You should definitely at least bring something to write with and write on. Pack a pen or pencil and a notebook.

Try to be prepared. Get up on time, pack something to write with and write on, and go over your schedule before school starts. Pay attention in your classes and just try to stay calm. It can be overwhelming, but to survive, just stay calm and go through your schedule and you'll do great!

Great students are definitely organized. They are also motivated to do well. They have dreams or goals that they're trying to accomplish, whether that's applying and getting admitted to an Ivy League college or something else. And they're always doing things and trying their hardest in order to make those things happen.

Question

Should I use a binder for my notes or just a ringed notebook?

Victoria

Top Answerer

This is completely up to you. Consider trying both out to see which one you feel works better. However, be sure that you're sticking to the supply list provided by your teacher. For example, if they require a binder, be sure that you have one for that class.

Question

Should I bring a backpack or just use a binder for all my classes?

Ruby

Top Answerer

You should have a bag as it is more practical. There are a number of things you will need to take to and from school. A bag will also protect your things from the rain.

Question

Will people judge if I don’t wear concealer over pimples?

Ruby

Top Answerer

Probably not. Most people get pimples, some choose to cover them, some don't. At this age, most people are too concerned about their own appearance to care about others'.
