What are some tips for the first day/year of highschool? ?

Question

I'm going to be starting my first year of higschool in about 15 days. I am insanely nervous already. My highschool has around 600 - 700 people in it, and it's in a smaller town. I get really nervous easily. Are there any tips on how to survive the first year of highschool or at least the first day?

Answer 1

Just calm down. Make sure you know where your classes are. And I know this will sound really obvious, but make sure you get all your work done on time. When it's due, make sure it's in your backpack. There were several times last year (I was a freshman) when I lost a lot of points because I didn't write down the due date, or it didn't make it into my backpack. If you don't feel like doing your work, force yourself. Tell yourself that if you don't do it, you'll be tortured in a puppy-maiming factory or something like that. It works.  

Answer 2

just be confident, lol i remember my first high school days, i was crying, atleast you dont do that. Im in UNI now and think that if i were you, i would be confident and very happy that you passed you primary school exams. Just relax! School is not as bad as we think it is. My tips would be to dress up smartly, speak to as many people as you can, make friends on the first day, go around the school and ask someone who is older than you to help you. they will introduce you in the school. Be happy! eat chocolates on the first day, lots haha lol!

Good to know you made it! keep it up!
