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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
