Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category? Maybe give some free advice about: School?

A lot of people ask this on the website, and the answer is not going to change. I've answered this question 100 times, and i'll say what i'll always say.
High School Is Not That Bad.
The first day is scary. The first day is always scary. But you have freshman orientation and I guarentee that you aren't the only one nervous. Take advantage of the situation and make some friends. On your first day you'll walk to your homeroom and the teacher will talk to you and tell you everything you need to know. He or She will tell you where your classes are and how to get there. If you have any questions then would be the time to ask. Try making a different set of friends in every class. That way, by the second day you'll have friends.

Try not to be too shy, talk to people, let people talk to you, and remember that all of your fellow freshmen are pretty much in the exact same place you are. Scared, worried, and a bit excited.
2) Find something social you like doing, and do it. I played sports, was part of a few clubs, and while some of the things offered in high school I considered kind of lame, its a good idea to get involved with something you can enjoy so that you have a way to get to know some new people with the activity you do together being a common basis for conversation.
3) Dont worry about "your impression". Every girl that was ever hated in high school spent her entire high school life consumed with worry about how people viewed her. Be yourself, and gravitate towards people that see you the way you want to be seen BASED ON WHO YOU REALLY ARE ;-)
4) Remember this for the next 4 years. Almost everyone you know during high school you will not spend much time with past a year out of high school. Nothing they think about you really matters. And high school is nothing like real life.

Don't sweat it sweetheart you'll be fine, everybody gets nervous when they start highschool, I was when I started highschool but my freshmen yr. turned out pretty awesome, that was my fastest yr. and your freshmen yr. should too, its a new experience and you learn alot of things that the yr. just flies by fast you won't notice until its the end of the yr! Just be yourself, dress comfortable and casual, never over dress yourself on the first day of school cause some people will be like "Why do people always like dressing up so much on the first day of school?" so dress comfortable and casual. And when you have orientation go with a friend, or someone you know, during freshmen orientation they usually let you take a view of the school walking around so pair up with a friend so you wouldn't feel awkward around other people, you probably haven't seen much of your friends all summer so you'll be happy to see each other. You'll be fine sweetheart and enjoy youself! :) [ phatdopelove's advice column | Ask phatdopelove A Question ]
