Hi dolls! Beatrix here. 

With school approaching for some of us, I wanted to start a little blog segment that deals with everything you could need to know about school, such as stress & anxiety, making friends, school clothes, and healthy eating. 

This week, I wanted to talk about making friends!

The Basics

1. Be yourself!  You're not going to get friends who are genuine if you're not.

2. Join school clubs and teams. A good way to meet people with the same interests as you is to join an activity that interests you. 

3. Don't wait for people to approach you. Instead, approach them! Start a conversation, who knows, maybe you'll find your new best friend!

4. Smile! Smiling is hard, especially when you're feeling down, but it can make you look friendly!

5. Eat lunch with groups of people. Eating lunch at school with different groups is an easy and effective way to make friends. 

My Experience

I met two of my real life best friend completely by accident!

One time in class, I was talking to my other friend about a band I really liked, and she overheard and joined in. She is now my best friend and we're going to a concert together soon!

I hope you found this article helpful, love you dolls and have a relatively happy first day of school!
