Advice For Incoming High School Freshmen! (or other grades)

Some of you may be starting high school soon so I decided to write down and share some tips that may help you  other grades as well!

1.) Don't try to act better than anyone else (this applies to anytime in life too!) you are a freshman, the youngest ones in the whole school. Seniors won't think you are cool so don't even try. Just remember YOU ARE A FRESHMAN!

2.) Know that high school is not what it appears to be on TV. You won't get shoved in a locker, get your lunch money stolen, or be able to talk to your friends for 20 minutes between classes.

3.) Don't block the hallways! If you do the upperclassmen will have no sympathy and walk right through you or start yelling at you to move faster. No one likes someone that blocks the hallways we all have somewhere to go and are limited on time.

4.) This connects with the last one. Don't be a slow walker! This is probably  one of the most annoying things ever! Like I said before we all have places to go and are limited on time!

5.) Use study halls and free periods to your advantage! Don't waste these away staring at the wall or scrolling through twitter on your phone. Get your homework done so you won't have so much to do when you get home.

6.) Know there will be an end. Freshmen year will eventually come to a close to don't get stressed. Just know that you can get through it

7.) Get your homework done ASAP. Don't procrastinate! Once you hit high school you have more responsibility and are no longer babied. You need to be more mature and take matters in to your own hands.

8.) Get involved in extra-curricular activities! If sports aren't your thing join clubs. You do need to start thinking about college even if you don't want to think about it. Joining clubs will look good on college applications and will give you a chance to meet new people!

9.) Participate! Go to football games (or anysporting event), participate in pep-rallys, you will be happy you did!

10.) Enjoy high school in general because before you know it you'll be a senior.

I hope you enjoyed this blog post! and hope it helped you!
