Orientation was today! I had so much fun! I'm exhausted, but it was all worth it. I picked up a few tips from our tour guides today about how to survive high school. I asked a few dumb questions, just because I wanted a straight answer, and they were questions I thought other people wanted to know the answer to as well. So, here are a few tips I learned today from my classmates and the upperclassmen. I have to make this post quick because I'm so tired from walking around campus.
So here is a list of things I learned today at Orientation that more teenage freshmens should know:
- Talk to your new classmates
- Ask real/smart questions
- Ask silly/dumb questions (yes, do ask silly questions...my upperclassmen actually asked for dumb questions)
- Introduce yourself to as many teachers and new classmates as possible
- Talk to your tour guides/mentor (that's why you have one)
- "Be Smart. Share Smarts" (The Smart Girls Group Message)
- Take mental notes of all the important details
- Put any important dates+times in your phone for future reference
- Try to make as many friends as possible!!!!! (Seriously, Just Talk to People...Everyone is Nervous!)
- "Sisters Before Misters" (I live by that phrase when it comes to friends and any type of drama)
I hope these tips help. I'm really tired, and I have a big volunteer project all day tomorrow. Bye!
xoxo
