What a day!
You are going back to
school. A whole year of classes, homework, research,
sports events, socializing and yes anxiety.
Here are some tips for that first day. |
| 1. Get a good
night's rest. Being drowsy and nervous is
not a good combination. |
| 2. Keep an open
mind about your teachers, sometimes rumors
and gossip are exaggerations, misinformation
or just plain lies. |
| 3. Have a good
positive breakfast. |
| 4. Dress appropriately and
comfortably. It would not be cool to be sent
home on the first day for dress code
violation. |
| 5.
Organize your backpack and locker, you have
enough on your mind to have to worry about
where things are. |
| 6.
If there is a school orientation, attend it.
Find out the facts before you attend the
first day. |
| 7.
Don't try to make social hookups at this
time, concentrate on getting to know the
teachers and the classes. |
| 8.
At the end of the day, evaluate your
classes, schedule and how you feel about the
day. Try to look positive about your coming
year. |
