Hello,
I am going to be a junior at a new school after I move this summer. I am moving to a completely different state, and will know no one. I will be starting school on the first day of the new school year.
Once I am comfortable with my surroundings I'm a pretty upbeat, outgoing people person. But since I'm starting in a completely new place I'm a bit nervous (which is to be expected...) I'm nervous mostly about looking like a loner? If that makes sense. Like before school when I get dropped off, what do I do for twenty minutes!? Or during lunch, I might be able to go up to a table and ask if I can sit down, but in case that doesn't work, if I bring a book will I look like a complete freak if I sit alone at a table, reading? I think it's just going to be wierd because since it's the beggining of junior year, everyone already has thier friends and knows everyone from last year (sophomore year) and will be talking about what they did over summer vacation and I'll just be quiet.
I know everyone says to be confident, and I can be that way, once I am comfortable in a place. But it's even more difficult because I've never been to school here and don't know anyone at all my age. How can I get passed the "uncomfortable in this place" stage? Any tips on starting school in a new place?? How to seem like the girl that is interesting and everyone wants to talk to again?
Thanks!!
