So besides having an amazing clearance rack they have all of these really cool shirts with beading, pop out fabrics, etc. They're really pretty and you would never believe I only paid 4 for each. I also found a pair of reptile flats for 10 and if you look under the sale section on their website your bound to get some steals!

Heyy!
So Basically I am writing this because I spend a lot of time on Yahoo! Answers and I notice that most of the questions on there are in regards to starting high school or going into high school and tips. Therefore I have decided that I will compose all my tips, advice etc. on here. So here you go, I will be adding more as I come upon different questions. I AM A MEMBER IN THE CLASS OF 2013
~ Make sure you know your states' graduation requirement prior to picking your classes this way you always know what you HAVE to take and you won't be surprised when you are taking make up classes your senior year.
~
~ DO NOT BUY A TON OF SCHOOL SUPPLIES PRIOR TO THE SCHOOL YEAR! Typically teachers are not picky as to what they want you to use they figure that you should be old enough to know what works for you. However some teacher absolutely do require binders or notebooks.So I suggest on the first day bringing only A NOTEBOOK, A FOLDER, PENS AND PENCILS.
~Buy at least 10 packs of pens (black or blue ONLY and 1 pack of red)
~ If spiral notebooks are 10 cents, buy like 30. Even if you don't need the notebook you can use it as looseleaf paper.
~ Things to have at home are: Pens, Pencils, looseleaf, highlighters and post-its as well as a few sharpie markers/ Crayola markers in different colors.
WEBSITES AND STORES I RECOMMEND FOR SCHOOL SUPPLIES: These stores have had sales going on all July and will carry into August and probably September.
Target : http://www.target.com/
Office Depot: http://www.officedepot.com/
Staples: http://www.staples.com/
Walmart: http://www.walmart.com/

A good alternative to the traditional binder is the "Mead Flex Notebinder" It is a mix between a notebook and a binder. Mead products in general are a great investment they're very long lasting and durable I would recommend a notebinder to anyone.

Here are some general tips and advice for incoming freshmen, I will continue to add as I think of more.
Well some things you need to remember/know are:
1. When you actually start school don't freak out! Just go in with a positive atttitude, look at signs, have your map and your schedule. If you need help ask an adult, typically upperclassmen don't bother you but they may enjoy steering you in the wrong direction. Don't bring or buy anything other than a notebook, a folder, pens and pencils. Your teachers will give you a syllabus which outlines what you learn in the course, as well as what supplies you're going to need which usually consists of a binder or notebook and a folder, but you need to learn what works for you.
2. Be friendly, a good personality is the biggest thing in making friends. You want to say hi to the person that sits next to you which is likely to be different in each class. Make sure you create no enemies becausethese are the people you're going to deal with for the whole entire year. You want to stay way from drama because it can make a fun and exciting year terrible. Treat others the way you want to be treated and don't do things you KNOW aren't right, for example dont be pressured into drinking, or bullying or sex or drugs. The key rule to live by is "don't do anything you'd be ashamed to tell your mother about." Stay true to yourself always.
3. School is important and so is freshmen year so join clubs, and maintain good grades. However do not let school and academics take over your life. It's important that as a teenager you have a social life and you get out and have fun that is not academically related. Clubs and sports look good to colleges but only take what you can handle it's also a great way to meet new people.
