Anxious about going back to school? Here’s how to channel confidence on your first day back! 

Are you worried about going back to face-to-face classes this year after two whole years of online learning? We feel you! It could be daunting to walk the school hallways and feel like everyone’s staring at you.

“They look different!” “What happened to them? They used to be so talkative!” “They are soo awkward, noh?” These offhand comments are only some of the scariest parts of being out in the great big scary world of F2F classes. And going to school with these apprehensions can affect your confidence, plus impair your ability to perform well in your classes. So we want to help you build your F2F confidence back! Here are 3 expert tips on how to boost that much-needed confidence! Read on.

Reconnect with friends and classmates before classes start.

Hit up your old gang and start reconnecting with them. Drop them a message, like their artsy TikToks, or schedule a café hang and talk about your F2F gameplan! You can start with a trip down memory lane by mentioning a specific moment at school that you guys shared. They’ll surely appreciate it and, when D-day arrives, you’ll surely have a group of friends who will turn your first-day jitters into pure back-to-school fun!

Adopt an optimistic attitude.

No matter the situation, remember that it will only be made worse by how you react or perceive it. So, adopt an optimistic attitude even weeks before F2F classes. Though you’re anxious about being around people after a difficult two years of lockdown and indoor/online learning, this new season of back-to-school only means that the world is getting better and your community is recovering from a worldwide pandemic. Isn’t that something to be grateful for and hopeful about? Plus, having positive vibes radiates! Your classmates will feel your sunny attitude, and you’ll attract similar people who can vibe with you. Instant connection!

Lastly, walking with confidence includes standing up tall for yourself and your values. Don’t let negativity stand in your way, and never feel sorry for being exactly who you are. Someone tells you you’ve changed? Well, as you should! After two years of being in your own bubble and working on your inner self, it’s time to own your personal growth!

Stand tall (literally!)

And speaking of growth, standing tall in the literal sense can also boost your back-to-school confidence. Height matters in embodying a new you!
