How To Handle That Scary First Day of Back-To-School

• This is going to sound really dumb and superficial, but look nice. I mean, looks aren't everything, but especially if you are going to a new school you want to make a good impression. I mean think about it, would you rather walk up to someone who is wearing some nice clothes and looks interesting and talk or walk up to someone who looks disorganized and is wearing, like, clothes with stains and stuff on them? It's not a super big deal and it's not like no one will talk to you because you don't do this, and you don't have to wear like a fancy dress or anything just dress like yourself.
• Be friendly, nice, and dont be afraid to talk to new people! If you see that someone else is new to the school, and you aren't, go up to them and talk. You might be able to be great friends with them, but you won't know that if you don't ever talk to them! And if YOU are the new one, dont be afraid to talk to people. Go up to someone you see and try striking up a conversation with them to see what they are about. It could start with something as harmless as "Do you know what subject we have next?" and it could turn into a discussion on how the Raptors are doing this year, and BOOM! you have a friend. And just because they are the first person you meet, and you become friends with them the first day of school doesnt mean that you have to be BFF's with them forever. So get out there and be, well.... YOU!
• Dont pretend to be someone you're not just to fit in with a crowd. If someone says they like skateboarding and asks if you do, dont feel pressured to say yes, even if you have never been on a skateboard before. Sometimes the best fo friends have almost nothing in common, and just because you dont like the skateboarding, you might both love reading so just be you and soon you will find a group where you fit in.

On the first day, I recommend that you bring a pencilcase filled with pencils, pens, pencil crayons, markers, etc. , a couple of binders to hold all the forms and handouts you get, and obviously your backpack, lunchbag, etc. Teachers will specify what you need exactly for class, and if you need anything else I am sure there is a Staples or something a quick drive away.

A couple of days before school starts, I would try waking up and going to bed at the times that you will need to during the school years. And once you have talked to all your teachers and have everything you need, things will start to feel right and you will get into the school routine. Just always try your best at remembering your supplies, classes and homework and keep ahead in your studies.
