Top 8: The First Day

So I went back to school on Wednesday. After making some mistakes and learning some things, here are my top eight tips for the first day of Eighth Grade:

1. Eat good breakfast. Make sure you're not hungry at school or you'll have a stomachache. Breakfast is important! It starts your day with some energy.
2. Make sure you're clean and ready to go before you leave. It's so sad to walk out the door, only to discover there are stains all over your shirt! Double check yourself in the mirror before you leave.
3. Don't be late! It's much better to get to school in time so you can hang out with your friends for a while. It'll also give you a good first impression with your teachers.
4. Say hi to all your friends. Make sure you catch up with them when you get to school. You haven't seen them all summer!
5. If you're new to your school, don't feel shy about meeting your classmates. Just smile and say hi!
6. Make sure to take note of any important things your teachers tell you. You definitely don't want to forget to bring any forms or papers in the next day.
7. Organize your locker and pencil case. This is super fun and helpful too. If your space is kept clean and tidy, your work will be too!
8. Pick a good seat. Make sure you're not next to anything distracting or annoying, like an air conditioner or a pencil sharpener. Also pick seats next to people you get along with (they don't have to be you bffs!)

Thanks for reading my top 8 tips for the first day of school!
