Life With Lisa: Back to School

Hey Y’all,

Welcome to another addition of Life with Lisa, thank you for joining me today! As we all know, school is starting up again very soon (or already has for some of you) and everyone’s in a rush to do last minute school shopping, get parking tickets (so you can actually park at school, instead of getting your car towed, like I did, or parking all the way down the street!), and getting your schedule fixed; which they seem to mess up every time.

Do they ever get class schedules done right the first time around?! I doubt it.

Instead of running around like a chicken (why is it always a chicken … poor chickens) with my head cut off, I’m ready for school! I have new clothes, shiny new shoes, all the school supplies I’ll ever need, and my parking ticket (so I don’t have to park all the way down the street!). Lisa Smith, is ready for whatever the first day of school throws at her this year!

Which isn’t the same thing I could say for either Freshmen or Sophomore year of High School; I still have nightmares..

Going into High School can be hard, you’re growing up and you’re growing up fast. Ten minutes ago you were playing with dolls and stuffed teddies, before you know it you’re going into middle school, than all of sudden you’re growing hair in places you’ve never had hair before, your voice gets deeper, and you’re three feet taller, finding yourself going into High School.

Things really change in those three or four short years of life, but it’s all about finding out who YOU are, and who YOU want to be.

After being the oldest in a relatively small school, going into a huge High School can be a bit nerve wrecking. Trust me, I know, I was in the exact same situation just two short years ago! Instead of being on top of the food chain, now your officially at the bottom.

Luckily, my high school has a awesome summer program for incoming Freshmen. Basically you come to school or two weeks throughout the summer, and learn the ropes of high school; getting to know the school, the teachers, and a hand full of upperclassmen. If you’re a soon-to-be Freshie you should see if your school also offers a program or something like this, its a great way to practice for the first day of school.

After going to this program, and getting to meet some other Freshmen, my first day of school wasn’t too bad. Which doesn’t mean, that I didn’t want my dad there holding my hand the whole time and making me feel safe, but things didn’t go as bad as I thought they would! I came home with no broken bones, sooo that’s good … right?

So I guess in this post, I just wanted to say good luck throughout your first day of school. Remember school is only fun, if you make it fun. And why not? We all have to go, so just relax, learn and have a kick butt time! 🙂
