  • Since I'm a graduated gal, I thought to share some high school advice on freshman year, things I wish I knew, and generally how to survive. These tips involve both classes and your social life, so get ready for some lit times (lol sorry).

    Freshmen
    1: wear deodorant and take showers daily
    2: don't run in the halls or stand in the middle of the hallway
    3: You can talk to upperclassmen and ask questions but don't be overly bearing, it's annoying.
    4: HS isn't that bad if you pay attention in class and aren't trying to hard or be cool or whatever.
    5: Try to make friends on the first day. If you have a couple good friends throughout high school you'll have a great experience.
    Good Luck Freshies!
    edit: thanks for all the feedback guys! the take showers daily was kinda just telling people to shower. you have no idea how many people i’ve sat behind in class and smell like b.o. please just wear deodorant. and lots of people are nervous on their first day so don’t be afraid to talk to people. Hope you have an awesome first year! p.s. it goes by so fast. i’m already done with high school and i’m going to college next semester 💕💕💕

    1. Don't juul, especially in the bathroom, it's annoying (plus it's a huge expense you cannot afford)
    2. DON'T SKIP CLASS, you are going to regret it, trust me
    3. Become friends with your teachers! They exist to help and nine times outta ten they have a sense of humor
    4. Get to know upperclassmen. They're not as scary as you think. They love to help you out, and if you're lucky they might take you to lunch and give you some more advice (NOTE: usually it's not a good idea to date them either if you're a freshman or sophomore)
    5. Take some challenging classes even if you don't feel like it. I promise when college comes, those classes will have been worth it
    6. If you can, do your homework in class or during lunch so that you can have a life after school. The sooner the better, I promise
    That's it, hope this helps💕

    • don’t shout out to your friend in the middle of the hallway
    • never block the hallways (if you’re going to walk slow don’t be in the middle)
    • take AP and duel enrollment classes (dual enrollment is good for over the summer)
    • online courses are your friend
    • never do the bare minimum (ex. take 4 years of math/science, and at least 3+ years of language) - colleges love this
    • do extra-curricular like sports and clubs to meet new people
    • take classes that relate to either your interests and potential future jobs
    • nobody cares what you wear and nobody notices/cares if you wear the same shirt or something twice
    • getting a B or missing a homework assignment isn’t the end of the world... in the grand scheme of things, it’s not a big deal
    • ask for extra credit or help in class if you are struggling
    • enjoy highschool, you only have 4 years. make some friends, talk to those people next to you, try new sports/clubs, go out with friends, live life.

      I'm going into high school next year but just from middle school I can tell you that I I freaking hate it when they're just people standing in the middle of the hallway socializing like I like to get to my locker grab my stuff and get to my class I found that if you get to class earlier it's better than walking in last minute cuz you already kind of are set up and ready to go while other people are still trying to pull out their stuff also me and my best friend are literally afraid to socialize with anyone that isn't in the 9th grade

    Top tips I received:
    1:Dont "try to look cool" and make a scene of yourself, it will set your bars low.
    2: If your going to copy something(papers or sum) then put it out of order, and change a lot of words.
    3:Dont be mean to look tuff
    4:Do what you want, and what you like, not your friends.
    5:Make at least one friend, and if you cant, then talk to someone who looks like they also cant.
    6: this tip is for making friends. To make friends, just while partner activities, ask to be with them, then you have to socialize.
    7:For the love of god don't date seniors
    8: Dont lisen to random elders.
    9:Have fun and dont think "I will look stupid" or "What if"
    10: set goals for the year/term
    11:dont be a wuss.
    12: DO NOT do drugs
    Edit: 100+ likes thank yall

    1. Take at least 1 AP class every year to boost your GPA
    2. Do your homework
    3. Don’t walk slowly and don’t stand in the middle of the hallway
    4. Take at least 1 class that you love (for me it was chorus)
    5. Go to every dance your school offers to make some good memories
    6. Ask that guy/girl out
    7. And lastly, have fun and don’t stress too much, high school doesn’t last forever.

My advice is to just try and not be so worried, if you get lost the first couple of days your teachers will understand and more than likely not even mark you as tardy. High school can be a living hell but just go with the flow and be yourself. It’ll be okay :)

      Peyton Self Yes girl, befriend upperclassmen. They can give you all the advice you need about high school. As long as you're not one of those entitled freshman, they won't hate you. The whole freshman bullying thing isn't true. The Seniors are too busy with colleges to even take time to bully underclassmen, Juniors are too busy with AP classes, Sophomores are likely to befriend freshman. I cried watching my senior friend's graduate, that's how close I became with them. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me!

      Peyton Self I can't say much about AP because my school didn't allow freshman to take them, however I did take honors classes. Taking AP classes are good because even if you don't pass the exam, you have experience to better yourself in the future. Also colleges would rather see that you tested yourself and tried hard by taking difficult classes. My advice is study your notes throughly, and everyday for as long as you can (whether that's 15min or 2hrs). If you feel yourself getting distracted, take a quick break. Don't overwork yourself and know your limits. Also if your teacher gives you an optional study guide *use it* . I once saw an AP Bio teacher give her class and optional study guide, then she told them that they can use whatever they wrote down for the test.

      It’s genuinely not that bad, I’m class of 2022. If we’re back to learning in school for the new year, try to go to open house and learn the ways to your classes. Skipping class is really worth it, people will make fun of you if you skip in the bathroom 😭. Keep your grades up, it’s easier to maintain a 3.0+ gpa than to have like a 2.5 gpa and try to bring it up. Don’t feel pressured into taking AP classes if you don’t want to. Lockers aren’t really that important, especially if you don’t have all 7/8 periods in one day. It’s kinda annoying when people take up most of the hallway to talk, so don’t do that. Your freshman year, you won’t actually be able to “choose your classes” unless you took some courses over summer, depending your school, two of your electives will be P.E. and Health.

      it isn't that bad if you prepare yourself properly and let go of middle school, start off high school with a fresh slate, don't put up too many expectations, understand your schools academic or sport rigor, so you can understand how to get by, understand when you should drop a class, so many people are scared of it, but from experience, I wish I dropped from my honors alg II class, my mental health is still severely damaged from it. Volunteer hours! get those in during your freshman and sophomore year, as school is going to only get more rigorous and stressful. AP classes and Dual Enrollment should be given thought, but only take AP classes that you are INTERESTED in and have good teachers, I wish I knew this before my AP exams this year. Go to club intros, and only stay in clubs you are passionate about or can benefit from. Force yourself to make friends, everyone is new to the school, and scared to break out of their shell, so go ahead, start new friendships. Befriend your upperclassmen, they can and usually will become your mentors throughout the school year. Take the more difficult or unappealing classes during summer school, if you are able to! Befriend some of your teachers, so that they will be able to provide good advice, and later on, good recommendations. also, prepare your college list the summer before junior year, and do tours during the school year, and start your college apps at the end of junior year, begin by asking for recommendations near the end of the school year.

    Honeeey....
    1.Choose your friends wisely, needing a big group of friends is bullshit, you just need few but loyal peeps to trust.
    2. You will experience identity crisis so althroughout your highschool years focus on discovering yourself, try new things, find out what you love and like and do it!
    3. Grades don’t define you but it does matter think about your parents.
    4. Love life and dating isn’t exactly relevant in hightschool, you may feel like you need to be in a relationship at high school but....No, you don’t. Take your time, love yourself and just enjoy your high school life.
    5. keep in mind that there will be teachers that will beat the crap out of you.

I have one more term left (10 weeks) of high school, and the exams next term, and let me tell you, i regret no LIVING in my younger years as if it were my last. Time flies by SO FAST as you get older. This isnespecially for my fellow Aussies, who grow up with their mates from year 7-12. Good luck.

    As someone who graduated today as a valedictorian who got along with literally every student in my grade. Make the social side your priority. Your friends are your family in highschool. The classes, the work all that kinda stuff is important and try and find a way to enjoy every subject but it’s really such a small part of what you’ll remember. At times highschool will feel like the rest of your life. Like the drama, chaos, endless work piles and restless nights will never end. But I promise you it’ll feel like only a couple of months went by when it’s all over. As far as making new friends or anything it’ll come naturally. People like you are out there and will find you. As far as the whole “be yourself and you can’t fail” idea is concerned I don’t really agree. Go in with the idea of letting highschool take you where it will. Your friends or whoever you meet in the first few days won’t be the same a month later and neither will you. You change so fast in highschool it’s almost unbelievable. It’s scary but it is So. Much. Fun. This is the perfect time in your life to follow your dreams and live to the fullest. Now that doesn’t mean go drug yourself up and get shitfaced every week like some kids will. But if you’re not one of those people (I’m sure as hell not) don’t be afraid of those kinds of folks. Some of my best friends are party animals and while some of that stuff isn’t really for me we get along great. And for anyone whose more introverted and is really freaked out by the ideas of the social interactions that great. Truly. Anyone who says that being introverted is worse than being extroverted is out of their minds. This world absolutely needs both. The time you spend and the relationship you build with yourself in highschool will let you hone in on any skills, hobby’s or dreams that you have and give you a whole other level of confidence in your abilities. I can’t really say don’t be scared or don’t worry cause I was terrified my first day. Genuinely scared like I’d never been before. But I wouldn’t take being afraid back for a second. As an anxious kid any field trips, events or anything that wasn’t the normal school day got me pretty worked up. But even those moments I wouldn’t change for a second. You should take it one day at a time but keep in mind the whole four years is one of the biggest adventures you’ll ever live through. Highschool can be so much fun. I really hope anyone who is reading this finds a way to make it the adventure of a lifetime like I did. Savour every moment. It’ll be grad before you know.

    • @captk5535
      @captk5535 Před 2 lety

      @@galacticgiselle9327 that’s definitely a tougher situation but I definitely think that when you meet people IRL for the first time even though you’re a sophomore it’ll kinda be like day one as a freshman anyway. (Socially at least). I’m not sure about you but I know for me any of the new students who joined in our year while we were virtual were kinda hard to get to know. When things look more normal I know it’s really basic advice but what I now know to be true is try and be as normal and genuine as you can. I found the social side of highschool was totally just a fake it till you make it kinda deal. I really didn’t know what I was doing but at the start I tried to talk to as many people as I could and just be someone that other folks would be comfortable talking too given most of the other kids were probably gonna be pretty nervous for their first day of highschool too. At the start don’t try and come on too strong but make a name for yourself and let people know you. The more open you are and confident you are in being as transparent with people as you can be the more they will naturally gravitate towards you. Confidence is really just learning to play off embarrassing things. Highschool is kinda the breeding ground for embarrassment and we as people are programmed to run from embarrassment but if you can find a way to laugh at yourself harder than other people can laugh at you and play it off well that entire fear will disappear. Idk what more I can say about that and I’m not sure if any of that was helpful but I genuinely hope it was. Your situation isn’t one I’ve had to deal with first hand in the past so all I can really give you is my reference point based on what I know but I know that in highschool if you’re absurdly over confident you have nothing to be worried about and you’ll make friends quick. You don’t have to be friends with anyone and having a few close friends is better than getting socially exhausted trying to please everyone but I’d definitely say try and get along with all types of people from all different walks of life. At the end of the day the most important thing is being comfortable in your own skin and when you look back after every day and in a few years look back over the whole experience you can know in your heart you gave it your all and were as good a person as you could be.

    I’m a junior fixing to be a senior and the stuff I wish I knew before starting:
    - there’s no freshman Friday’s, thank the lord.
    - my counselors and people like that are not actually that helpful.
    - teachers are more strict.
    - a lot of snobby upperclassmen.
    - getting judged and picked on for liking kpop.
    - you’ll find it much easier to get rid of the people who don’t care about you as much as you thought.
    Honestly I just stayed the same as I was, only kept to my friends. My anxiety got worse in high school and a lot of stress was put on me. All my teachers bitched about good grades and shit and often times I would zone out. My school isn’t really that helpful because the counselors were just not even helpful or anyone isn’t helpful. And I’m honestly just want senior year to fly by so I can be out of school and not have to worry.
    But you will make good memories and there are teachers who can be your best friend and stuff like that but I guess it how you put yourself. For freshman, don’t be so nervous there’s nothing to really worry about. Some upper class people can be very annoying but just ignore them.
    This upper class person was coming into the gym at my school one time and I literally watched this happened. He went to the door and pulled on it and it was locked and I pointed to the other door right beside it because it was open and then he got all bitchy about it because I didn’t do it for him.
    Don’t go so hard on yourself, you’ll regret it. Just take it easy and go with the flow. Don’t stress over the amount of work that you’ll have, yes it can be a lot but you’ll eventually get through it.
