Disregard what people are saying about not being friends with upper-classmen, they have already taken most classes you are taking and are the next best from teachers for asking for help with homework.

Don’t get caught up in the drama of popularity, yeah its awesome to be the popular guy or girl, but in THE REAL WORLD popularity is non-existant. It truly is a waste of time.

Keep on top of your homework, don’t let yourself slip up too much, one thing can lead to another, and next thing you know you are so far behind in late homework that it will seem hopeless.

Ask questions when you don’t understand something, noting is worse that sitting in front of a question or math problem with no idea how to even start it.

If you slack off your freshman year, it will hurt you in later years. Personally I did slack off, and got straight C’s freshman year, and even straighting up and getting 4.0 for many, many quarters, I only ended up with a 3.2 GPA.

Go in strong, don’t give up, and I promise you, you will make it out and straight into a 4 year college doing whatever you want.

Second, be familiar with your school. If your high school has orientation, go to it. If they don’t, call the school to see when you can go by and check out your schedule, and maybe even pick out a locker, if they don’t assign you one.

and Third, your a smart kid, just taking AP classes tells me that but make sure not to become cocky about it. No one likes a brag.

And remember to be yourself. =)

I’m not gonna lie to you and say freshman year wasn’t hard at times, because it was but I think it’s different for people just depending on whats going on in your life. people are sometimes gonna change so you’ll just have to be prepared for that, and chances are you’ll change a little too.. in my opinion, freshman year you start to come into your own. it helps you find out who your friends are.

I was a freshman last year, and it’s not too bad. don’t worry too much about it. I was nervous before too, but just be yourself and it’s all good 🙂

Good luck.
