Freshman tips! Always turn down weed-- I cant stress this enough. If teachers even smell it on u, u can be arrested and expelled bcos they thought u smoked. Carry a water bottle always and drink from it often. Keep a planner w assignments. Ask abt missed work!! Dont be afraid to sit like.. out of the way/on the floor during lunch if it's too much/loud. Or even library. Charge ur electronics then too. Be nice to ppl, smile @ strangers, u dont know whts going on w other. Make friends w staff
Also like (and y‘all might laugh but it’s true) some people are allergic to weed and you should tell others you are too because 1: you won’t know if you haven’t tried it, 2: reactions can range from mild nausea to SEVERE, 3: it’s an extremely good way of getting out of being offered it and 4: seriously just don’t hang around people who have it, please, you have other things to worry about. If they scoff at you and say people can’t be allergic, y’all can say your relative is allergic. They usually believe you.
MOST IMPORTANTLY:
TRUST. YOUR. GUT.
If ANYONE makes you feel uncomfortable even if they haven’t done anything, even if you’re just near them, even if they are a teacher, trust your gut, get out of there, and avoid them.
Also please don’t flirt with teachers. I might not have attended highschool but I sure as hell have volunteered with my father who has taught at many and it’s really REALLY uncomfortable to be flirted with by someone that young. ALSO? If they flirt back? HUGE WARNING SIGN?? DON’T DO IT???
