Rrrring! That’s the bell for another new term. How do you feel when you are in a new school? Do you have feeling of happiness and excitement or feeling of fear? New teachers, classes, classmates and maybe even a new school can all cause students to worry. But there are some things you can do to avoid back-to-school blues.

Become familiar.

Will you go to a new school this year? Then during the summer, visit your new school and find out the answers to the following questions. Your first day won’t be in a mess.

Where is it? How long does it take you to get there?

Keep it in balance

Decide how many activities you’ll take part in, and don’t do too much. Achieving a balance between schoolwork and extra activities will keep your stress level low.

Make a smart start

Get plenty of rest. It sounds simple, but most teenagers get far less sleep than they need. Studies show that a teen needs over nine hours of sleep a night. When tired, they all become more easily stressed. And stress makes everything seem worse than it really is.

Here is another tip to help you prepare for the first day of school. You’d better start going to bed and getting up at your school time two weeks before school begins. Then your body and mind will become rested and prepared for the first day.

Get involved

The best way to make new friends is to join school clubs. Choose something you enjoy and you’ll meet people who share your interests.

All in all, with the rest, preparation and the good mood, you will certainly have a great school year.

Most Americans enjoy moving from place to place. For example, they often drive their cars 120 to 160 kilometers away just to have dinner with a friend or even fly to Europe just for watching a football match. In some states only one person in five lives in a place for more than five years. One may be born in one city, and go to school in another. He may finish his middle school in two or three cities, and then attend a college far across the country. When he has entered business, he may possibly move from job to job. Moving from one job to another, which is called “job-hopping”, is a very common practice in the United States. Job-hopping does good to workers, because every change of a job gives them a chance to move up to a higher position and to get better pay. And job-hopping also gives bosses the chance to get new ideas and skills that different people bring to their companies and factories.
