After a long holiday break of sleeping in or doing things in your time, the alarm bell announcing the first day of school can come off as quite a shock. Whether you're an anxious new freshman or a confident senior, heading back to school means a time of transition: new classes, new teachers, new schedules, and a new social scene. Hate it or love it, you have to go to school. Here are some ways to make the change from holidays to school a little better.

The First-Day
The first day of school can be crazy. Freshmen walking around everywhere, running in all directions, looking for their classrooms.

How can you combat first-day chaos?
If you're starting at a new school, try to go for a visit before school starts. Most schools offer maps in their handbooks. Get one and give it a read before heading off to school — then keep it in your bag until you're familiar with your new environment.

Your first day of school is also the time to bring in some new stationeries and papers. It can help to pack your school bag the night before school starts so you're not gonna panic at the last minute looking for what you need. And don't forget to bring back any forms that you'll need to hand in! Nobody would wanna start the first day of school leaving a bad impression on your form teacher 'cos of a form you forgot to bring.

Schools usually starts with an assembly. You'll meet your new discipline mistress, teachers and they'll probably give you an overview of the school, its rules, what the term will be like and what is expected of your behavior. Afer that and introductions of the teacher and your classmates, some teachers will jump right into their first lesson, while others may have interactive activities planned. It all depends on what class, what teacher.
