What are some bad first day of school stories?

I remember my worst first day at a new school. I had prepared my textbooks and everything but when I opened my backpack in the first class, I realized I had grabbed my sister's bag by mistake. So, I had all her girly stuff like makeup and dolls in my bag instead of my own things. The whole class laughed when I tried to explain. It was a nightmare and I still cringe when I think about it.

One way to cope is to just laugh it off. Realize that everyone has embarrassing moments and it's not the end of the world. For instance, if you trip and fall in front of everyone, just get up, smile and keep going.

One of the best first day of school stories I've heard was when a shy kid made a best friend immediately. He was so nervous, but this other kid came up and shared his lunch. They were inseparable after that.

One of my first day of school stories was when I got lost on my way to my new classroom. I was so nervous that I didn't pay attention to the signs. But a kind teacher helped me find my way. It was really embarrassing at first, but it also made me realize that asking for help is okay.

One common one is getting lost on the way to work. It makes you late and flustered. Another is making a mistake with a task like I did when I misfiled important documents on my first day at an administrative job.

One story could be about a new student who was really nervous on the first day. He got lost trying to find his classes but ended up making friends with a group of students who were also lost. They all found their way together and became good friends for the rest of the school year.

There was a teacher who started at a school in a rural area on his first day. He brought in some unique teaching materials related to the local environment like samples of local plants. The students were so excited to see something relevant to their own lives in the classroom. It made the first day really special as they all bonded over learning about the nature around them.

The first day of middle school was full of surprises. We had a locker for the first time. I had trouble opening it and it took me a while to figure out the combination. And there were so many new rules to learn. But overall, it was an exciting day.

Another funny story is about name mix - ups. There was a teacher who called out the wrong name for a student all day long. The student was too shy to correct her at first. By the end of the day, everyone was calling him by this wrong name and it became a big joke. And then there are those who trip while walking into the classroom on the first day. It's so embarrassing but also very funny to watch.

One common story is being nervous about meeting new people. Most kids are shy at first and it takes time to warm up to their classmates. Another is getting excited about all the new school supplies like crayons and notebooks. Also, some kids might be a bit scared of the teacher at first, but then realize they're really nice.
