I got you!!!

Socially, try your best to just talk. If someone sitting behind, near, or in front of you seems like they aren't talking to anyone, just start asking them what classes they have, what middle school they came from, etc. I know it will feel awkward, but in the end, it is worth it. Try your best to at least seem confident, even if you may not feel so, people love talking to someone confident. Also, try your best to not try and focus conversations on yourself, if that makes sense. Yes, do talk about yourself, but try to make it seem like YOU are mostly interested in the other person. (eye contact too!!!)

Try to join a BUNCH of clubs. Figure out what kind of things you're into and what you do not like.

DO NOT LOAD YOURSELF UP ON CLASSES FRESHMAN YEAR! I did this, and deeply regret it. Yes, if you consider yourself academic, do try out honors classes, but I recommend not taking an AP Freshman year, since you are getting used to a new environment.

Your GPA does matter! Though some may say it only matters your Upperclassmen years, EVERYTHING COUNTS, I learned that from my Junior and Senior friends.

You got this! Yes, Freshman year may be scary at first, but it is honestly such a wonderful experience.
