How To… Survive Your First Day!

Hi guys! Can you believe that summer is already coming to a close? Back-to-school season is here and I’m excited. As I enter my senior year of high school, the final “first day of high school”, I realize how much I have learned with each passing school year…the good and the not-so-good. Let’s relieve some of those 1st day of school jitters.

Without further adieu, let’s get started with the post!

  • Prepare the Night Before
    • Plan out what you’re going to wear, what you’ll need for class, practice how you’d like to wear your hair (perhaps new hairdo?), whatever you can prep the night before will help, so that when you wake up in the morning you’re not stressed. Then…
  • Beauty Rest
    • Get a nice, long sleep…got to get that beauty rest. There’s nothing worse than looking sleep deprived on the first day of school!
  • Confidence is Key
    • Walk into the school like you’re friends with everyone already. Go in with that mindset and you will make friends, because it’s attractive to other people when you’re confident. Hugs are always great for friends, and complimenting people sparks up a conversation. Don’t feel freaked out if you’re not in class with your friends from last year, just focus on getting to know your new classmates and catch up with last year’s friends after school or during lunch.
  • Be Social!
    • In a couple months, you’ll have MORE friends, not less, so be social! Try not to be that person who’s always on Twitter as opposed to making in-person connections. Clearly you’d rather be talking with friends, but you’re nervous and that’s okay! Everyone’s super nervous, so just by going up to someone and starting a conversation, you never know what could happen! It’s truly a blessing to have relationships with people, and you wouldn’t want to miss out on that!
  • Outfit of the Day
    • Try-on a few outfits the night before. Super stressful to decide, but just wear something that you’re confident in. That will be, again, attractive to other people because you’re rockin’ your outfit. Be cute, comfortable, and confident!

I really hope you guys enjoyed this post! Make sure to comment down below what your favorite thing about going back to school is, I want to hear what you guys think!
