Wow… being the new kid for senior year?

I went to four different high schools, and I’m not sure what you mean by “pretty big”, but the biggest high school I went to was around 5000 students. There is absolutely no way NOT to get lost in the crowd.

For the very first day of school, your hardest part will be lunch because all the other seniors will probably be going off campus or sit with the friends they’ve known for three years. In the class you have before lunch, ask the people around you which lunch they have. When you find someone who has the same lunch as you, ask if you could sit with them and explain that you are new to the school. This usually is a conversation starter (“Oh really? New school your senior year? “etc…) but don’t take offense if someone says no. Just try someone else and keep your head up.

Another thing you’ll definitely want to do is join a club (or two or three depending on how much of an achiever you are). Taking band or orchestra is great way to make friends, but if you don’t play an instrument other clubs will work just as well. Try to observe first and not share too much info about yourself as soon as you meet someone. You are basically starting with a completely clean slate and first impressions mean a LOT (this sounds like I’m telling you to be antisocial, but it has kept me out of MANY a sticky situation). Make friends with other club members and remember to smile at them if you ever see them around campus.

Okay, now you have two “acquaintance” groups…lunch ppl and club ppl. Feel free to make friends with people in your classes now that they’ve seen you around a lot and have probably guessed that you’re a new senior. If you start a conversation with someone, don’t hesitate to say that you are new. Since it’s a big school I guarantee they would think you already had your own group of friends. Keep an eye out for whoever seems to be the most enthusiastic about senior events (usually these are Stu. Co. officers). You can either make friends with them or with their friends. That way you can be right in the middle of all the plans for senior skip day, senior prank, etc.

Finally, and probably the most important tip, use your experience in your college application essays. There are SO many ways you can play off the hardships you faced in switching schools during such a critical point in your life.

Good luck!

Ow shite I certainly might now not wish to be to your role : I say unload her. Because yea certain she’s gorgeous and preferred however with an angle like that she does not need to be. Look you are in top tuition when you appear again at this whilst you are in institution, you do not wish it to be a regretful flashback. You’re gonna uncover a bigger lady, do not you consider? In institution I imply. If basketball makes you happier, then do basketball. And see, if you give up you can not become a member of once more and it is top tuition. If you consider you’ll recover from the woman, then go away her. And why care in case your peers might “hate” you when you go away her? Really..?

Be friendly and considerate to other people. If your wanting to make friends, start a conversation when your doing group/partner work in class. (If you’re teacher won’t kill you for being off topic…) Also, join clubs and programs. Going the “extra mile” makes a good impression on teachers. Stick with your own personality and people will like you for who you are.

Of course, just be yourself. In addition, get involved in a couple activities, and be friendly you everyone you encounter. Make small talk about classes, teachers, sports, etc., and when you meet people you get on with well, invite them over to watch a movie or whatever. Then you will meet their friends and have a nice group of people to spend time with. So be nice to everyone, but choose your close friends wisely! Best wishes.

First of all dont worry what other people think just be yourself. If you try to hard to be liked you might come across as being pushy or worse. People will like you for who you are not the impression you will make.
