Beauty School Crisis

Next Tuesday I start beauty school. Today I went down there and took a tour of the place. While I was there, I noticed a few of the girls there were giving me dirty looks. What I want to know is what can I do to fit in? What's a good way to make a good impression? I'm a bit shy when meeting someone new.

Why would you want to "fit in" with girls who are giving you shitty looks? I'm sure there are tons of nice girls there who will warm up to you-- and anyone who is judging you without ever having met you is someone that you dont want to be around anyway.
With that said, I know starting a new class (school, club, job etc) can be scary and intimidating. I feel like the best way to give a good first impression is to just be yourself 100%. If you try to tone yourself down or be someone who you're not, its going to come across (and even if it doesnt, people will like you for something that you're not) I've found, as cheesy as this is, the best way to get people to warm up to you in work situations especially is to bring food to share or something. My first week at my new job I brought a HUGE batch of macaroons for the entire (200+!) company to share. People found out who I was when they asked who has brought the cookies. Plus people asked me for recipes and stuff, and I've even had some of the girls over to bake at my house since then smile This might work well since you're going to be seeing these girls allllll the time.

Hope that helps kiss

Girls can be bitches. They sound mean.
I can't tell you how to make a good impression, and if they are mean bitches, they already don't like you. But thats a good thing, because you're clearly better than they are and they're very jealous.

You should always be yourself when you meet you people. Or whats the point because new people will be meeting someone else that doesn't actually really exist. or does, sometimes. And frankly, it would be very exhausting.

You can't make people like you, and sometimes thats for the best. I know people don't like me, and I don't care. Their lost!

In terms of actualy solid adivce rather than a pep talk I'm out. but try not to kill anyone and don't stela their dinner money and you'll be fine smile

Just be yourself. If these girls act like bitches, fuck them. Do you really want to alter who you are in order to be liked? I sure hope not.
