Totally agree, I also believe that this goes for any major move to a different school. People know nothing about you so you can improve without "fear of judgment".
I have done this, I changed myself to do homework/assignments in time, never turned in late, and get in a good friend circle, ngl it was the biggest change I've ever made in my life
@@ArtAlpha108 when you look at others relationships, you may realize that people tend to be 'friends' to someone they can do something together with. So i agree with Akshara, though when you friends w/people dont just stick with just one topic of discussion or else it might just get boring
I’m going to college in a few months, in this is the reason why I’m so excited for it. I finally get to fix who I am without people comparing me with how I was before.
*To all the dreamers out there, don't ever let the world's negativity disenchant you or your spirit. If you surround yourself with love and right people, ANYTHING is possible...*
To the dreamers out there, don’t let reality get you down. Learn how to be thoroughly pretentious; mentally, physically, and emotionally to get the interest of favorable people. Go be the worst person you can for your own benefit and if anyone says otherwise, call them toxic and manipulative. Make the world go round with your wasteful and sorry excuse of an existence. Remember, your quality of life will always matter more than anyone else’s. So when death comes, you’ve convinced yourself you have something of value to lose. Never give up on your shitty dreams ❤️
i just got accepted into university and i’ve been thinking about this a lot. im a loner and i have a shy personality, but i hate being alone all the time. I’m forcing myself to get out of my comfort zone before i graduate so when i get to university it’ll be easier for me to make friends and go to events. I’m also completely flipping my style, doing a personality overhaul and im forcing myself to mature faster: im been childish for toooo long
Starting college is like a restart for yourself. It so hard to change to be someone you like more when you've gone to the same school and people know who you are but in college nobody knows so its time to set a new imagine for yourself.
I've litterally already been doing this. I was bullied for the majority of my time in secondary school and now I'm in college and the very same people who would have bullied me now seems to want to be my friend. It might be because I started working out before I went into college or because I made a lot of friends on my first day But honestly I'm just happy I get a fresh start. I've groomed myself more. I workout almost every day. I make sure I smell good and I actually enjoy learning now.
i’m moving schools but the issue is that many people from my previous school will be moving to that same school so i can’t change anything about myself without the fear of judgement 😭
*Everything negative around you is an opportunity for you to rise up. Stop caring about what others are thinking, just start putting in the work. I am cheering for you...*
As someone who has changed 7+ schools , sure change is good but not all the time. Too much change can overwhelm you and it's not always positive. However, the best you can do is try to stay happy and positive while adapting to the change.
Hi Gohar, I am only 10 and you have made a great impact on my education and your tips are amazing. Your tips helped me get a 4 on my state test last year. Thank you.
I’ve been doing this since elementary school. Thankfully/Sadly my parents have to move around a lot so I also have to move schools a lot. Everytime I go into a new school, I always think “who should I be on this school?”. I’ve been one of the most popular kid in school, I’ve been the flunking kid, I’ve been one of the smartest kids, I’ve been the bully, i’ve been the normal kid, etc. Sadly, this also means everyone knows me differently, but thankfully I now know what kind of person I want to be: a smart dude who never goes out but still has a lot of friends. The dude in my first year HS lived a life like that and since then I have strived to be like him. The key for that is to make full use of the little time you spend with your friends. They’ll remember you as the guy who’s fun to be around with, instead of the dude that rarely goes out.
this is probably the most useful tip for college freshmen. i really recommend you try to not desperately "fit in" or find a clique. not saying dont find friends because theyre essential, but use college as an opportunity to reinvent yourself completely. you can allow yourself to ditch bad habits and create better ones. i took a gap year between hs and college to think about what i'd like to study, and in that time i got to reflect on my life till that point. it was invaluable time, and i made the right choice for my major. i graduate next year 🤘 also, take advantage of your library and talk to librarians, especially if youre going into a research-intensive field like i am
yes this is true. from elementary school to highschool I'm on the same city, on the same town, most of my friends are the same people I live through that time. and then when I'm on college it's totally different. I can be whatever I wanted to be, I can change my personality and lifestyle for the better without some judgement. it's a whole new people, environment, and circle.
Starting college as a freshman next year.....this is really helpful. It will be a new start. I have the opportunity rn to change and transform into a better version of myself. Thanks for the tip!
Currently in senior high school at my local school, it was the first time I changed schools since I've been in the same school since kindergarten until my junior high school years, and the past year until now is honestly the worst school days of my life, I am pretty bad and always get anxious when socializing with people I don't know, so in the end I presented myself as a very quiet and introverted person, when in reality my closest friends know me as pretty extroverted and easy to get along with, each day I go to school now I have no one to talk to, it's just hard to get through a day when you see your other classmates with their friend groups, I'm honestly waiting for this school year to end so I could go to college and present myself how I wanted to present myself, have a good circle of friends that I could rely on throughout my college life.
introverts should be the one desperate for this chance if they want to talk to people because if they know and they don’t then kinda bringing it on themselves
I did that for middle school. I think i changed some things (mostly social stuff and education partly) for the better. I also did it in highschool whem i changed schools again and this time aiming to be a better student, study by myself for myself, be more active in class and engaging in the lesson, have my homework ready and try to meet new people. It all went great at first, then i started losing a bit in the social department in the school, the kids weren't what i expected nor something i really wanted to have in my life. And then after a small while i got tired eith the educational department. Thought i would take it a bit easy, try not to go full turbo in every class and get some off-brain time at lessons lile religion or Sports. And yhe the qurantine hit. My social life from that school pummelled while the ones from my other school ,that i tended to slightly neglect to focuse on studying, flourished. My motivation for education was just gone though. And it didn't really come back. But i had already established a good first impression so even if i wasn't as active peoeple just saw me as the good kid that writes well in the tests and has the homework but doenst talk in class and looks tired all of them time most likely because of her horrid class( it was later confirmed in the next two years that my class would be disgustingly horrible in some aspects and it wasn't because of the guys. Well most of them time it wasn't. Regardless I do wonder what would have happened if i kept up at the pace i set at first. If i would hurn out or rise above
As a child who’s father is in the army and we change locations so often that I meet some old friends in a different school like years later I tend to change my personality a lot it is super funny when an old friend sees how much you changed 😂❤
I did this unconsciously, i change the way i spoke, my outfit and my study habit. I'm trying to improve myself from the past self. However, one of my classmate used to be my senior in my highschool and he recognised me, it gave me major anxiety and i always tried to avoid him
My high school is split in two, the people who want to go to the other one aren’t in the main one. For that reason, I’m excited for a fresh new chance at the high school because almost nobody would know me.
Before quarantine, I never really wanted to go to college because I didn't know what to take yet. Mid-quarantine period, I started to imagine life in college. Now, I sometimes hope that things would get back to normal before I get into college because it honestly makes me want to start a new. Right now, I actually am still procrastinating on my studies, but that's because I can't focus instantly on the work at hand, so I'm probably gonna get fucked in college.
I go to two colleges and I'm completely different in both. At one of them I'm an extrovert and the other I chose to be an introvert. Super strange but I did it so I could focus at the other.
The fact that I try change myself and present my image in a better way to my environment but everything mess ups and at the end things become same as they were on the previous ppace
Pharmacy school starts next Monday and im going to be sharing classes with two of my scheming, competitive cousins i kinda sorta want to kick the bucket
I wanted to do this when I got to high school. Used to be shy and known for being the smart kid. I hated it tho. Then I realized that most of my friend were going to the same high school so I stayed the same. Hopefully college will be different 😅.
When I transferred into high school, I was talking to my one friend about how the person she knows as me could actually not be me at all, I could be putting on a mask. Almost immediately she ghosted me and never spoke to me again.
You can always decide to change things about yourself without going to a new place, who cares about the fear or judgment from people, don’t let it stop you from becoming the best you
i went full 180⁰ on my mindset. if you put the school me and college me in the same room my college selfs gonna beat my school self ass cause i used to be a total miserable introvert loser at school. At college no one could know the past me and no school friend could relate to the new me.
Im already finishing my final year at the University... I'm not much better than I was in high school but I think I changed a little bit in better cs of the environment I came in and some of the people that I met + the self development lessons I got to learn searching for bettering myself in the times of pandemic yeah... and yeah I can't wait to change much more and become independent... it won't be easy because of the many inhibitions I've got from when I was a child (mainly thanks to my mom and my type of personality which is kinda shy but also full of moments of sudden jumps I'd say - I sometimes wonder if i don't secretly have some kind of ADHD - ik such people can be also great but for me would be harder to cope with some things... but if I grew up with this I think I can manage and now... but if more responsibilities are added to my table it can make a bit problematic.. but hopefully there is really not such a thing...
Oh and I kinda want to change my face But also I thought of being able to love myself the way I am... and I am able to do it... just still want that change cs I feel I need it (at least to correct my strabismus if possible)
Why wait for college? I fixed my speech impediment in middle school. It was tough. Starting high school now and it's 100% gone. Those 2-3 years were tough but I'm better now.
it makes sense. never thought abt it like that. it gives a second chance. thats how i felt when i enterd freshmen yr oh high school. my grades and academics mainly matterd from here.
Same I'll be going to college and I don't want anyone I know previously from before in that college I went to a different school for 11th and 12th and I didn't know anyone and my social anxiety has reduced
bro thats so true, when i was about to step for the first time i realized i forgot my glasses, and im way better looking with out glasses, of course no one noticed
Lol as a daughter of parents who's in arm's forces in India i have to move from every place within 3-4 yr time spam ... I have changed places like 4 -5 🤣🤣so i am really use to this feeling of that nobody knows me.... But i really miss places when i shifts to another State ... I miss my friend , my school , the campus i live in .... But it's also good because it teach me that no one will be forever with you ... U have to change with the time .... Since now i am not afried to go to new places .... And also i have meet variety of ppl and live in different types of society .... Which brings me to understanding that what type of person i want to become ... And that's a beautiful understanding ☺️
Idk if I’ll go to college and have no idea which I’ll go to so I’ll probably just try to get into the one closest to me which many people from my school are for sure interested in.
