How much longer is the commute? Would it be burdensome? Are you social and would you make new friends?\n\nI think you should stay at the school. You have your teachers there still, and your records. You want to be able to transition to college well, so think about where you can take the best classes and most easily process your transcripts. You need teacher recommendations. Just make a list of the pros and cons and go with whichever seems best.

No, I just graduated and the only thing you have to worry about is the workload depending on the classes you take. It's a good idea to focus on your schoolwork and your close friends, but don't be afraid of the other students. As a new freshman, high school can be scary, but don't worry it's not nearly as bad as its rep fortells.

Relax, you'll be fine.  Get involved in the things you are interested in.  Be a leader, not a follower.  Don't do stuff to be "popular" when you know in your heart it is wrong.  Study hard, play hard.  Be kind to others.  I loved high school; the best 4 years of my life!

i know how you feel-speaking from a newly highschooler.  Just hang in there, you only got a few days left before summer, then you'll have a new teacher next year.  So put a smile on and count the days till your last day of english and history.  it will be hard but the last day will be awesome!  =]

Stay where you are, see if there is a group outside school who is into it. If you love track, something will come up.

STUDYING AND GRADES\n\n1)Find a good place to study. Most likely your dorm room will have too many distractions\n\n2)Be sure to control your own time. Don't let your friends set your schedule.\n\n3)Don't panic! If your first grades are lower than they were in high school remember that adjusting takes time. You will learn quickly how to manage your time.\n\n4)Learn WHAT to read. Honestly the amounts of reading you will get might scare you at first. It's essential to keep in mind the professor doesn't want you to just do the assignment, they want you to take something away from the assignment.\nCLASSES\n\n1)GO TO CLASS! Go even if someone says it's a blowoff class If you think about it, you or your parents are paying ALOT of money for you to be going to class. Surprisingly there are not that many classes, go otherwise your wasting THOUSANDS of dollars.\n\n2)Don't try to write down every word the professor says. Focus on the key points. Often the last few things a professor says in lecture are important to listen till the end.\n\n3)Don't be intimated by professors. They are willing to help you the same way your teachers from high school were. Often professors are a great asset outside of class that is usually overlooked.\n\n4)Don't drop a class at the first sign of trouble. Talk to the professor and seek help. The first month of a class is often the most straining.\n\n5)Use the schools services such as tutors and writing centers. They are there for you.

I was moved several times before junior high and it wasn't fun.  Every one knows your name right away (since they already know everyone there) and you can't remember all of thier's.  They have established friendships and you are the "new kid" trying to fit in so some kids feel threatend by having to share thier friends with you.  But if you are confident and comfortable being yourself, things will go easier than if you decide it's going to be hard.  Keep a good attitude and Best of Luck!

Smile but don't be too cheesy... hit your motions, make sure they are tight and sharp. Make sure you are in the front to learn the dance and/or cheer... don't be afraid to ask questions... wear your school colors... remember you are there to try-out so socialize afterwards...work on the learned material at home... and relax!! If you mess up keep going because I have given people points for messing up but not stopping... it looks pretty bad if you panic... lastly have fun!!! Good Luck

Don't worry. People at a school can always tell if you are new or not. Usually those are the people who will show you around. Doesn't hurt to ask people questions and they won't look at you crazy. Just chill. Even though you will be new, there will always be people around to help you out. I wish you luck at your new school too. It may be different, but you may like it.

I wish I new then what I know now.I remember being so afraid to start a new school. Being so self consious of every move I made, as if everyone was watching me.It's a horrible feeling and I feel for you. But just remember this. By nature people are followers.And they will follow whatever lead you give them.What I mean by that is,if you go into that new school,your head hung low,shy and without confidence. Then that is the reaction you'll get.Few people will want to talk to you and school will be a scary place.But if you go to that new school with your head held high,showing no fear.People will come a flockin.\n  If your lacking self esteem, not to worry it can be learned.Self talk is the key to it. Keep forcing yourself to get out there and be out going and sooner than later you'll notice it becomes second nature.GOOD LUCK !!! And go get Um Tiger!!!!!

You should wear what you usually wear.  If it's something "professional", great.  If not, that's great too.  I had people show up for my first class in sweats and a tank top - and they were some of the most interesting, and most successful, people in the class.  It's not about what you wear, it's about the attitude you present.  Don't be afraid to introduce yourself to the people you're sitting next to - odds are they're just as nervous as you are.  Ask them where they're from, what they're majoring in, why they chose this college, etc.  Class is one of the best places to meet new people - and it's always nice to know people in your class, should you miss a day, or need help with homework.  Most of all - have FUN!  College is some of the best years of your life - don't waste them being nervous!

(even though you don't feel like it) smile all day long, stand up straight, put a skip in your step...go right up to people you like or even if you don't, say "hey!" or "good morning", smile, smile, smile...when the teacher asks for answers in class, raise your hand...\nWhen you act confident and out-going, people will respond to you in a positive way...it will raise your spirits and it will change your life!\nYou want to lose weight...this works for everyone!\n Eat several (5-6) small meals a day...your body will burn calories faster and build your metabolism in a short period of time.\n(eat about every 2 hours)\nThe first 8-10 pounds you shed is water...after that you will lose an average of 2 - 3 lbs per week\nMeal suggestions:\npiece of fruit\nstring cheese, summer sausage, cottage cheese/yogurt\ntuna/turkey/ham sandwich (lettuce, tomatoe optional)\nsoup\nraw veggies\nboiled eggs\npopcorn\nAlways eat a good dinner...meat, potatoes/pasta/rice, veggie...your body needs carbs, protein and vitamins to stay healthy\nLow calorie sweets...ginger snaps, fig bars, 100% juice popsicles\nDrink plenty of water \nDrink milk or juice/water with every meal (no soda pop)\nStay away from munchies, fried & fatty foods.\nNever eat before going to bed.\nCardio exercise is great, but most people don't continue for an extended period, do "daily" simple exercise like walking/hiking, biking and swimming which are low impact, play games like basketball, baseball, or volleyball, they will help to lose weight, tone your body, make new friends and you'll have fun doing it.\n***Get out in the sunshine everyday, about 15 - 20 mins...your body will produce endorphins, dopamine and serotonin which will heighten your positive emotions and lower your depression.***
