“Actually talk to people in your classes” Me: *laughs*

Please for the love of god don’t do fortnite dances in the middle of the hallway

My high school deadass played this at the freshman assembly 😂

• don’t shout out to your friend in the middle of the hallway • never block the hallways (if you’re going to walk slow don’t be in the middle) • take AP and duel enrollment classes (dual enrollment is good for over the summer) • online courses are your friend • never do the bare minimum (ex. take 4 years of math/science, and at least 3+ years of language) - colleges love this • do extra-curricular like sports and clubs to meet new people • take classes that relate to either your interests and potential future jobs • nobody cares what you wear and nobody notices/cares if you wear the same shirt or something twice • getting a B or missing a homework assignment isn’t the end of the world... in the grand scheme of things, it’s not a big deal • ask for extra credit or help in class if you are struggling • enjoy highschool, you only have 4 years. make some friends, talk to those people next to you, try new sports/clubs, go out with friends, live life.

*CLASS OF 2024 WHERE YA AT?*

I’m in 8th grade and schools cancelled for the rest of the year for me so... edit: hey guys! we’re high schoolers rn how’s it going for you guys?

Top tips I received: 1:Dont "try to look cool" and make a scene of yourself, it will set your bars low. 2: If your going to copy something(papers or sum) then put it out of order, and change a lot of words. 3:Dont be mean to look tuff 4:Do what you want, and what you like, not your friends. 5:Make at least one friend, and if you cant, then talk to someone who looks like they also cant. 6: this tip is for making friends. To make friends, just while partner activities, ask to be with them, then you have to socialize. 7:For the love of god don't date seniors 8: Dont lisen to random elders. 9:Have fun and dont think "I will look stupid" or "What if" 10: set goals for the year/term 11:dont be a wuss. 12: DO NOT do drugs Edit: 100+ likes thank yall

Omg I legit had a mental breakdown today because I’m scared to go to high school

Freshmen 1: wear deodorant and take showers daily 2: don't run in the halls or stand in the middle of the hallway 3: You can talk to upperclassmen and ask questions but don't be overly bearing, it's annoying. 4: HS isn't that bad if you pay attention in class and aren't trying to hard or be cool or whatever. 5: Try to make friends on the first day. If you have a couple good friends throughout high school you'll have a great experience. Good Luck Freshies! edit: thanks for all the feedback guys! the take showers daily was kinda just telling people to shower. you have no idea how many people i’ve sat behind in class and smell like b.o. please just wear deodorant. and lots of people are nervous on their first day so don’t be afraid to talk to people. Hope you have an awesome first year! p.s. it goes by so fast. i’m already done with high school and i’m going to college next semester 💕💕💕

*ayy class of 2023‼️ so so nervous 😬 but excited:)*

1. Take at least 1 AP class every year to boost your GPA 2. Do your homework 3. Don’t walk slowly and don’t stand in the middle of the hallway 4. Take at least 1 class that you love (for me it was chorus) 5. Go to every dance your school offers to make some good memories 6. Ask that guy/girl out 7. And lastly, have fun and don’t stress too much, high school doesn’t last forever.

The most important thing u need when you go to high skool, is earphones/headphones. It blocks out all the fake people, makes you feel good, and it understands you. You concetrate more and it makes you feel like its just you in the world and everyone is not there

1. Don't juul, especially in the bathroom, it's annoying (plus it's a huge expense you cannot afford) 2. DON'T SKIP CLASS, you are going to regret it, trust me 3. Become friends with your teachers! They exist to help and nine times outta ten they have a sense of humor 4. Get to know upperclassmen. They're not as scary as you think. They love to help you out, and if you're lucky they might take you to lunch and give you some more advice (NOTE: usually it's not a good idea to date them either if you're a freshman or sophomore) 5. Take some challenging classes even if you don't feel like it. I promise when college comes, those classes will have been worth it 6. If you can, do your homework in class or during lunch so that you can have a life after school. The sooner the better, I promise That's it, hope this helps💕

i’m terrified for next year. i’m gonna be a freshman and i have really bad anxiety so idk what’s gonna happen. my school is literally 7 different buildings and i know i’m gonna get lost :(

who else is class of 2024 but is here because school is cancelled for the rest of the year 😭 ?

i’ve never subbed to someone so fast lmao:) class of 2024🤪

Idk why but I find it so fun to read all the comments from the nervous rising freshman

“so sad, so tragic” me: *alexa, play despacito*

This comment section is loaded of freshman but the question is.....is there any 8th graders here?!?!( You gotta know this stuff the second I walk into the door on the first day you know what I mean? No?....ok) bye awesome human!☺

class of 2023 we out here 😬

you have such a dry sense of humor and i love it

I’m on a binge for back to school vids idk why but this is honestly the best one I’ve seen so far 💕

her sense of humor is so dry. AND I AM HERE FOR IT

I am in grade 8 and where I live that is the last year of middle school, after that is high school, so I am watching this to be prepared for next year

Starting school next month. I'm so scared.

This is perfect bc I’m a freshman❤️❤️

I’m starting high school and I’m scared of not having lunch with my friends

Class of 2023

I feel awkward sending email to teachers 🙃

How to survive highschool: - DONT STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FRICKEN HALLWAY - DONT BE A TWAT - DO YOU BUD, THIS IS FOR EXPERIMENTING, SO GO FOR IT

Is anyone else going to high school next year i am I am scared 😭

Class of 2023 where y’all at?? 🙋🏽‍♀️

i really needed this, i am starting my first year of high school in a month, and i am kind of nervous. i know you said not to thank you, but thank you anyways :)

this advice was honestly perfect, i just finished freshman year and these tips were spot on

“Grades are not always an accurate reflection of your academic progression” My Hispanic mother: *imma pretend I didn’t hear that*

I’m an incoming freshman and I love binging these types of videos 😂

Idk why I keep watching these videos, I'm going to be a senior this year. But I mean, good luck to all you freshmen, high schools not as scary as you think. Remember to do your homework, get along with your teachers (when your teacher likes you they're a lot more lenient with your grade), and don't share your food.

you remind me of yaz online when she's older

This helps me be not so nervous for high school next year (2023)

Starting high school next school year Hehe 😤✌🏼

I’m going to high school next year thx😂😂

Unfortunately, in my country, you don't get to choose classes. They don't care about student needs, so yeah, they just put everyone in the same class even though not everyone is equally good in a subject, nor does everyone learn in the same rate.

When your district says they might cancel the beginning of freshman year...

Class of 2024, I’m honestly anxious of going to high school, any advice?

Starting sophmore year this year... I’m gonna die... Core classes I’m taking: Pre AP Chem AP Chem WHAP Pre AP English 2 Pre calculus/college algebra And most importantly... Band

#5 was sooo true. most grades come from homework assignments or tests and if you forget to turn in homework and your grade goes down, that doesn’t mean you’re an idiot. just means you’re irresponsible. like me.

i’m going to 9th grade and IVE NEVER MISSED A DAY IN MY LIFE 😭 my mom really want that perfect attendance, me and my brother have only been late ONCE

Syd: *"it's okay to take a day off to yourself"* Me: *"My Asian parents could nEvEr"*

Class of 2022🤙

haven't watched it yet but ily

Today was my last day of middle school YEEEEEAY

Me: school doesn’t start till next month Also me: *watches this video*

Where are my class of 2022

This is honestly the best advice!

3:54 my science teacher does that 😂 my social studies teacher does the opposite. He gave me a 3,000% on an extra credit assignment that I didn't do but obviously i didn't say anything.

well it’s finally time to watch the “freshman” advice videos😪

I'm feeling 7 times better for having watched this. Exactly 7 times. But I don't matter. Never mind.

I’m gonna be a senior but I still wanted to watch this vid. But it’s great advice y’all should listen. Don’t listen to upperclassmen about class selections! Pick what you want to do!

coming from an incoming freshman i apologize for the rest of my class that don’t have older siblings

That awkward moment when your teacher says get into a group or get a partner and you know no one😭

I emailed my teachers 24/7 freshman year lmao, I was a teachers pet at its finest. Gives you the best benefits ❤️❗️

Class of 2021 👋🏽🤪

I also feel like so many people wanna glow before they go to highschool, like it’s fine if you wanna but if you’re “glowing up” (physically) just so you feel validated by other people. Then just nope. Glow up for yourself, nobody else. Period 👁👄👁 💅

I’m gonna be a freshman and I’m honestly so nervous about making new friends and if people will like me or not omg I’m a wreck lol

Im a junior this year and honestly high school isn't anything like the movies or anything like you'd expect. Don't be nervous and I know its hard not to but trust me when I say that in no time you'll be a junior like me and wondering how you're already through half of high school. Good luck

In my school you only have 4 days to miss or you have to take a text at the end of the year that makes up to 60% of your grade. Also: you're adorable.

Me watching this video knowing damn well I’m never going to high school bc of corona 👁👄👁

I love that this video isn’t the generic stuff every other video has. I absolutely loved it. I’m starting high school next year, and now i feel better. Plsssss make a part 2, this was so good. The perfect combination of humor and seriousness. Loved it. Thanks so much

I’m a junior and this is still extremely helpful!

thank you so much for this video. i've been having panic attacks because i've been thinking about starting freshman year in about a month. this video really soothed my worries and made me feel more secure. 💛💛💛

Yo I'm starting high school next year and low-key terrified. Especially cause I'm most likely doing IB in junior and senior year! 😬😨

As someone who graduated today as a valedictorian who got along with literally every student in my grade. Make the social side your priority. Your friends are your family in highschool. The classes, the work all that kinda stuff is important and try and find a way to enjoy every subject but it’s really such a small part of what you’ll remember. At times highschool will feel like the rest of your life. Like the drama, chaos, endless work piles and restless nights will never end. But I promise you it’ll feel like only a couple of months went by when it’s all over. As far as making new friends or anything it’ll come naturally. People like you are out there and will find you. As far as the whole “be yourself and you can’t fail” idea is concerned I don’t really agree. Go in with the idea of letting highschool take you where it will. Your friends or whoever you meet in the first few days won’t be the same a month later and neither will you. You change so fast in highschool it’s almost unbelievable. It’s scary but it is So. Much. Fun. This is the perfect time in your life to follow your dreams and live to the fullest. Now that doesn’t mean go drug yourself up and get shitfaced every week like some kids will. But if you’re not one of those people (I’m sure as hell not) don’t be afraid of those kinds of folks. Some of my best friends are party animals and while some of that stuff isn’t really for me we get along great. And for anyone whose more introverted and is really freaked out by the ideas of the social interactions that great. Truly. Anyone who says that being introverted is worse than being extroverted is out of their minds. This world absolutely needs both. The time you spend and the relationship you build with yourself in highschool will let you hone in on any skills, hobby’s or dreams that you have and give you a whole other level of confidence in your abilities. I can’t really say don’t be scared or don’t worry cause I was terrified my first day. Genuinely scared like I’d never been before. But I wouldn’t take being afraid back for a second. As an anxious kid any field trips, events or anything that wasn’t the normal school day got me pretty worked up. But even those moments I wouldn’t change for a second. You should take it one day at a time but keep in mind the whole four years is one of the biggest adventures you’ll ever live through. Highschool can be so much fun. I really hope anyone who is reading this finds a way to make it the adventure of a lifetime like I did. Savour every moment. It’ll be grad before you know.

So true. One day, you'll graduate and you probably won't be seeing most of your chohort ever again, so make the most of your high school life. It's literally a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I have one more term left (10 weeks) of high school, and the exams next term, and let me tell you, i regret no LIVING in my younger years as if it were my last. Time flies by SO FAST as you get older. This isnespecially for my fellow Aussies, who grow up with their mates from year 7-12. Good luck.

I really like your sense of humor and dry wit and tbh I also just graduated high school and I literally can't even remember what happened before 11th grade

Is anyone else starting high school in the fall so you're watching this out of boredom during summer?

god i am excited to be able to choose the classes im in, and not have stuff be dumbed down (im a middleschooler and my principal got rid of honnors classes the year i joined this school and every class is so easy and boring to the point where the teachers just let me do whatever bc they know im completely fine with wtvr subject)

Class of 2022 wya?💗

What if I'm really shy and scared to talk?

"There's a difference between challenging yourself and literally dying" -- and you just got a new sub

Thanks so much for the advice! It’s really relevant. I like how you speak of experience, it makes everything more real. Actually it was my first day at high school today, and I was pretty nervous so this feels very encouraging to me.

and I'm starting high school next year and this was great advice!

My parents always send me to school when I have cramps. I can't think if my stomach hurts so bad like I'm even learning anything if I just want to go home and lie down

Honeeey.... 1.Choose your friends wisely, needing a big group of friends is bullshit, you just need few but loyal peeps to trust. 2. You will experience identity crisis so althroughout your highschool years focus on discovering yourself, try new things, find out what you love and like and do it! 3. Grades don’t define you but it does matter think about your parents. 4. Love life and dating isn’t exactly relevant in hightschool, you may feel like you need to be in a relationship at high school but....No, you don’t. Take your time, love yourself and just enjoy your high school life. 5. keep in mind that there will be teachers that will beat the crap out of you.

I loved this. especially the first one about taking other people’s advice as a grain of salt. that’s so true and I couldn’t stress that more myself from my own experience.

“This whole video is gonna be cheesy and honestly I’m dying inside”

Class of 2022!

I’m a junior fixing to be a senior and the stuff I wish I knew before starting: - there’s no freshman Friday’s, thank the lord. - my counselors and people like that are not actually that helpful. - teachers are more strict. - a lot of snobby upperclassmen. - getting judged and picked on for liking kpop. - you’ll find it much easier to get rid of the people who don’t care about you as much as you thought. Honestly I just stayed the same as I was, only kept to my friends. My anxiety got worse in high school and a lot of stress was put on me. All my teachers bitched about good grades and shit and often times I would zone out. My school isn’t really that helpful because the counselors were just not even helpful or anyone isn’t helpful. And I’m honestly just want senior year to fly by so I can be out of school and not have to worry. But you will make good memories and there are teachers who can be your best friend and stuff like that but I guess it how you put yourself. For freshman, don’t be so nervous there’s nothing to really worry about. Some upper class people can be very annoying but just ignore them. This upper class person was coming into the gym at my school one time and I literally watched this happened. He went to the door and pulled on it and it was locked and I pointed to the other door right beside it because it was open and then he got all bitchy about it because I didn’t do it for him. Don’t go so hard on yourself, you’ll regret it. Just take it easy and go with the flow. Don’t stress over the amount of work that you’ll have, yes it can be a lot but you’ll eventually get through it.

idk why but I’m HELLA scared for gym...

Well, this helped I’m starting High School this year... 😊

It’s never too late for one of ur uploads;)

I live in a city with an excellent educational system which is nice because our middle schools are "assigned " highschools. We barely have any new people on the first day. It's the same people we met in middle school.

“Actually talk to your classmates” **Laughs in Social Anxiety**

Literally I am terrified.. I’m going into high school for my freshman year and I am sooooo nervous

honestly ty so much for this video there’s so many things that i wasn’t gonna do bc ppl would think it’s “weird” or i didn’t want to do some classes bc it would be extra work but this really made me rethink my decisions

Ah I’m going to highschool this year 🥲😓

I’m literally not going to high school until like two years, but i still just love watching these kinds of videos idk why!

I did not understand a word she said and I’m going to be a freshman this year...

i was in 8th grade (2019-2020) and during lockdown i missed out on a lot and its not even close to the end of summer ( my school "closed" June 14th) its only been a week and im just constantly watching advice and GRWM videos even though i have like 2-3 months left

This is useful because I'm going to be a freshman in a few months and I'm hella scared

I'm going into highschool this year in November and I'm so stressed, I'm literally terrified of kids older than me but this video actually helped with the anxiety, so thank you
