Be confident and try new things. Trying a new sporting especially in the fall is a great way to meet new people. I know it is nerve-racking at first but if you have confidence people will gravitate towards you. Freshman year is full of many new experiences so embrace them!! Michaela O'Connor :)

About half way through the year your computer will start to die REAL FAST! So bring a charger to school or make sure to save your battery (i.e. changing brightness) throughout the day.

Please actually eat! I know too many people who skip lunch for various reasons and crash later in the day. Nobody cares how many times you go up to get food so YOU GO GURL!!

small assignments like mircroquizzes, reading quizzes, and vhl add up, so even though they are not worth a lot, still work hard on them.

Organize your google drive at the beginning of the year

Do all your homework even if you do not think the teacher is going to check it (ex. reading, notes) the teacher will eventually check it usually and it's better to do the work on time than to scramble to do it late

Keep your loose papers organized in several folders or a binder. It's important to have a place for loose papers in every subject. Also it is good to keep tests that you have taken over the year to help you study for the exams at the end of the year (keep those at home).

Use your breaks and free lunch blocks to meet with your teachers and ask for help if needed.

You won't be able to attain as much information if you stay up to study. So instead, go to sleep, and you will be able to stay awake during your test or whatever else you were studying for.

1) Do all your homework the day you get it so you dont fall behind.
2) Be productive during your frees.

Even if you are very enthusiastic about doing three seasons of sports, I would not recommend it because sports are a big time commitment.

My five tips for surviving freshman year.

My five tips for surviving freshman year.

# data[].attributes.body
1) DO YOUR HOMEWORK, just do it, don't fall behind on it, get it done early so you can chill.
2) Don't use your phone in class unless told to, its rude and all you texts and stuff will be there at break. Same for your computer, if its out in class its for academic purposes, Netflix isn't going anywhere.
3) Use your frees, do some work, get stuff done, But remember if you really need a break than give yourself one, find a nice place to sit back and breath, you don't need to work yourself to death.
4) If you have a test, homework assessment. project, ect... and you don't have a clue of what your doing, ask a teacher, in case you forgot the teachers here are not trying to fail you, they are trying their hardest to make you do your best, and there friendly, so just email them or talk to them, schedule a time to talk, and go over things.
5) HAVE FUN, its not that hard, high school isn't all about do your homework or eles, have some fun, talk to your friends at lunch, if its a nice day, spend your free outside or talk a nice walk. The playground ain't only for the little ones, you can go play on it too no one will judge. Bond with your classmates, your stuck with them for the next few years so get to know them.

Bonus tip) If its getting too hard talk to someone, go to Dr. Edgar for a chat or just some tea, If your stressing over homework and about to have a breakdown, stop and tell your teacher that you cant get it done for tomorrow and ask for a extension. Take a moment to relax and enjoy the high school experience. You'll get through it, trust me!

Even though there will be some late nights of homework, sleep is a bigger priority because not getting enough sleep will effect your mood and your work you do the next day, and will make you.

For the new people, I know you want to find your best friend group overnight, but that probably won't happen tbh. If you are patient though you will find the right group

after every scripture class, reread your notes. at the end of the day, reread the notes, and at the end of the week reread all your notes. it will help in the long run with remembering information for tests and finals
