So, today was the first day of school :D well, i'm a freshman in a new highschool, but I have a few classes with upperclassmen. During art, some random senior guy sat down next to me and it was reallllyyyy awkward. He seems pretty cool though and i'd like to get to know him a bit better, because I want to make some new friends this year :) any tips on over coming this awkwardness? Thanks!

What better common interest than art?! Maybe try complimenting his work next time, or even ask him a question like "how do you get your shading like that" or whatever you maybe doing that particular day. It can be as simple as asking him for a pencil. Once you break the ice initially, you won't believe how easy it will be to talk to him. Right now, you are your own worst enemy. You need to stop worrying about feeling awkward. You are making yourself feel that way. Be confident. Stop thinking of him as the 'senior' and remember that he is just a student in the class (just like you). I hope that everything works out for ya babe! Confidence is EVERYTHING!

and to get to know people and make friends find stuff you have in common. ex. - art, sports, hobbies, friends in common, etc.
and to start conversations one of the best ways to break the ice is to compliment someone. everyone loves a compliment :)
