Hey y'all! Welcome back today I'm going to be re-caping all the things i learned as a freshman! I hope this help put you at peace for high school and makes you excited for this fun journey! 1. be open minded The first piece of advice i have for you is to be open minded. Be ready for change this isn't what you're used to, but you can do this. Talk to the person next you even if you don't know them. The easiest way to make friends is to talk to people just be nice! Getting to know the people in your classes is key to having a enjoyable year. Besides you never know when you will need some one to help you with homework, eat with at lunch, or walk to class with. 2. plug in Find something to belong to this is very important because this is where you find your people. Join a club or sport you are interested in and love because then you will find a whole group of people you already have something in common with! BOOM, FRIENDS. 3. be super nice to your teachers THIS IS SO IMPORTANT. Be a good kid, put in the work in their class, ask questions, get help, talk to your teachers THEY ARE SUPER COOL PEOPLE. Because if you become comfortable with your teachers and get to know them and they get to know you as a student they can help you. YOUR TEACHERS ARE NOT TRYING TO FAIL YOU. Students failing looks so bad on teachers they don't want that, so if you're struggling talk to them work it out 9 times out of10 they are more than happy to help. Even if you don't like them and they are difficult be nice give them grace, because if you give them grace most of the time they will give you grace, and we all make mistakes. (even teachers) 4. your future starts now don't waste itHere you are, high school. Welcome to the big leagues we aren't in middle school anymore we've begun a whole new ball game. YOUR GRADES COUNT NOW BTW. Do not dismiss your school work because you're a freshman. Don't not join clubs because you are a freshman. Every opportunity you have to start building your college resume starts now. And yeah maybe it won't hurt you in the long run, but you also may be looking back as a senior thinking "i wish when i was a freshman..." because you barely get beat out of an acceptance letter, scholarship, or internship because of a dumb decision you made as a freshman. Don't survive high school thrive in it. 5. challenge yourselfIt's ok for you to be challenged it makes you a better person and student. Don't take the easy way out, make sure you are learning to the capacity you should be. Because its more fun to feel accomplished and work hard than to be lazy and bored. 6. have funYou only get to do high school once take advantage of it. It's important to take school seriously but this is still supposed to be the best time of your life so: Join the club, Try out for the team, Talk to the kid in 5th period, Sit with you lab partner at lunch, Go to the game, ask someone to Homecoming, audition for the play DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY AND ENJOY YOURSELF! i had so much fun freshman year an i hope these tips help you make yours enjoyable!!!! |
