What NOT To Do Your First Semester of High School with Addie Dwyer

In this episode of Claire in a Chair, I’m sitting down with my friend Addie Dwyer to talk about something we both had to learn the hard way: what NOT to do during your first semester of high school. From overbooking yourself to joining 90,000 clubs just because everyone else is, we get real about burnout, balance, and why “doing everything” does not equal success. I share my own chaos moments, Addie shares hers, and together we break down how to actually enjoy freshman year without losing your mind. Perfect for anyone who’s starting high school—or just trying to breathe a little easier.
