    ^ Name says all, really. I just wanted to make this thread to see who's going back to school, how they feel about it, and if anyone has any advice for those going back to school. ^_^ I will be back in school in 2 days and I couldn't be more excited! I'll be taking a ton of advanced classes, but hopefully things won't be too bad. X_X

    My first day was today. It was pretty good actually which is surprising 'cause my first days tend to suck as I was always left in too much confusion. There's multiple people in some of my classes that I wanted to talk with more last year, maybe this will be my chance. I also talked with somebody I knew pretty well from last year. Teachers seem nice. Also, I'm by far the best in my German (German 3) class 'cause I speak it with my dad and lived there for the first 10 years of my life. Overall, I had little trouble adjusting to the new schedule. It felt like just another school-day.

    I can't wait to go back to school too! I will be starting my diploma and I will be taking all of the subjects that I love! :slight_smile: For advice, I would say: Have fun, study and enjoy!

    I go back to school this Thursday. Quite a bit earlier than most first days of school.

    :tears:

    It's always such a bother to have to adjust to a new schedule. Not knowing what might happen and being around people my age gives me horrible anxiety and a stomach ache. :frowning2: New classrooms and teachers... I'm so scared! :tears:

    ^_^ I am starting tomorrow, but one thing worries me a bit: I'll probably have to change clothes midday in the school locker-rooms... My school's cool about letting trans people use the locker-rooms and restrooms of their choice, but I don't know if I SHOULD use the guy's locker-room. What do you guys think? :/ I'm not modest, but I don't want to make my classmates uncomfortable I guess. >_< Eh, whatever- If I hear complaints I'll deal with it then.

    Wow you guys start school early! Do you also end early or get longer breaks or something? I've been stressing out over going back to school (about the homework and late nights doing it plus going back to dance and the fact that I only have five volunteer hours - and because people I don't know very well make me anxious and wish I could turn invisible).

    Oh okay. That explains it - my school ended around June 27 or some time around there.

    I'm going back to school in about 3 weeks and than most likely in 3-5 months I will be moving to a new state to start at a different school again. (3 different high schools (if I count summer school than 4) in 3 different states in one year).:tears:

    I'm going to try and join the Gay Straight Alliance club at the school for the first time, so I'm excited for that. I'm nervous about the people and my classes though. It will be my senior year!

    As for advice for going back to school, well the only thing I can think of to say is enjoy yourself, you can only go to high school once.

    Yeah but the break is probably about the same length because I don't go back until September six.

    I'm raging right now.
    Moved to another school for a variety of reasons and my "Algebra" (Integrated Math I) and English credits didn't transfer.
    I'm a good person why is this HAPPENING TO ME?!
    Anyway, going back next Wednesday, got out of my old school on the 20th of May so I got a little bit of an extended break, so yay.
    Also I have PE, and we'll be swimming and I have a huge fear of that. Not looking forward to PE in general really.

    Please don't remind me. It's going to be my last year of high school, and I'm already stressing over schedules and college stuff and SATs before the school year even begins.

    Give me the rest of August to delude myself into thinking won't have to go back.

    I'm starting high school in about one week and one day. I'm super nervous, orientation is tomorrow. I'm not starting at a new school so I still have all my friends, but... It's still pretty scary!!

    I know, I was pretty nervous when I started highschool too. I still get nervous when I start new semesters! On my first day I came extra early to map out my routes to my different classes so I could get there on time (and maybe even early so I could pick a seat I liked). Even if it may seem new and intimidating at first after a few days you get into the rythym of things and realise that its still just same old school - business as usual - just in a different location. Best of luck starting highschool :slight_smile:!
