First day of highschool!

I was all stoked about starting at a new school where I knew nobody and could have a completely fresh start, until I remembered that starting in a new school where you know no-one means you'll have to be more social and giving than normally. Truth is I too was scared shitless when I woke up on a monday and realized I was starting school, and I'm writing this to let you know that there's really very little to be afraid of.

This was the only picture I had from school, yes I know.

I'm of course extremely lucky at times so I ended up being in the same class as the two other girls I knew from before, so I wasn't in it all alone. But even with that said I was so nervous walking in the classroom. It didn't help my nervousness that there was 21 girls in my class and only 12 guys. AND, all the girls were stunning. holy crap! The first thing we did was sit in a circle and we played some standard social games that you always do at first-anythings. Like interviewing the person next to you and then tell the rest of the class about this someone. I was yet again lucky as I was seated next to a very fun and pretty girl who I got along with super fast. The rest of the day passed with a breeze of nervous laughter and lots of introduction and I was left with the impression that I was going to have a good time with my class for the next few years. And the best thing about starting at a new school like i did is realizing that you have friends outside school as well who you can spend the whole day looking forward to meeting if you have a crap day.

So that was just my experience and my main advice is not to stress too much even though I know that can be an impossible task. But in the end you have to realize that everyone else in your class are also just sitting there wanting to make new friends just like you!

Until next time, live free!
