Tips to survive or make freshman year easier.

Title says all. I'll be heading into high school next year, so it'll be good to get some help beforehand. Speedy this should help u 2 =P

Eh I've never been in middle, elementary school before but going in mid-freshman year wasn't hard at all :)

for you, it should be easy tho, since you came in mid-year while also being completely new.

Make some Senior friends. They'll help you along the way. Join some sports team, get to know others better. They can help you also. And clubs if you want.

I know some juniors, not really a dude who does sports, my high school has lots of clubs im interested in :D (anime,chess,ping pong)

Tactics my high school has two parts the freshman ground and the sophmore/junior/senior ground xD(basically two different schools). So I won't be at the bottom of the chain till sophmore year.

Well I'm a freshman at my high school this year...but I'm not sure if I can help because my school is almost completely different that most other high schools in the U.S.

Like the principal once announced over the intercom: Students, I just lost the game.

Your kidding right? lmfao

Well I'm not sure if I can help you at all considering freshmen year for me was a joke and so is sophomore year. Though remember once you know which rooms your classes are in go early to see where they are. idk about your school but at my school seniors like to point freshmen in the wrong directions and switch the signs around so room 105 becomes room 108 etc. other then that just have fun and relax. Spohomore and jr years are probably gonna be hell for you xD

No I'm not kidding. He (or somebody) put the rickroll over the morning announcements on the TV too.
It was like: Now, a special announcement, a video we've all learned to love: Rickroll.

*goes to your school* That seems like a school that isn't boring o,o.

dont get pushed around, make some sophmore friends

Hmm... so here's what i can summarize at this point-
Make higher grade friends.
Don't get lost.
Try to keep your own sanity XD

Pretty much

Freshman year was a breeze for me... Just do good... Don't let the Sophomores/Juniors/Seniors pick on you... Stand up for your self... And join some sports... I joined Track & Field my freshman year and I'm not a sophomore and i love Track & Field....

Hmmm, okie, thnx. These should help. If anyone can think of anymore, please feel free to post.
BTW, what's the hardest part of 9th grade science? I'm gonna take a test in may alligned to CA standards, and if i pass i can head straight to bio :D

I thought Bio was 9th grade... =/
Bio you just need to remember to take notes and understand the topic to memorize easier...and constantly review or you'll probably forget.
I'm taking AP Bio in 10th. I'll tell you how it's like.

Science 9 is hella easy, you just need to have 'some' knowledge of bio, astronomy and chem and you're done (:

lol, maybe for you folks. My 9th sci. is integrated physi. science -_-
I borrowed a 9th gr. sci book from the high school that way i can read it to study up. Right now im on chp. 4. Already stuff i haven't learned yet XD like molecular mass, how to calculate it based on amount, electron cloud positions, other stuff like that.

I want to see the science courses per grade at your school.

i learned that in 6th frade

Tell me the electron cloud position for oxygen. In the correct format please.

Right?
For my school, freshman take integrated physi. or bio. Seniors take bio (physi. and bio required to graduate)
All other science classes are electives for juniors and seniors- biotech, chemistry, honors chem, AP chem, AP bio, geology, oceanography, physics, physiology.
