Recommended: How to survive senior high school

As a senior in high school, I have a lot of advice on how to survive high school that would benefit incoming freshman. The first piece of advice I have to offer is to figure out what is most important to you. If you want to be a star athlete, push yourself every day in the gym to be that much better than you were before; others might want to be a doctor so they spend a lot of extra time in the classroom getting all the help they can get. No matter what path you choose, figuring out the person you want to be after high school is the first step to surviving high school. The second piece of advice that I recommend, possibly the biggest one, is to walk on the right side of the hallway. Nothing bothers upperclassman more than students that walk

  • Analysis Of High School Confidential: Notes On Teen Movies

    Making the transition from middle school to high school is a huge stepping stone in a teenager’s life. High school represents both the ending of a childhood and the beginning of adulthood. It’s a rite of passage and often many teens have the wrong impression when beginning this passage. Most began high school with learning the last thing on their mind. They come in looking for a story like adventure and have a false sense of reality created through fabricated movie plots acted out by fictional characters. In all actuality high school is nothing like you see in movies, television shows, or what you read about in magazines.

  • Personal Narrative: Stuck In High School

    583 Words  | 2 Pages

    I felt as though I was watching a train barrelling towards me, an inevitable bullet that had come tumbling out of the opposing pitcher’s arm. But instead I stood immobilized, watching my team's only chance of winning whiz by me. Strike three. I heard my team from behind me shouting “SWING!” with my mind screaming the same. But my bat remained unmoving, the pop of the catcher's glove like the nail into the coffin that was our defeat. All I had to do to keep our hopes of winning hope alive was swing, and yet I couldn't. I stayed on the field afterwards, tossing the ball up in the air and swinging away, landing it on the thick maple barrel of the bat.

  • The First Year Seminar ( Fys )

    1521 Words  | 4 Pages

    Advice I would give to next years freshman is do not go boy-crazy or girl-crazy during the first semester at least because you need to focus on what you really came here for is higher education. It’s hard enough to get adjusted to the college life, with different methods of teaching to all of the homework. The only emotional distress one should have, not that one should, is just stressing over school. Stressing over being in a relationship isn’t worth it. A second piece of advice I would love to give is studying or doing homework in your dorm room is not effective, you get distracted easily. Go out to the library, and get your homework done faster in a peaceful and quiet environment. I didn’t learn this until the ending of the semester, I wish I had gone to the library earlier, then maybe my grades would be better than they are this semester.

  • How Can Survive High School

    2052 Words  | 5 Pages

    Everything is in the same boat at the very start of school however soon after you are expected to know your way around. It can be difficult being one of those people who learn slower than others. I remember one of my teachers getting mad at this girl countless times for being late to class the second week of school. It is better to figure out your way sooner than later if you are in this situation. Whenever I think about not knowing your way around I think about one of my friends. It is the second month of school and he always walks right past our advisory class. I don 't understand how he doesn 't know where it is by now and that he keeps making the same mistake. Luckily he always realizes before he goes into another classroom which would be awkward. One of my friends went on to tell me how he has walked into the wrong classroom countless times. To make it worse he has walked in late to the wrong classroom while the teacher was talking. If this was me I would have died of embarrassment and I would forever be haunted by that memory. Whether you want to admit it or not everyone 's always judging off of your actions. You don 't want to have a reputation of being the kid who doesn 't know his way around school.
