About dress codes... I actually got dress coded for one outfit that I really didn't think would get dress coded. I will make a video on what I wear to school for a week and talk more about the dress codes we have cause it's actually a really interesting subject. Anyways, hope you liked this back to school haul!
here is some honest advice about highschool: 1. when it comes to backpacks. it’s much better to get them from a brand store IF you can. if the backpack fits and is comfortable. then it will last for the next school year or so on. after a while , teachers start giving u more and more stuff to put in ur bag and it can cause pain on your back pack. so get one that has many pockets on the inside and out , get one that has a area on the sides for a water bottle. and that should be good. 2. as far as school supplies goes , you can always look online on ur school website or county thing and search school supplies needed for ur grade or school. but most highschools require at least 7 folders , 4-5 1-3” binders. pens , pencils , highlighters , and more. 3. the work gets harder as the year goes on. and teachers want your papers to be neat. and presentable incase they wanna check stuff. so never leave ur stuff at home or forget any papers. bring everything with u and back unless a teacher says otherwise. 4. algebra isn’t too hard once u get the hang of it. but if u want additional help go to khan academy !! they are professional free experts who deal with all classes and explains EVERYTHING for free. please visit that website if u need it.
A tip: most/ALL high schools enforce dress codes & try to make them seem important but teachers and most admin doesn’t actually act on it or care what you wear as long as you’re not naked.
At my school, most of the teachers actually enforce it. Like they will literally look at our clothes as soon as we walk in the building and send us to the office if we don’t follow the dress code. 🙄
Hey Sofia loved the video!! Tip: say “at” instead of “on” when ur saying which store you got the clothing from :) for example, “At hollister, I got this blue crewneck.” Hope this helped❤️❤️
you're not going to a party or a beach ... going to school with a mini dress shorts and tank tops is just wrong you won't be able to wear whatever you want for work either you have a dresscode everywhere
Merve Ee sorry what are you on? That’s hardly beach and party style, more normal go-to-clothing nowadays. Not even the need to mention that it’s always the girls who get dress coded. Blatant sexism. That’s why school uniforms or no dress code would be better. At least an overhauled dress code is necessary imo.
Merve Ee i could ask you the exact same question: why do you care? I went to a private school where we had a dress code and the uselessness was obvious.
it's more of a shock here in az because it's 115 outside, then you go inside with heavy duty ac blowing on you, it's literally a 40 degree difference, so it gets super cold feeling for that reason.
You’re so lucky to be able to go to Target everyday for a year! It’s my favorite store in America! I’m from the Netherlands, I ordered a VS Pink backpack for €24 (about 240 kronar). They were on sale and I’m so happy with it! I love your channel btw. I plan on studying in Sweden in a couple of years.
loved this!! just wondering where do u get ur money to buy everything, for the whole of this exchange year? is it just from youtube, or from family? or do your family in arizona give some to you? totally understand if you don’t want to answer, i’m just curious lol, and also do you get to go back to sweden during holidays etc? cx
x.olivia .x im curious too because i was an au pair in california for two years but you get paid from your host family because you work for them. but being a student im confused how youre supposed to get money
It’s probably a combination of these factors. She definitely gets some RUclips money but I’m pretty sure her family also send her some kind of allowance.
FiVE XTENDER yeah, because i wanted to do the au pair program again after college because you get a house, food, a car, i had a free gym membership AND you get paid because you work for the family. But i was so sick of the kids by the end of it, vut here idk what the family would get from paying her you know what i mean
If you check her socialblade, you’ll see that she makes up to 6k€ (between 380€ - 6.100€ to be exact) a month from RUclips alone. She probably gets a monthly allowance from her parents, too.... but she’s probably able to pay for the clothes herself.
my schools dress code is only polos and jeans. can’t have a logo on the polo and it has to be a solid color. if we wear tank tops or shorts or a polo that has stripes on it, we aren’t sent home
at my school (i live in Italy but i go to a Canadian school) we have dress code, but even if your break to they really don't care, as long as it's not too excessive or inappropriate.
Loved this video! You are doing great with your English, keep up the good work. Here is a tip: Say T instead of D in the end of some words, like “But”, try to really pronounce the T. Can’t wait to see the next vid girly!💓💓💓
Hey Sofia! If you want to wear some of those tank tops they’d look super cute with high waisted shorts or jeans with a cardigan or a jean jacket and those clothes that I can’t wear to school you’ll be able too!
My cousin is a exchange student advisor (she finds placement) from what she's said they have their own money they bring for cost. Host parents just cover housing and food and basic needs
All that is too much money. Just go to Myer, Khols, or Target.....alot cheaper. Hope schools going well! We're hoping to get an exchange student next year
If you are shopping for like shorts and skirts, try to find some that are at the length of your fingertips because that’s how most schools like the shorts and skirts to be at
Where did you get all the money. Like did you get it from “the exchange organization” or from your parents or host family or it’s from Sweden? Cuz it looks like u bought so many things and like i don’t have so much money as u hahaha
I love your videos! You seem like a lovely person. I feel bad for you because you have to get clothes that fit the dress code, that's the one thing I like about having a formal uniform
Can you film a video discussing how it's been to live in someone else's home? Do you feel at home already or do you feel awkward? I'm an adult now at 25 but just thinking about how I was your age that would be terrifying for me. Lol. I ended up moving in with my good friends family in high school and sometimes I would feel so awkward even though I knew them for years.
What happens if an outfit gets dress coded? I know that dress codes are normal at American High School, but I have never been in a school, where teachers would care wath students wear.
All high schools in my country wear uniforms (some only up to the last 1-2 years of highschool) 😆 my highschool/boarding school which is girls only heaps of girls get done for their skirts too short or the wrong footwear
Arizona is not cold lmao I lived there for a few years and I’ve lived in Montana ever since and it’s colder here lmao except he summers are nice 😂😂 I wish we had more good stores here tho 😭😭
Literally barely any of that clothes was allowed with the dress code lol, but to be completely honest, the tops all you have to do is put a sweater/ jacket/ cardigan over and they’ll let you by. Most teachers won’t really care regardless but yeah.
in my country, there are no "dress codes" as such it is more a "uniform code" but like no one really cares too much about it that much. Like last week i wore non regulation shoes and no one gave an F

yoyoyo
Your tank tops are so cute just get more basic cardigans, like black or white, and you should be good to go!
are you from Sweden??

If you need anymore clothes definitely go thrifting !
crackhead hours thrifting is so fun!

Angie Fortuno good thing my school doesn’t have dress codes lol
Angie Fortuno our school does not have dress code you can wear what ever you want
At my school, most of the teachers actually enforce it. Like they will literally look at our clothes as soon as we walk in the building and send us to the office if we don’t follow the dress code. 🙄
My school has no dress code lol
Yea my school is honestly too lazy to enforce a dress code, although the student handbook has one
okay but the snapping transitions in the Tilly's changing room was my fav thing lmao
Hey Sofia loved the video!! Tip: say “at” instead of “on” when ur saying which store you got the clothing from :) for example, “At hollister, I got this blue crewneck.” Hope this helped❤️❤️
Mia Valero I was literally about to comment that lol
Bognar Evelin same lol
its bc in swedish they say “på” (on) basically every time that at would be used
Yes! But you can use "on" for online sites like Amazon :)
ok yesss exactly
The store you didn’t know the name of is called Free People
They have such cute clothing but I cant afford any of it on a college budget
:(
"that shopping was good, just not for my wallet"
haha i love Sophia so much
I know you haven’t been in the us for long but your English has really improved
In my German High School we don't have a dress code
@@lens9201 Am schlimmsten sind die 7-8. Klässler 😂
@@leon-is-lost3420 gee dankee😂😂😂
Wir auch haben keine "dress code" in Griechenland.
Same here
Wir könnten bei mir an der Schule in bh und Shorts kommen und man würde nur gefragt ob einem kalt ist😂
i think you are so brave, its not easy to moving to another country for a year.
I have been watching u Sofia for a while and I love you videos hope you will have fun in your school as an exchange student
That dress code system is mad stupid. You might as well just introduce school uniforms then 🙄
true! and like schoulders dont mean anything
you're not going to a party or a beach ... going to school with a mini dress shorts and tank tops is just wrong you won't be able to wear whatever you want for work either you have a dresscode everywhere

@@fivextender8162 school is teaching kids, teens where to wear what. you have to dress appropriate. why is this bothering you so much?
Merve Ee i could ask you the exact same question: why do you care? I went to a private school where we had a dress code and the uselessness was obvious.
“Arizona is cold inside” babe come to Wisconsin
Destiny Seefeldt i third that
it's more of a shock here in az because it's 115 outside, then you go inside with heavy duty ac blowing on you, it's literally a 40 degree difference, so it gets super cold feeling for that reason.
ps i grew up in wisconsin :)

A pink backpack and just 24€? I thought they were more expensive lmaoooo. Greetings from Greece
Sταmατία they definitely are expensive but I got it while the cyber Monday sale was going on.
@@oliviakate4652 ohhhh
Hey ik ben ook nederlands!
Raphaela Gelbach 🙋🏼♀️
Dress codes suck lol, there’s nothing wrong with that top you were wearing
Dark green looks so good on you btw :)
“arizona is cold...inside” LMAO
diana perez TRUE i live in az and my math classroom thermostat is set to 60 degrees
sofia! if you buy some cute long cardigans you can wear all of your fav shirts!

aupairdiaries do you have to pay to like sign up for the program?

I never thought I'd hear someone say Arizona is cold. Tucson has me dying of heat lmao
She said inside. Like inside the school building. IDK why they do keep schools so cold but I don't mind.
If you need more clothes for school you can try the online shop romwe it's really cheap and they have really nice and trendy stuff hope this helped 💕
hi ik its a dumb question lol but did you pay the stuff u got w your own money that u brought or did the host family pay it for u? 💖
Tell me when you know
She always buys stuff with her own money
Greyson Bishop okay thx
I assume she would pay for it herself. She seems to be making good money so I doubt she’d use her host moms money
The host family provides the bed, food, and transportation. Her family provides her money for shopping and other stuff like that.
I love this usa vlogs, i’m from finland and it’s cool that you are from so close, Sweden and now you are on the other side of the world
Aaahhhh you made the cheer team☺️☺️☺️☺️💕‼️‼️‼️ congratulations 😁 my turn now 😂 hopefully I do make it (I’m not in school yet I go in sept 5th)
Liskeysi C. She did ?!? Yayyyyy ☺️❤️
how do u have so much spending money? how much money did u bring? i'm curious about the financial aspect of being a foreign exchange student
Kayla Ehrlich but it's really different for her cuz she does yt so definitely has not a regular budget
replying in case you get an answer lol im also curious
I have a question did you buy yourself the things you got on the video or is your host mom who paid for?
Is there a specific exchange program you’re doing? I’m looking into the same thing ❤️
I think she’s doing the EF high school Exchange program!
Start to get used to for lockdown/active shooter drills at school
I realize that school uniforms are better haha. I realized I'm blessed now even if we are on a public school. Hi! New subscriber from the philippines
Love that white lace tank top!!
Oprah N it’s so cute !!
Must be nice being skinny and looking good in anything 😭😂
I love the way you say 'that' more like 'dat'😄😄
my schools dress code is only polos and jeans. can’t have a logo on the polo and it has to be a solid color. if we wear tank tops or shorts or a polo that has stripes on it, we aren’t sent home
Simply Sofias Walmart is literally the Apple store.
at my school (i live in Italy but i go to a Canadian school) we have dress code, but even if your break to they really don't care, as long as it's not too excessive or inappropriate.
Just a tip I think with those thin straps shirts you can wear the cardigan with it, and you may not get dress code.
You're an amazing vlogger Sofia I really love your videos😘 and your editing style so lit! 🔥
Loved this video! You are doing great with your English, keep up the good work. Here is a tip: Say T instead of D in the end of some words, like “But”, try to really pronounce the T. Can’t wait to see the next vid girly!💓💓💓
Julia Forssell i feel like most American English speakers could learn from this as well lol
I LOVE tillllllyyyyysssss
Hey Sofia! If you want to wear some of those tank tops they’d look super cute with high waisted shorts or jeans with a cardigan or a jean jacket and those clothes that I can’t wear to school you’ll be able too!
Hy Sofia hope you answer me

hi/ hej !! could u do like a “talk swedish for 24 hours” challenge? with either your friends that are american, or maybe like your host parents? lol 😂
YOU SHOULD GO TO DUTCH BROSS IS SOO GOOD!!!!

What store did you buy all those cute crop tops at?😍
PLEASE DO MERCH!!! by the way i love your channel and you😊😊😊
Lydia Kampanellis yes merch!!
You are saying you got this “on” h&m, wich is not proper grammar. You can use “from” or “in”
