TLDR: look out for yourself + your friends, know how much you can handle academicaly, don't beafraid to ask for help, stay positive and things will slowly start to get better, don't procrastinate, stay organized :DD (also I personally hate clubs but if youre into it join whatever you want :D)

Ok so my first advice is to rid yourself of any anxiety about high school bc it's honestly 384542x better than middle school. Yes there are some bichs and fuqboiz in high school but one of the most important things is to look out for yourself and your closest friends.

About Honors classes: it honestly depends on how much you can handle. For me, I felt that I could easily handle taking Honors Geometry and Honors Biology my freshman year, and I got pretty good grades.

If you find yourself struggling, don't be afraid to ask for help, whether it be from peers, parents, or teachers. Also, remember there is no shame in dropping a class if you find it's too much, but personally, I think it's better to push through the struggles.

Speaking of teachers, you will get some teachers you like and don't like. The important thing is to stay focused and behave well in their class, and soon you might begin to appreciate the way the teach. If you're constantly saying "I hate Mrs. Baguette bc she has this stupid French accent and she's always yelling 'escargot' at us!!" then you're more likely to be miserable in her class. If you try to find positive things about the class, you're more likely to enjoy it, and chances are, Mrs. Baguette might become your favorite teacher.

This one is a really obvious but DONT. PROCRASTINATE. AND. BE. ORGANIZED!! Honestly, my disorganization totally screwed me over freshman year bc I had a tendency to lose things, which resulted in missing assignments. I suggest getting one binder for each class, but if carrying 6-7 binders + textbooks is too heavy, then I suggest investing in those super snazzy portfolio binders. They come with cool sections and you don't have to worry about loose papers or having to hole punch stuff. And with procrastination, you obviously don't have to do it 3878537 weeks before it's due, but at the same time, don't wait until the night before. Especially since you'll have multiple assignments for multiple teachers.
