• Answer:

  Getting through high school easier- join a club because it not only looks good on your college transcript but you make friends in all grades. Homework- everyone says it but don't procrastinate. Other than that all you have to do is remember what was assigned and do it. Write it down in a homework organizer if that's your style. Teachers- there are good teachers and bad teachers. Hopefully you get more of the former. Participate in class. It's usually part of your grade. They are pretty understanding about getting lost or having locker trouble in the first week. Other students- If they are freshmen like you well stick together to get through your first day/ week. Everyone's nervous. Dealing with upperclassmen- respect them. If not, they may remember you and that isn't good for later on. Lockers- Don't leave it unattended. Write your combo and keep it in your wallet if you haven't memorized it. Lots of schools have the combination at the school office. All you need is your locker number and ID to get it usually. Cafeteria food- Generally is bad though I'm sure there are schools with good food. Bring a sandwich from home. Enjoy the next 4 years of your life. Be yourself and you'll meet people like you. And good luck. It's not all studying. I didn't really get any tips when I was a freshmen. My siblings basically said it's not much different and they were upperclassmen when I entered so that helped a little. Wear something comfortable/ be yourself with your clothing.
