5 Tips for Starting Highschool

CONGRATS!! You’re transitioning into high school. You’re about to gain a little more freedom.

  • Make a good impression

Go out of your way to show your classmates and teacher how kind you are. Stay engaged in class and try not to speak out of turn. Being kind from the get-go will help you develop a strong, honest and respectful reputation. This will make high school a more interesting experience.

  • Be Organized

It’s important to stay organized in high school as it can be very fast paced at times. Write down test dates, due dates and homework. Clear out your bag often so that old papers don’t take up space. Always have extra school supplies like pencils, erasers and highlighters.

  • Be Friends With A Bunch Of People

It’s good if you found a group of people that you’re comfortable and enjoy being around. But try not to only latch onto them, keep an open mind and be willing to interact with other people. If you keep to yourself, or one particular group you may limit your high school experience. If you struggle to make friends, try to find people with similar interests as you. Joining extra-curricular activities is an amazing and easy way to do this.

  • Show Up On Time

Showing up late to class is a silly reason to be in trouble. Write down your locker combination as its easy to forget. If for whatever reason you don’t know how to open a locker, don’t be shy to ask a teacher or student. Figure out how to get to class ahead of time and if you’re not sure, ask a teacher or upperclassman.

  • Try to Get Enough Sleep

I know that it’s tempting to spend an extra hour or two on your personal device. It’s not worth it. Trust me. It’s easier said than done but try to get at least 8 hours of sleep.
