Steps

Method 1 of 4: Prepare the night before

1. 

   Have your clothes and school supplies available. Take some time to choose the outfit you like or prepare the uniform and place it by the bedside so you can quickly put it on without having to frantically find clothes. Choose clothes that give you a sense of confidence, and remember to be clean! Pack your school supplies in your backpack so you can just grab and go to school.
   • If you must wear a school uniform, you can add accessories to create your own style. Jewelry such as necklaces or bracelets will add a highlight to your uniform. As long as you don't violate the school rules.
   • Remember to follow the school dress code, even if you are not in a uniform. You don't want to get into trouble in the first class, do you?

2. 

   
   
   Plan how you will get to school tomorrow. Think if you're going to ride a school bus, get a friend to pick you up, or your parents will take you to school to make arrangements. Don't wait until the last minute to scramble to find a way!
   • If you are close by, you can walk or cycle to school.
   • If you take the shuttle bus, you will have the opportunity to chat with your classmates and make new friends.
   • You can also join a carpooling association so you can ride with your friends.
3. Timer alarm 2 times 10 minutes apart to ensure waking up on time. Make plenty of time to wake up and get ready for the first day of school by setting the alarm one hour before going to school. Set up 2 alarms on your watch or phone so you don't fall asleep or hit delay and fall asleep.
   • Choose a loud bell that makes you sure to wake up.
   • Try setting the alarm a little further away so that you will have to get out of bed to turn it off. This way you will not fall back to sleep.

4. 

   
   
   Relax for about 30 minutes before going to bed, and try to get at least 8 hours of sleep. Store your phone and turn off the television about half an hour before bed to calm your mind, especially if you feel nervous. Try listening to soothing music or reading a relaxing book. Go to bed early for a good night's sleep so that the next morning you will wake up feeling well and ready for the day.
   • If you stayed up late during the summer break, try going to bed earlier in the week before school starts to reset your routine.
   • If you find it difficult to sleep, read a book. You will naturally feel sleepy.
5. Talk to your parents or friends if you're worried about the new school year. It is perfectly normal to feel a bit tense and nervous before the new school year. Try talking to someone you trust, like a close friend or family member. Tell them how you are feeling. People will encourage you, and you will calm down.
   • You don't have to hide your feelings. If you're worried, talk to someone. If it's a classmate, chances are she's just as nervous as you are!
   • Your parents may remind you of times when you were nervous, but in the end you successfully completed a task. For example, a few years ago you might have been terribly nervous before the first class, but in the end you did well, right?

Method 2 of 4: Pass the first class session smoothly

1. 

   
   
   Eat a nutritious, full breakfast to keep your fuel up. Kick-start your day properly with a healthy breakfast that will keep you energized until lunch. Breakfast should be nutritionally balanced with protein and carbs, such as eggs and toast or a bowl of cereal with delicious milk. Savor some fruits and vegetables as well.
   • Do not overeat, lest you feel tired and sluggish again.
   • If you are so nervous that you cannot eat, at least try to eat a piece of bread or fruit so that something in your stomach will help you through until lunch.

   Experts agree that:The best way to prepare for the first day of school is getting enough sleep, getting up early and having a good breakfast. Once prepared, you will no longer worry and stress.

2. 

   Arrive 15 minutes early to find class. Get to school a little early so you don't have to worry about being late or looking for class. Find your friends to see if anyone is in the same class as you. Find a classroom to know where you need to go.
   • You will be less anxious on the first day of school if you know where you need to go and where everything is going.
   • If you are taking the shuttle bus, you will usually arrive a few minutes earlier before class starts. That way, you'll have plenty of time to find friends and get to know classes.
3. Introduce yourself to the teacher for a good start. When you get to class, talk to the teacher. Tell the teacher what your name is and what you like about the subject. You will make a good impression on your teacher, and if you need help in the future, the chances of your teacher remembering you will be much higher.
   • For example, if you like history, tell your history teacher that you are looking forward to learning about something in history.
   • A good relationship with a teacher can be of great help if you need to improve your grades by the end of the school year.

4. 

   Concentrate and contribute to building lessons in class. Ask questions if you are unsure of something and raise your hand if you know the answer to the question asked by your teacher. There may not be many assignments or lectures in the first session, but if you do, make sure to take your notes home to review. If your teacher needs a volunteer, don't hesitate to step up! But if you're too nervous, you can still sit still, take notes and answer when called.
   • If you're an introvert, don't worry. You can still be a good student, even if you're not your class comedian or the most outstanding person in your class.

5. 

   Talk to friends and classmates about your summer vacation. School is a great place to meet old friends and make new friends. Find old friends and tell each other what you did over the summer. Introduce yourself to new friends in the classroom or in the classroom hallway to make friends. You will be less restless when you talk to your friends.
   • If you have social anxiety, building up the courage to make new friends on the first day of class will help you overcome your shyness. Soon you will find that almost everyone around you can be friends you never thought of talking to!

6. 

   Try to have fun in your first class. Although the first day of class has a lot to look out for, usually the teacher won't assign a lot of homework, and you will spend most of your time learning about new classes and schedules. Take this opportunity to relax and familiarize yourself with the new school year schedule, have fun meeting your friends and enjoying lunch. Feel free to enjoy the fun in the new school year!
   • Around you are the people who will accompany you in the new school year, and there is no reason why you are not happy with them.
   • Try to get rid of your worries, and don't forget to always smile!

7. 

   Relax and relax when you get home from school. Feel free to relax when you go home to avoid feeling overwhelmed on the first day of school. You can play games, have snacks, lie on the couch or watch TV to relax.
   • If you have homework, be sure to take a little time to deal it.
   • Ask a friend to meet in class to hang out or do something together.
   • There is nothing more comfortable than coming home the first day of school. So enjoy it!
   • The first day of school seemed strangely long compared to the other days, in large part because you were having so many things and many people at once. Please pamper yourself a little!

Method 3 of 4: Prepare for the summer vacation

1. 

   Find the clubs and sports teams you want to join. The school's clubs are usually open at the beginning of the school year, so it's a good idea to look for sports clubs and groups on campus now. Search online and ask around if there are any groups that match your interests to sign up early this year.
   • You can also check the school bulletin board or call the office to learn more about sports clubs and teams.
   • Do you love music? Join the choir or the guitar club. Or do you love movies by Akira Kurosawa and Lars von Trier? Then the school's movie club might be the perfect place for you.
   • Clubs nurture your existing hobbies and are the perfect place to meet your "frequency" friends.
   • If you are really passionate about something the school doesn't have a club for, start a club yourself!

2. 

   "Fix" all of the summer vacation assignments in pieces. If you're given a reading over the summer break, don't wait for the water to reach your feet to jump - or worse yet, hide. Work on tackling each session over the summer so that you can complete and prepare for the assignments before the new school year begins. Set a goal for yourself to read at least as many pages each day so that the book will be read by before entering the new school year.
   • For example, you could count the number of pages in a book and divide the number of pages by the number of days during the summer vacation and use that as a daily reading.
   • It's not just because the post is delivered, but your summer vacation gets messed up or ruined. Try reading a chapter every two to three days so you don't get overwhelmed.

3. 

   Meet your classmates to make the first day of school easier. Get together and have fun with your friends at the same school so that by the start of the day you won't be too stressed out. You will see your classmates again on the first day of school, and this can be of great relief from anxiety or anxiety. Spend time with friends during the summer holidays.
   • If you can't meet your friends, try calling or video chatting with them. You can even play games together to keep in touch.
   • Follow social media to see how your classmates are doing and how their vacation is going.

4. 

   Have your school supplies ready to keep everything you need ready. See the list of supplies and gather everything so you don't have to fumble with last-minute searches. Choose cover cards, pens, and paper clips that you like and match your style for the enjoyment of using them at school.
   • Buy a planner to keep track of important dates and homework.
5. Choose a stylish and convenient backpack for the new school year. Find a backpack in your favorite color and design. Remember, the backpack should be large enough to hold all your books and have plenty of compartments for school supplies. Try wearing a few to see if they fit and choose a backpack with a comfortable strap when packed.
   • Choose backpacks at school supplies stores or supermarkets and try a few to see how it feels.
   • You can also order the backpack online, but that won't be tried before you buy.
   • Remember that you will have to wear a backpack every day, so your backpack should be both sleek and comfortable.

6. 

   Clean up the room to prepare for the new school year. It's nice to come home after school with a neat and clean room, so take the time to clean your room before the first day of school so you can relax and relieve stress. Clean up the desks, stash clothes, and vacuum the carpet. You also need to arrange a tidy space for studying in the new school year.
   • You might be amazed how much mess and junk accumulates during summer vacation.
   • Spray some fragrant water in the room to freshen it up.
   • If you feel nervous or anxious, cleaning your room will also make you less stressed.

Method 4 of 4: Adapting to a form of distance learning

1. Create a space at home for distance learning. Find a nice, clean, quiet area where you can easily concentrate. Set up desks, organize learning tools and devices, such as computers, for distance learning ready.
   • For example, you can use the kitchen table or your bedroom desk as a place to study.
   • Try to minimize distractions so you can focus on your study.
   • Keep the study space clean and tidy for your full attention to study.
2. Prepare as usual when you get to school. Follow the same practices you would do before you go to school every morning, like showering, brushing your teeth and eating a delicious breakfast. Change into your pajamas and dress in nice clothes to focus on class and make it easier to concentrate.
   • When you dress as normal school, your brain and body will be signaled that it's time to work, and this can help motivate you.
   • In addition, you probably want to look decent and professional, especially if you study through video chat with teachers and classmates.
3. Review the e-learning system and school curriculum. If your school uses a Learning Management System (LMS) for a virtual classroom setting, take the time to dig into the details. View class schedules and prepare classes so you can schedule time for the day, which will help you cope with feelings of stress and anxiety.
   • Many LMS programs have instructions and instructions on how to use them. Do your research so you can master it.
   • Follow the teacher's instructions about distance learning.
4. Use the planner to keep things organized. Choose a beautiful notebook that you like and write down the time to submit and the date of the test. Look at your planner each day to see what you are going to do and make sure all classes are covered. If you have any changes to your assigned assignment or anything new, be sure to write it in your notebook.
   • The planner comes in a variety of formats and designs, so you can choose which one is really nice that you really like and want to use!
   • You can find them at stationery stores or supermarkets. You can also order online.
5. Participate in building assignments in online classes and assignments. Whether you are using the LMS, following the teacher's instructions, or studying via video conferencing with your teacher and classmates, try to be actively contributing to building lessons as much as possible. Listen to lectures, ask questions and volunteer to answer teachers' questions to maximize knowledge, and this can be helpful if you are worried about grades or tests.
   • You may be a bit afraid of distance learning if you are new to it, but don't worry! If you study hard, concentrate and ask your teacher for help when you don't understand the lesson, you will get good results.
6. Complete the assignment and ask questions if you have any questions. Teachers will assign assignments and assignments as part of the distance learning program. Complete your assignments on time to keep up with the course and never get overwhelmed. If you do not understand a problem, ask the teacher for help or explain clearly.
   • For many teachers and students, distance learning is quite new, so don't hesitate to ask for help if you can't keep up!
7. Take a short break every hour to help your mind focus. Give your brain a break by getting up and going around for 5 minutes every hour. Take a sip of water and stretch to increase blood circulation. After a break, you will feel refreshed and focused so you can get back to work.
   • Remember that you don't have breaks and lunches like you did at school, so give yourself a break and a snack to maintain focus.
8. See a teacher if you're having trouble. If you don't understand something or have trouble accessing the resource, text the teacher via email or LMS. Explain your issue in detail, including all the things you tried to fix and still failed.
   • Do not be afraid to ask everyone for support!
   • Being careful is better, and ask if you are unsure of something so you don't waste time or do it wrong.
