How to Survive First Day of High School

Uhhh Ohhh! You survived junior high, but now the biggest challenge of all: high school! But I swear you WILL survive your first day.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• You
• School Supplies
• Confidence

1. Registraion! This is usually about 2 weeks before school and at registration you will most likely recieve your schedule, ID, PE clothes, books and more. You will turn in you paper work and take you yearbook picture. This is a good time to get the lay of the land.

2. Get all school shopping done.

3. Go online and print out a map of your school. Grab your schedule and star all of you classes. Then map out the route you will take to get from class to class. At this time you should also read all the school rules and dress code.

4. Pick out an outfit that you feel comfortable in! You need to feel confident about the way you look.

5. The night before network with your friends. See if you can carpool so you can walk on campus with one of your friends. Also make sure you all know where you're going to meet and hang out at brunch and lunch.

6. Morning of: leave yourself plenty of time to get ready. Once ready, give yourslef plenty of time to get to school. For example if you live 10 minutes away from school, and school starts at 8, I would leave your house at 7:20. This may seem excessive but you don't want to be late and that way you can get a feel for the school.

7. YOU HAVE ARRIVED! OK don't get too worried. 1/4 of of the student body at your school are in the same boat! Now find your first class, relax and hang with your friends until the bell rings! Good luck!

Tips & Warnings

• Be confudent!
• Don't act cocky or like you own the school. They can smell a Freshman from a mile away and it looks silly if you try to act like you aren't confused or nervous or HUMAN. ;-)
