How to survive FRESHMAN year?

Being nervous is a normal thing. Everyone has the first day jitters. As far as pressure goes you are more than likely going to experience some sort of peer pressure from friends or people in higher grades throughout your highschool days. If you are completely against something don't be afraid to say no. If they are your friends they will get over it. School work isn't that much tougher (wasn't for me anyways). Just enjoy it while it last, time goes by really fast and you will be graduating in no time.
