Mercy_x_Me's advice column

I just moved here from a different state & I'm starting school on Monday next week. I'm extremely nervous, I've never moved schools before & I'm 15. Pretty much, my question is: At lunch, I'll probably be sitting by myself. Does anyone have any suggestions on some things I could do to interest me, while sitting at lunch by myself. I don't want to look stupid and just sit there and stare around at people. I want to be able to do something. I'm not going up to people and asking them to sit with them because, I'm not that type of person. Thanks for your help.

There's alot of stuff you can do. This is a very interesting question, I actually happen to really like it. Well first off-- though you may not believe it, you might make some friends before lunch. I'm not asking you to go up and be super friendly to anyone just smile and try and make a polite attempt at making friends. Still, if you find yourself alone ... you can :

Read, Listen to Music, Draw/Doodle, Write (make stories, poems), go to the bathroom and talk on your cell phone (if you have one), Go to the computer lab and surf the web, Work on some school work if you have any the first day, Knit if you can, Do lanyard, Bead...

all sorts of stuff. If you need anymore help let me know. Hope all goes well! You'll do fine...it's an exciting chance to make new friends.
