Editor’s Note: Freshmen were asked about their experiences so far this year. These quick-hitters were summarized to give a holistic, overall view of some of the most talked about aspects of this transition into high school.
On the work-life balance:
“It’s more fun, more stressful, and definitely has more work." - Eleanor Finberg
"It's stopping me from procrastinating, but gives me less sleep." - Sophia Lorenzetti
On adjusting to the new building:
“It’s stopping me from procrastinating, but gives me less sleep. Also, it’s a bit overwhelming because there’s so many people and the school’s big, which makes it’s a little of disorienting.” - Sophia Lorenzetti
On freshmen orientation:
"For all four of us (the writers and those quoted), high school orientation wasn’t very helpful. The group building activities were fun, yes, but only the more outgoing and social people ended up making new friends. Otherwise, we didn’t really get to know people better." - Eleanor Finberg, Sophia Lorenzetti, Laurel Moore, and Olivia Bullock
