Well, we all know what it's like going back to school, and being in school we all want to be able to fit in. So, what are some tips for going back to school and still fitting in? Well, first of all, dress. What are going to wear everyday? The only tip available for that is look at what everybody is wearing and go out and buy that style of clothing. No! Wrong, very wrong. One piece of advise is dress that expresses who you are. Being in school, you can't expect for people to like you or dislike because of the way you dress. It's not about what's on the outside, but what is on the inside. Your not going to go to school and change yourself to get people to like you. If they don't like you, move on and find other friends. Whatever makes you feel confident about yourself then thats what it takes to be confident in school.

Another tip for going back to school is make time for yourself. You are going to have all kinds of work shoved into your hands. Set goals and priorities to do those things, and when you get them finished, you'll have more time to yourself. You have to study and make good grades to go off to college to get a good education and have a good job to support you and a family and it all comes back to whether or not you are making good grades in school.

One tip is to make friends and keep them with you at all times, because the friends you make at school will help you get through and school and they know that you will help do the same for you. Friends is going to be one of the best things about school, because once you find those friends, they are going to be the ones you grow up with. If you ever heard the saying "Friends come and go, but family is always there." well, thats not always true. In clubs or sports or other organizations, you will become closer with so many more people and when its time for you all to go your separate ways, you won't. You will keep those friends forever.

Another tip for going back to school is to join a club or sport or both. When you join a club or team, it will look very good and college resumes and even help earn you money for scholarships for college, which all the money you get is better, because college is expensive. In some clubs or teams you can hold a specific position or win a certain award that nobody else will, and that really looks good on college resumes.

With something to think about, think about these few tips, to help better prepare you for school. These would be some tips that I wish somebody would have told me when I was starting school.
