11 Things For Everyone Going Back To School
OffColorTv


It is starting to rain. Summer clothes are disappearing from stores. The Christmas ornaments are being displayed at the stores. And the worst of them all. SCHOOL IS COMING. I personally like school supply shopping more than actually going to school. And in my case is a bit different, I just moved to the United States and this high school experience has being scary. But I would like to share this small tips with you, hopefully I will follow them too.



1. Do Not Stress Out


It is not worth losing sleep for it. It is okay to be nervous and scared, that happens. But teachers and staff are there to help us. So ask questions, wander around the school to find your classes and locker if you are not familiar with the place.


2. Read. Read. Read.

And write too. If you are like me, I don't keep track of the days on summer or winter vacations. I stop working as a human being. Check your topics for the classes you are taking and do some light reading. Train yourself for school.


3. File Your Paper

Seriously, if you have anything that you or your parents need to file for school. Do it ASAP. Get everything set. Your schedules, class info, mail accounts, or anything you need for the future.


4. Stationery Is Awesome


Me: *clears throat* Hi, my name is Stella.

Everyone: Hi, Stella.

Me: *with no shame* And I am a stationery addict.

Go school supply shopping a week or two before school starts.


5. Get Involved

Yeii, people. I know, some people are not really good at making new friends, or maybe they are not interested. But knowing people from your classes and clubs is definitely something good.


6. Eat Breakfast and Lunch


This is how I am by third period. Please, eat.


7. Take It Easy With Those Tough Classes.

I honestly don't understand all the math, so I try to breath and ask for help. And don't be scared of asking questions to your teacher, it is their jobs to help you and teach you.


8. Ask Questions... Obviously...

Asking questions could save a life.


9. Sleep Well.

Really, your body will thank you.


10. Make Friends and Enjoy Yourself


11. This Is Not Like High School Musical

Unfortunately, there is a lot of childish and nonsense drama. Ignore it and you will be okay.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
