It's the best and worst day of the year. The first day of school. Amongst all the many emotions that fill your tummy with butterflies on top of the nausea and anxious thoughts similar to being sentenced to prison, the average student ponders on certain goals that must be accomplished on day one. There's no doubt that you will do everything in your power to accomplish these goals, even if it means taking down the teacher's pet in the hallway or waking up an hour earlier than necessary.

It's all about first impressions, right? So, for this reason, the first day of class is the most important, other than the last day which leads you straight to freedom. But naturally, that's a given. The first day, on the other hand, brings up an importance that no one student can deny.

The first day is all about bright, shining faces, new clothes, new atmosphere and new, way too serious professors. It's so exciting yet so incredibly sad. Luckily, we students find ways of making our first days back as prisoners an opportunity to learn, experience new things and make new friends. Whether you're the type of student that lives for the first day back to school or the one who dreads it the most, day one is the most riveting.

On the first day of the school, the below goals must be met.

1. Your outfit must be a reflection of your best self.

Your favorite color top with the best fitting pair of pants, along with those boots that clearly make a statement.

2. Each item on the very intricate list of school supplies purchased prior to this exciting day must be in its rightful place.

I'm talking each pen and pencil lives in its own little pocket, your laptop in the very back, a binder for each subject, etc.

3. Snagging the best seat in the entire classroom.

Whether you are a front seater, the one who hides in the back, or the go-with-the-flow type that just grabs the one in the middle. It's all about placement, for sure.

4. Choosing the perfect fun fact about yourself in which you share with the rest of your peers.

I mean, you have to sound even cooler and more impressive than the girl sitting next to you.

5. Not getting lost or entering the wrong classroom.

We all know how embarrassing that is, so let's try to review the campus map before you end up in the wrong building two minutes before the class starts. If that does happen, at least wear good shoes.
