But it was not always that way. After an entire school year of zoom calls and loads of seemingly endless virtual activities, the majority of us find ourselves back in the building. But for the sophomores, the transition to the Alexandria City High School campus seemed more nerve-racking than ever.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When stepping on the A.C. campus for the first time as a student there, sophomore Ryan Canady found herself nervous, and like many other sophomores, very lost. \u201cI kept checking my map,\u201d she says as she depicts her first encounter with the maze of hallways and staircases. She described the first day as \u201cbusy\u201d and \u201ccrowded\u201d. Upon being asked if she had ever been lost, she bluntly said, \u201cyes, and I still do [get lost].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But not everything about the first week was a strain of perplexity. When it came to the first week of school, the social aspect was the best part for a lot of sophomores. \u201cSeeing new friends for sure,\u201d said Aidan Hill, another sophomore. \u201cIce breakers make everyone want to die,\u201d jokes Canady, \u201cBut I\u2019m glad to sit with my friends at lunch again.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s no surprise that transitioning from a year at home to the main campus at A.C. is a major adjustment. But some students did not find the change as daunting. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t too rough,\u201d Canady says. \u201cWaking up at different times wasn\u2019t too bad. It only really took me two days to transition.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sophomore Hannah Kidd enjoyed seeing people. \u201cI forgot how stressful being in school can be. But I like red and blue days because it gives me an extra day to do homework,&#8221; she says.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though the first weeks of school for the sophomores have been a stir of nerves and confusion, Canady, Hill, and Kidd are all excited for the year ahead of them. The transition has not been the easiest, but as sophomores get into the flow of the new school year, they are finding more and more to look forward to. \u201cI feel nervous but weirdly happy,\u201d Aidan said. The last year has been anything but ordinary and this year may not feel ideal, but it\u2019s nonetheless exciting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With nearly four weeks of school complete, students are beginning to get into a comfortable rhythm of balancing classes and everyday school hassle.
