How to Get Ready for the First Day of School Oakland CA

Steps

1. Clothes!- Whether you have your own credit card or your on a budget your first day outfit doesn't need to be expensive or designer. Your outfit should make you feel comfortable and happy. You'll probably feel better if you wear your favorite jeans or shorts you love and add a brand new top or a bold accessory.
2. Skin!- Even if you have acne or a few pimples try to get into a skin regime for back to school. Cleansers and toners should help even our your skin tone. Clean & Clear and Clinique have great products.
3. Preparation!- Just because the summer means no school doesn't mean you should stop learning. Try to read throughout the summer to keep your mind fresh and, if possible, go over a few notes or subjects that you have trouble with or may have forgotten.
4. Friends!- Connect with old friends who've you lost touch with over the summer or those who you haven't seen you due to vacations or camp will really boost your confidence. Even if you don't have classes with them hopefully you'll have the same lunch period to talk with them or plan a girls (or boys) night out every week.
5. Mindset!- If you're going to a new school or you've moved things may be scary. Even for those of you who are staying in the same school, another grade may give you the jitters, but if you go into school with the right attitude you'll feel a lot better about the upcoming year.
