Advice For Freshman Year

Freshman Year might seem to be scary because you are in a new school. You may or may not know the people in who go to the school and you are most likely going to get lost the first day. But don’t worry you catch onto these things fast and every other freshman is probably thinking the same things as you. Everyone gets nervous when they go somewhere new, it’s natural. But sometime you just have to push that aside and try to meet new people and get involved with your school.

I hope you can make the best out of your freshman year because I didn’t and I regret that. First, I recommend to do all your work and to do your best on it. Just because I procrastinated my grades dropped very low. Also I had this mood that I didn’t care about school anyways so I just let my grades drop to D’s and F’s after my first semester. It was hard trying to bring them up when I started realizing that I want to go to college and have a good career. I ended this year pretty bad because of how much assignments I didn’t do but I will figure out something that I can do that can pay me well later in life. So, if you are thinking of not doing most of you work, don’t do that because it’s hard to get a good job without going to college now.

Another thing is that you should try to be social with others. During most of the year I didn’t talk to that much new people. I would just hang out with my friend from middle school and some other people I used to know. Don’t isolate yourself because no one is really going to talk to you and you won’t get to fully experience your freshman year. But in the same time be careful who you are friends with. If you don’t be careful many personal things about you can spread as rumors which is not a great way to start off high school. So talk to people in your classes and get to know them and do classwork with them because it’s easier than trying to do everything by yourself. Also do clubs and other school activities because the benefit you with colleges and you can meet more new people that you wouldn’t normally talk to at school.

Things you should be careful with is relationships. I don’t recommend going off dating just anyone.You should get to know them and see how they act. If you don’t you could fall into a toxic relationship which doesn’t help you because it can affect on how you are doing in school. And don’t just be with that person, try to still hang out with your friends and other people because if that relationship ends (like most high school relationships) you’ll be more alone because your friends would most likely be mad at you for ditching them. I’m not saying to not get in a relationship at all but just be careful, make sure they seem like a healthy person to be around, and try to balance everything out.

If you are going through tough times don’t tell people that aren’t trustworthy about your personal problems. I know sometimes you think someone is your friend and you tell them certain things but you shouldn’t because later on those things spread. Like I went through a lot during the beginning of the school year but I didn’t really talk about it. I recommend talking to a trusted adult on campus like Mr. Tilton or your counselor about it because there is a lot of fake people trying to hurt others. If you are going to trust a friend make sure they are that type of person that always have your back and when you do I still don’t recommend telling them such sensitive details. The reason why is because one day if you get in an argument with them they can use that against you and tell many people about it or use it to blackmailing you into doing things for them that you don’t want to do.

In conclusion try to make the best out of your freshman year because it is going to go by really fast. To summarize what I’ve said on this letter, make sure to keep up with your work and don’t procrastinate, try to be more social and meet new people, join clubs and participate in after school activities, be careful with relationships and friendships. I hope some of my advice can help you during your freshman year, I’m out.
