Upperclassmen Advice

By: Addison Bacon

               High school can be a difficult time for everyone, but as a new freshman, one of the many ways to make the year easier is through relying on the much more experienced upperclassmen for advice. Upperclassmen have already been through a lot and can give helpful tips to any new student who needs help. From school work to activities outside of school, you can look for someone older to offer you pointers. 

Junior Makenna Levian’s message to the freshman class was: “My best advice is to push yourself, but not to the point of breaking. It’s great to challenge yourself, but it’s even better to know when to stop and make sure you are still having fun!” 

Another good piece of advice comes from senior, Tyler Voros, “I think the best advice is to not be afraid to get involved in activities, whether that’s in or outside of school,” he said.  While high school can be hard, finding activities to be involved in can make this new change easier. 

Senior Alexi Thorstenburg said, "Advice I would give to freshmen would be to try new things. Never be afraid to try something different, you might find out you’ll like it! Another thing I would say is be yourself! It’s very easy to follow a crowd and become someone new to “fit in” and lose yourself. Just be you and enjoy high school, it goes by really fast!”
