The first day of high school can be super exciting. You buy all new clothes, get a new back pack, and then you get to school and you realize something. This is not what I expected. It's four years of making memories, sometimes good and sometimes even bad. Once you graduate you won't miss it, but you will laugh when you look back! So Freshmen listen up! Here's what to expect! And graduates, crack open a cold one and laugh with me.
1. Waking up and realizing that this is real life and you are now officially a high school student.
You are waking up to go face the
most interesting four years of your life. You take a risk of getting
beat up by a Senior, but wakey wakey!
2. Arriving at school and realizing that this place is a jungle and way larger than you expected.
Okay, but seriously? Why do you guys need one floor for just the math classes!?
3. Trying to push your way through the crowd to get to your first class.
Don't worry, eventually you just get numb to fighting your way through extremely crowded hallways!
4. Being late to your first class in a room full of people that you don't know and they are all staring at you
Just stare straight ahead and eventually they will look away. Or you could start a fight right here in the middle of class, but then you'll be known as the bad kid.
5. Realizing that you are in the wrong class with these people that are staring at you!
Just a fake a sickness! If you slip out now they will never remember it! Or you might be remembered as the student that was in the wrong class for the next four years.
6. Trying to focus on all your classes but your mind is really just on lunch.
But I am warning you, high school food is no better than middle school food! You have been warned!
7. Finding out that you have lunch period with your best friends.
Lunch period is a war zone. You can't just sit with anyone because I swear lunch tables are actually cults. It's a miracle if you have a lunch period with your best friends, be thankful.
8. Having to play icebreakers in every class but you're too cool for this.
9. Leaving school and realizing this is your life for the next years.
You will make mistakes, you'll go out with the wrong people. Classes will be hard and days will be long. It may feel like it lasts an eternity but I promise it goes by in the blink of an eye. So enjoy it while you can because college is a whole different story.
