium sized bag that zips up and also goes over your shoulder. I don't know if I'll be able to go to any stores tomorrow because I've been driving my mom insane with all my uncertainty running me to all these stores and malls today. And I don't shop at AE, Hollister, A&F, or Aeropostle, because that's what everybody else has and wears and shops, and I hate wearing and using what everybody else is using, but I also don't like to stand out so much. I'm very shy and quiet. I kind of like to go with the style but I also like to be different in some ways, that aren't always noticable; In some ways I pretty much have my own style....

Am I confusing you?

Sorry if I am. I just need some suugestions or answer.

Maybe some encouragement...

:D

Thanks in advance. hehe

Answer 1

I left my books in my locker, you have time between classes to switch them out.

You'll have time to pick up your lunch, it lasts a minimum of 45 mins.

Don't fret, HS can be fun if you let it.  Give ur mom a hug and thank her for her help.

Answer 2

haha well if this helps, practically ever other freshman there will be having the same problem.

im just gonna bring a pen to class ill take books home later

but just remember nobody cares how you dress or look on your first day, all they care about is what they look like...

just chill out high school isn't bad or scary and don't get nervous lol

and if you need to just take your lunch with you, but my school is so packed sometimes we don't even have time to eat so taking it with you would be a good idea

good luck lol

Answer 3

it depends because if u get a lot of books u should definitely carry a bag, believe I'm a in high school to and have AP classes and i carry a lot of books so get a bag, but if don't get a lot of books just put them in ur locker

Answer 4

Well if your school allows totes.messenger bags,then I would recommened using that to carry your books and binders,because that stuff can get heavey and papers can fall out of binders and whatnot,but a bag would prevent all that.

I had 7 classes lat year,and the first semester I went to my locker once a day,to switch out books,but since you only have 4 periods,then you wont need to switch out books in your locker.

You can just take home the books for the next day,then switch them out overnight.

Now about the clothes and style, I am just like you,I hate being like everyone else,so just be yourself,and wear what you want,you dont have to be like everyone else at all. That is a good thing not to be like every one else,cause that makes you a leader,not a follower.

Just make your own style,like I usually wear a tee and jeans,or capris.

And sometimes I wear those shirt/dress things that are long and are pretty in style,but I never let anyone tell me what I should look like or wear.

Its better to be yourself than be a clone of 500 other people.

Hope I could help :D

Answer 5

yeah im going into high school too  soon....im sure they wont care what size your bag is...i mean your in high school they give you soo much more freedom and im sure they wont be patrolling that stuff....as for books just keep them in your locker and if your late they wont care because your not used to the school and your just starting and after a few weeks you'll get used to the school and know what you need to do to get to class on time....as for clothes just buy whatever you like and go from there...hope i helped.....-Jayme-
