Back in the Swing of Things

Entering a new place can be hard for some, but easy for others. As freshman, one enters the school with several new students, new teachers, a larger environment to adjust to, and less knowledge on the tone of the school. There are several things that not only freshmen but school attendants can do to make that no longer an issue.

“It was confusing to know where to go,” said freshman Jacob Ramig.

Getting used to the layout of the school can be very confusing, if that is a problem you can go to the front office and ask the attendants to print you out a map of the school.

“Finding time to do sports and complete homework was the hardest,” Ramig said.

High school students hold very busy lives. At the beginning of the school year every student is issued a student handbook. The handbooks are not only to enforce the rules of the school, but to help organize the lives of the students. The student handbook is very useful, and should be used as much as possible.

As for sophomores getting used to school after an enjoyable summer is a little bit easier.

“The first few days of school were good because we got to see our friends we haven’t seen in a while,” said sophomores Rebecca Cleven and Erika Gallimore.

Whether the school is new or old to you, you will find yourself very familiar with it in no time.

“It was hard to get up every morning and get out of bed,” said Cleven.

Problems like this can be easily fixed by setting an alarm clock or reminder on a phone.

The change from summer to school may not be easy, but there are simple steps that you can take that will make the transition easier on you.
