Ready or not, the first day of school is approaching. Take time to plan ahead and prepare so that you can relax and not panic the day before school and safely walk out the door the next morning.

Steps

1. 1 Choose your clothes the day before or even earlier. Don't be in a hurry in the morning. Check with a family member if you need approval or fashion advice, or if you need to make sure the outfit matches.
2. 2 If you're wearing a uniform, you can still show off your style by wearing a nice watch, earrings, or jewelry.
3. 3 Buy a book bag and prepare the rest of the supplies. Put everything next to the door so you can pick it up in the morning before leaving.
4. 4 Have a good dinner, but don't overdo it. Don't drink caffeinated sodas or you won't be able to sleep.
5. 5 Get some exercise during the day, but not too late in the evening. This will help you relieve stress and sleep better.
6. 6 Determine with breakfast the next morning, make it healthy and so that it satiates you. Remember to set aside time for breakfast in the morning. A leisurely breakfast will help you gather your thoughts together and come to school calm and prepared.
7. 7 Pack your lunch during the day, or prepare all the pieces so that you can quickly put everything in your lunch bag in the morning.
8. 8 Call the friends you will be meeting in the morning. And agree on the place and time of the meeting. You can meet them at school or go to school together if they live near you.
9. 9 Make sure your toothbrush, shoes, etc.wherever you can find it. Protect yourself from any problems during your morning rush.
10. 10 Complete all paperwork in advance if you must bring them on the first day of school.
11. 11 Set an alarm before bed. You can set multiple alarms in case you don't wake up right away. You may still be in the mood for summer by waking up late. Sleeping on the first day is something you should avoid, as you might miss out on a few hours of important information.
12. 12 Ask all questions before you go to bed. You can ask parents, guardians, older siblings, or those who have completed the class you are starting.
13. 13 Find out everything about the school in advance. If you are a beginner, then come to school before it starts and find out where what is, and how far apart. If you don't have time for this step, don't worry. Everyone will be a beginner there, so it's okay to ask someone a question, go to the wrong office, etc., especially in the first couple of days.
14. 14 Get a good night's rest. If you have, take sleeping pills. You don't want to stay up all night and worry about everything.
15. 15 Write in your journal if you want to forget about what will happen the next morning or what will be on your mind.

Tips

• Do not go to bed too late, but it is also not worth going to bed too early either, as you will not fall asleep right away and will be worried.
• Don't wait until the last minute. You will regret it.
• Make your own list. If you have things to do, make a list and cross out those things after you've done them. Knowing that you have everything ready, that it should be, you can sleep peacefully.
• If, in the end, you don't wake up from the alarm, make sure a family member wakes you up. Ditto if you don't have an alarm.
• Be confident in yourself.
• Start getting up a little earlier each day a week or two before school. It will be easier if you don't see your first sunrise on your first day of school after waking up at 10 a.m. all summer.
• Try to look your best. This will boost your self-esteem. If you're a girl, put on some pretty makeup, but don't overdo it.

Warnings

• Do your best to get a good night's sleep. This will make a big difference to what you have to face in the morning.
• Don't put the alarm clock directly in front of your bed, place it beyond arm's length so that you really need to get up. This will keep you moving and make sure you don't oversleep.
• Do not take too much. If you are taking sleeping pills, be sure to read the instructions to know the dose!
