How was your first day of highschool?

First day of highschool!!!?

  • so I have only a little over two months until I'm done with 8th grade and im kind of freaking out!!! I go to a really small private school, only like 30 kids in each grade, and I've gone to that same school since kindergarten. so really I kind of haven't had to make any friends since then and im afraid I won't b able to in highschool! and im going to like the biggest highschool in my city. very scary. and none of my friends will be going to the same school. also, I am going to be put in my french class with the juniors and my math class with the sophmores!!! because I already did algebra 1 and french 1 and 2, here at my middle school. what do I wear on the first day of school?? im girly, and kind of preppy? what do I bring? do you usually do work on the first day?? do I bring my lunch or buy it? where do I sit in the lunch room??? how do I make new friends?? what if I get lost! aaah!!! I just need tips, because I am SO nervous :S

  • Answer:

    dont worry..just chill. just be really friendly and talk and make conversations w/ ppl.Yeah,the 1st days will be a little scary but just keep calm.Look at fashion magazines to help you get an idea.Dont worry of what to bring to school,you shouldnt have any work to do,its like getting to know eachother week, Oh and nobody brings lunch much,,just buy there...and thats about it.Dont be shy..because you wont make friends..:)hope this helps.and goodluck

I understand what your going through. I was extremely nervous when I started high school. Those 4 years go by fast. Just be yourself , bring or buy ur lunch depending on what is there that day, um where jeans and a preppy or girly shirt. If you get lost ask someone or ask a teacher they will help you. Just breathe you will be just fine. Good luck and have fun!

well,remeber that everyone will be new so no one will know anyone.The teachers will do some introductions like what ur name ectra ectra.Stay calm.Its a school,Just like your old one but on a larger scale.try and mix with people from your class.Keep in mind that there are loads of new people.Act like normal.Then your likely to find some mates who you will enjoy to be with,.

You will be alright on the fist day, just don't mix with the wrong crowd...and try and get to know other people.Go on the internet and learn more about your high school they should have a website. Teachers always treat you like gold on the first few months sometimes...you will be okay ..Be yourself!

Your current school should help you prepare for all the vitals. Anyway, good luck :)

Ahh I remember my first day, I was mad scared..but once you get there all the scary goes away...I would wear something cute, but something you're comfortable in so you won't be all nervous about how you look..and I say take a big purse you can fit a notebook in..you usually don't do work but the teachers tell you what all you need for the class so you should write that down..I would but your lunch..and sit with some people that you have seen in your classes, more than likely they are as nervous as you are! and just be yourself..you will make friends..it seems scary but it's not..and if you get lost just ask a teach for help..at my school they where standing outside the door until the bell rang the first couple of days to help students..sooo just don't stress too much and you will make it :) it's honestly not that bad :D

the first day of high school is always nerve racking, and especially for kids who have to start fresh not knowing anybody, so let me give you some tips. as for what to wear i suggest you get a cute outfit from abercrombie and fitch, here i'll post some links on what you should look for: try a polo, from first look i like the light blue, dark blue, and light coral but really you can't go wrong with any of the colors :) http://www.abercrombie.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10051&catalogId=10901&productId=490577&langId=-1&categoryId=12253&parentCategoryId=12203&colorSequence=05 and T's are a good second choice ; http://www.abercrombie.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10051&catalogId=10901&productId=474028&langId=-1&categoryId=12702&parentCategoryId=12205&colorSequence=03 next would be your skinny jeans, pick your wash ,i like 'dark'. and your jeans can be from pacsun, they are less pricey there http://www.abercrombie.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10051&catalogId=10901&productId=488766&langId=-1&categoryId=12261&parentCategoryId=12203&colorSequence=03 if you can wear ripped jeans at your HS i say go with one similar to these: http://www.abercrombie.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10051_10901_423521_-1_12261_12203 shoes are VERY important , i say go with a flat shoe : http://www.shoes.com/Shopping/ProductDetails.aspx?p=68854 http://www.shoes.com/Shopping/ProductDetails.aspx?p=EC1164908 http://www.shoes.com/Shopping/ProductDetails.aspx?p=EC1116478 http://www.shoes.com/Shopping/ProductDetails.aspx?p=EC1079763 http://www.shoes.com/Shopping/ProductDetails.aspx?p=EC1091578 as for backpacks , 'the North face' bags are very in.(go with black) http://www.thenorthface.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=10301&storeId=207&catalogId=10201&langId=-1&from=&parent_category_rn=&variationId=001# you will most likely get a list of what you need and if you dont your teacher will tell you what you need , no big deal you dont do too much the first few days anyways buy your lunch bring like $5, and be very open and friendly to everyone, ask questions to start a convo. and introduce yourself "hi, im _____by the way" with a big smile . start adding people on myspace from other schools , get to know a few people BEFORE school starts , and thats who you can look for in you lunch room. approach the people that seem like YOU would be friends with, so if you see someone else wearing a&f or that look like you would have things in common with , go up to them and say hi, its important not to be shy your first day, and to stay looking happy and positive :) if you get lost it isnt a big deal , many other freshmen will be lost with you lol. if you go to the wrong classroom just laugh it off, you'll get it right the next day for sure. at my school i got a map , showing where all the rooms are located because my high school is spread out like a campus having multiple buildings even a few across the street so we have a tunnel . I CANT STRESS ENOUGH TO MEMORIZE YOUR SCHEDULE BEFORE YOU GO TO SCHOOL! GET THE ROOM #'S DOWN , TEACHER, WHERE THERE LOCATED, IT WILL HELP YOU A BUNCH! good luck , hope i answered all your questions because i spent forever writing all this lol :)

You need to relax! You are too stressed out about something that's not going to happen for a few months. My dad was in the Navy and I had to change schools, often. I was always the "new kid". Just be yourself. Treat your first day as all the other freshman will, as a new adventure. There are probably a lot of other students that are going to be as nervous as you. You are going to be just fine. Don't stress about things until you need to or you are going to have gray hair before you're 20! Lighten up and have fun. You are going meet new friends and have new experiences. This is the most exciting time you are headed for. Enjoy it! Don't dread it. Be excited and happy that you are about to start a new chapter in your life.

Can you go to summer school at your new school? It will be worth it, you'll get acclimated, meet some new friends, see how they tend to dress (but probably a little nicer than summer school during the school year). You can meet a 10th or 11th grader to ask the first day schedule. It's different depending on schools. Sometimes you get right into the work, sometimes it's book distribution, assembly, etc, it all depends. = ) Ask about lunch if you go to summer school. You can bring your lunch, but bring $$ to check out the cafeteria even if you have lunch. Maybe you will make a friend before lunch on your first day and you can hang with them, either in the cafeteria or where those who bring lunches hang out. If you go during summer school, you can make an effort to learn the school. If you don't go to summer school, go to the school over the summer, if it's open, to figure out the lay out. If you get lost -- ask where to go! = ) Don't worry about the classes you're taking, in a big school you won't be the only one. A girl who is going from my son's private k - 8 (with grades the same size as yours) to a big public school is in my son's Geometry class this year, so she'll be ahead of most of the 9th graders, and will have to take Algebra II with older kids, but there will be other 9th graders in her class. Her brother goes to the school so he let her in on what goes on. If you know anyone who goes to your high school, or your friends do, talk to them. Kids like to talk about their school, don't worry about asking! Try not to be nervous. It will be an exciting experience for you! Good luck!
