Well fellow Plimers.
Today is my first day of school.
Correction.
My first day of High School.
I am, a freshman, AKA, freshmeat.
.-.
And I am terribly nervous/excited.
Wish me luck !
xD

Good luck!

Remember, Just Say No!

find the biggest senior you can find. kick um straight in the face and say "My name is hayley, anyone one else wanna piece?!" make sure theres plenty of people around to see. High School is like prison. fight or be someones punk! atleast thats how it was for me but i'm a real a-hole.

seriously, you'll be fine. just dont get caught smoking in the restroom during lunch. nasty habit!

First week is the hardest, you'll do fine. After that, piece of cake!

High School isn't that bad, I promise. You just have to relax, be yourself. Do your school work, don't be lazy (like me), it's not worth it.

And I, as her mother, am a wreck. I have reoccurring nightmares that I will forget my locker combo, my schedule, where my classes are, where the office is....I AM ALMOST 33 and I am STILL having this nightmare...

I am sure she will be fine, I just hate that I can't call or text her. I can see it now, she gets her phone taken away because her MOTHER is texting her too much.

Ugh...I really am a ball of nerves.

But thank you all my fellow Plimates who have given her an encouraging word.

And Hayley: yes, JUST SAY NO or I will kill you.

*smooches*

Mom.

yea first day is always butterfly time! good luck and hope goes well for ya, though ya can give the details later :p

Good luck!
Just remember, everyone is an a*****e and their opinion of you really doesn't matter.
Make friends with your teachers and make sure to always have enough lunch money.
It sucks when you're looking forward to lunch block all day, then you find out you forgot your money on the bar at home.
[But if that happens, flirt with some guys and they'll float you a few bucks. Always worked for me.] :D

Remember this:

All the cool kids will probably hang onto these four years of their life as their best, others who are smart enough to not spend all of their time and energy competing in a popularity contest, will go on to value some other years later in life, and never look back with regret.

Stay away from the football team.. sit with the "middle class" at lunch.. not the loud popular ones and not the creepy quiet ones.. just find the middle.. and no drinking the first day.. what else.. any guy that starts out with "how U doin?" instead of "how are you?" just walk away.. don't eat mushrooms.. even if they claim they're from the kitchen.. no taking of pills or medicine from anyone other than school nurse.. and never leave campus with an upper classmen just b/c they have a cool car.. :-)


good luck

Don't do drugs, there will be plenty of time to do that after your brain has fully developed.

Well best of luck to you! Remember, hold your high and walk with confidence.

Mom- deep breaths. She will do great.

Sooo.
Just got back.
And thank you all for the great advice.
:]
My day actually went pretty well.
I never completely got lost.
So all is well.
I have some classes with friends.
So thats a plus.
Im looking forward for tomorrow.
xD

Good job!! Sounds like a good first day.

I've just started my senior year in High school. I remember being a freshman and that the middle school teachers over hyped the first year of high school. Its pretty much exactly like middle school only in a new place with more people and the Homecoming dance.

High school really gets interesting when you are a junior and/or a senior because there's Prom and graduation and we also get to do a career study which is like a short apprenticeship at the end of senior year and there is also a senior trip. Those last two things your school might not have, but should.

One good piece of advice though is to try your best not to be nervous about the transition and basically get involved with the school and don't be afraid of joining clubs and sports. Things that are run by the school or with the school's help CAN be fun You don't want to be a senior and regret that you didn't do a lot your freshman year. Oh and have fun and study on the weekends!

and by the way... stay away from Smarty!!! i heard he prowls the local high schools! hey Smarty is the Chris Hanson?!
