You are not a kid anymore.You graduated from elementary school.This article will help you prepare for middle school if you are worried about the transition to a new school.
Step 1: You can either get the uniform or have fresh, clean sets of clothing.
You will need different kinds of clothes for different purposes: skirts, shorts, slacks, blouses, shirts, jacket/sweater, and so on.Find out what you need at the open house day.If your school does not have a uniform rule, wear what you want as long as you stay within the dress code.Solid colored t-shirts, jeans, and solid jackets are basics.About 70% of your closet should be that.The other 30% can be weekend t-shirts, splattered/color jeans or favorite jackets.If you're not familiar with the dress code, most of the time it's two finger spacing for tank tops, shorts can't be more than two inches above the knee, and the neckline of your shirt has to be three inches from your neck.Try to look as nice as possible by wearing something that the dress code will allow.To make a good first impression, dress nicely.
Step 2: You can try a little makeup.
If these are allowed, lay out your make up and other accessories.Try a necklace or scarf.Don't go over the top with your makeup, just something to make your outfit look unique.Most middle school students don't wear makeup.If you don't want to wear it, you can just not.B.B. is one of the good things to start off with.Cream is a lighter version of foundation that isn't as noticeable.
Step 3: You should buy the school supplies on your list.
Ask a friend or go to the school website if you lost it.Check the school website if you were given one.If they say you don't need anything special on the first day, you should bring 2 pencils, an eraser, some paper and a folder.Bring a small, inexpensive good luck charm or wear your favorite shirt or skirt if you want an extra confidence boost.
Step 4: Just in case, bring a thin folder for papers and a reading book.
Place the similar subjects in the same folder.This will make things easier for you.
Step 5: Take your own needs into account.
If you've had your period before or not, it's always a good idea to have some pads in your locker or backpack.Place them in a case with other things you might need.Emergency makeup, spare raincoat, plasters.
Step 6: You should decorate your bag.
This is optional, but a cute bag will most likely spark others' attention and interest as well as boost your confidence.If you want to make it look more unique, you can use fabric markers or fabric paint, or just hang it and stick it on pins.If your parents approve, you'll still be able to use it next year.
Step 7: It's important to have good personal hygiene.
If you took a shower the night before, wash your face.If you have braces, floss and brush your teeth.
Step 8: Get dressed.
Pick clothes the night before.Preparing the night before the first day of school is important.You should iron and smooth the uniform if you are going to wear it.Before you leave, make sure to look at the mirror.
Step 9: You can style your hair by brushing it.
Try to keep your hair out of your face because you will be concentrating in school.You can clip up your hair.Pull back your hair and braid it for a more classy look.Ponytail, French/Dutch/Fishtail/Infinity braid, pigtails, half up-do, side braid or a bun are some good back to school hair styles.
Step 10: Look good.
You don't want the makeup to look sloppy so take your time.Make sure it's even.If you want a natural look for middle school, don't use eyeliner, eyeshadow, or heavy blush.There's plenty of time for makeup looks in high school.It's impractical for school to have a full face of foundation.A light concealer looks more natural and appropriate if you want to cover blemish.Don't wear lipstick if you want to try some lipgloss.You will look old.
Step 11: Have a good breakfast.
Try delicious and healthy foods such as waffles, pancakes, yogurt, bagel with cream cheese, or a breakfast burrito that will keep you full until lunchtime or recess.Sugary cereals will make you hyper and crash halfway through the day.That way, you won't starve all day but stay focused.
Step 12: It's a good idea to prevent bad breath.
After flossing and brushing your teeth, rinse with water.Bring mints with you.
Step 13: Make sure you have everything.
You want to be prepared.Make sure everything is in your bag.If your school gives you a chance, pack a large lunch and snack.You don't have to leave class if you have a water bottle with you.
Step 14: You can either get on the bus or sit with someone you know.
If you're alone, don't sit by the window unless you want someone to sit next to you.If you are new to your school, you should ask someone who looks friendly or alone if you can sit next to them.Plug in your mp3 player and ignore the crowd if you're by yourself.It's important to remember your stops if you're taking public transit.You should keep a log on your phone.Your first day will be ruined if you are late.
Step 15: Be positive.
A likable trait is confidence.You will get a lot of friends if you have confidence.It increases your popularity.Practice is a good way to become confident.Standing in front of a mirror is a good way to practice.You can read a passage that motivates you.Try togesticulate as much as possible.You will start to do it around other people if you do this enough.Averting your eyes is seen as shy and not confident.
Step 16: Don't give yourself a bad attitude.
You should always have a smile on your face.If you act-up as if you're angry, you may give yourself a bad reputation to be overcoming and undoing for weeks/months, or all year.
Step 17: Expect things to be different.
The first day of school may be difficult for some.Get 8 to 10 hours of sleep and wake up an hour early to make it more enjoyable.If you didn't shower the night before, shower in the morning.
Step 18: Enjoy your day!
The usual class routines are done.
Step 19: When the day is over, chill out.
If you want to watch your favorite show, you need to check your TV guide, have a snack, and do your homework.If it's on soon, have a snack, set your recorder to record the show, and do your homework.You can swap first day stories with your friends after that.Time to think about the day and what could have been better.Think about good and bad events in life.
