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.
