Starting Over Becoming a Freshman is a big step-up from elementary school. There are so many challenges to be met. One thing is the changing of classes six times. All the hustle of people rushing through the halls at once also contributes to massive confusion. Comments such as Where is my next class? and Oops! wrong room , are familiar comments heard from confused newcomers. It doesn't take but about a week to get use to the newness of things and fall into the routine of a high school Freshman.
