The first day of school is never easy for most, which makes the first day of
high school a little more intimidating. So for all the new freshmen this year,
embarking on the adventure that is adjusting to high school lifestyle can be
pretty tough. There is just an immense amount of things that we are just not at
all used to.

When you have finally learned how to get to all of your classes (and what
classes you even have), what your teachers' names are, potentially what your
classmates' names are, and a lot more, you then must get comfortable with
the work. While many upperclassmen will be used to the amount and difficulty
of work you receive in high school, the transition from middle school can seem
pretty drastic. Although we all felt like we were going to flunk out of this school the
first couple weeks of classes, all it took was some learning - not only adapting to all
kinds of new lessons that teachers taught, but also learning their individual
styles of instruction.

Some tips to make the transition easier:
1. Don’t be afraid to ask for help from your teacher! It will help your grade and potentially
create a beneficial student-teacher relationship.
2. Do not over-pack your bag or buy too many separate supplies because it can be difficult to go to

your locker and more stuff=more stress.
3.DO NOT PROCRASTINATE - I myself am a huge procrastinator and it is not good to do
in high school.
4.Join some clubs or extracurriculars so you have a place free of stress. Also, it can be
good for college applications, which you will thank yourself later for.
5.Have fun and don’t let people or schoolwork get to you - it can be very hard but just try to
worry less.
