Newbie Problems

This next post is going to be about life as the new kid at school. This year I am going to a new school by choice, I wanted to change schools because the previous school I was going to was not the right fit for me. Going to a new school so far has been going really well, I’ve already made a few friends in the first full week of school. Going to a new school is not as easy as I thought it would be. It’s like being a freshman all over again and even though my freshman year was not a bad year for me, I still wouldn’t want to do it again, I mean who would? Who would want to go to a giant school and go through the whole awkward, I don’t know anybody stage. No one. One of the biggest challenges of moving schools is that it is so much bigger and it’s so different from what you know. For me I went to small schools my entire life, I went from a student body of almost 700 to a student body of over 1,000. If you are reading this blog and you are also new to a school this year here are some positive things to think about. Yes, you probably don’t know anyone at your school for the moment but that isn’t always a bad thing! Show them who you are and they will probably love you for it. If they don’t at least they know you aren’t fake person. Also if you are having a hard time in school making friends, like you only have a few, be grateful that you have some because the friends you have probably like you for who you are and will most likely be your friend for a long time.  For me one of the biggest thing is to not writing people off right away, you wouldn’t want them doing that to you, would you? Just give everyone the chance that you want other people to give you. Hopefully if you are having a hard time in school it will get better and hopefully some of the things I said helped you and if not, well, oh well. If you are new in school too, just remember you are not the only one! Good luck at your new school! Hopefully you have a great 2012 Year!
