Staying Calm in the Schoolrooms

**Staying calm in the Schoolrooms is absolutely crucial for your well-being and safety. The Schoolrooms is a mysterious and unsettling place, and panic and fear can lead to poor- decision making and heightened danger. Reasons why staying calm is important are enhanced decision making, conserving your energy, reducing your attraction to entities, and your mental resilience. Our tips for staying calm are breathing, reminding yourself of reality, staying with your group, accepting uncertainty, setting goals, positive self-pep talks, creating routines, taking breaks, seeking support, and visualizing success.**

**1. STAY CALM.** Keep your composure and stay focused. Panicking will only prove to cloud your judgment and hinder your ability to make sound decisions. If you feel overwhelmed or anxious, take deep breaths to center yourself. Inhale slowly through your nose, hold for a few seconds, and then exhale slowly through your mouth. Repeat this as needed to calm your nerves.

Light sources in the Schoolrooms
**Keeping a light source in the Schoolrooms is one of the most important aspects of survival. The Schoolrooms is known for its vast, dimly lit spaces and dark corridors, and without the proper illumination, you could easily become disoriented, vulnerable, and at risk of encountering dangerous entities. Keep it handy and use it wisely. Examples of some light sources are flashlights and lanterns, glowsticks and chemlights, candles and torches, bioluminescent entities, portable electric lights, luminous fungi and plants, reflective surfaces, and natural light sources.**

**2. Keep a Light Source on Your Person AT ALL TIMES.** Carry a flashlight or use the flashlight feature on a cellphone to illuminate dark areas. Some levels of the Schoolrooms are very poorly lit. Some light sources that wanderers carry are flashlights, glow sticks, battery-powered lanterns, hand-cranked lights, mobile phone flashlights, battery-powered LED lamps, solar-powered lights (when available), and emergency power generators.

Traveling in Pairs in the Schoolrooms
**Traveling in Pairs in the Schoolrooms can be a wise strategy to increase your chances of survival and navigate the unsettling and very dangerous environment more effectively. Traveling in pairs is important for having enhanced awareness, shared knowledge and skills, safety in numbers, emotional support, teamwork, improved decision-making, and aiding in navigation. Some tips we have for traveling in pairs are communicating regularly, establishing a buddy system, agreeing on emergency signals, staying close but not clingy, trusting your partner, taking breaks together, and sharing resources.**

**3. Travel in Pairs** (when possible). If you can, explore the Schoolrooms with a friend or partner. Having someone with you to watch your back and share ideas can greatly increase your chances of survival. Traveling in pairs whenever you can does more than you might think. It provides enhanced safety in unfamiliar and dangerous environments. It gives you access to quick assistance if you encounter any issues. It can reduce your anxiety and help establish trust. It can also encourage you and other wanderers to be mindful and responsible for others and help build friendships.

Planning your Route in the Schoolrooms
**In the Schoolrooms, a vast and ever-shifting network of interconnected, seemingly endless rooms and corridors, planning your route is crucial for not only survival, but exploration as well. Some important steps for planning your route would be defining your objective, map exploration, identifying Safe Zones, avoiding known hazards, leaving markers, traveling in logical directions, traveling in pairs or groups, being flexible, observation and learning, avoiding backtracking, and prioritizing safety.**

**4. Plan Your Route.** Before moving forward through any level, assess the situation and plan your route carefully. Consider all potential risks and challenges to make informed decisions. Doing this will help you reach your destination in the shortest possible time and reduces the chances of various dangers.

Creating Markers in the Schoolrooms
**Creating markers in the Schoolrooms is a very good survival strategy to help you navigate this confusing labyrinthine realm. Markers can serve multiple purposes, from guiding you back to safety to communicating with other wanderers. Some ideas on how to create markers are chalk or paint markings, colored ribbons or tags, piles of stones or debris, glowsticks or chemlights, symbols carved into walls, directional signage, stacked furniture or objects, photographs or drawings, written notes or messages, and memorizing distinctive details.**

**5. Create Markers.** Leave markers or some other kind of "breadcrumb" to mark your path and the ones you've already explored. This will help prevent you from getting lost and ensure you can retrace your steps. This will make navigation and wayfinding in the Schoolrooms clear in large areas. This also plays a crucial role in ensuring safety in the form of emergency exits and evacuation protocols. It will also make you and your team much more organized and orderly.

Trusting your Instincts in the Schoolrooms
**Trusting your instincts in the Schoolrooms is one of the most import parts of survival. The Schoolrooms are an eerie and unpredictable place that's filled with vast, monotonous corridors and hostile entities. trusting your instinct is important for heightened awareness, early warning signs, decision-making aid, survival instincts, intuition about entities, adaptability, confidence boosts, relying on your experience, emotional guidance, complementing rational thinking, improvisation, and reflecting on your feelings.**

**6. Trust Your Instincts.** If something feels unsafe or off, trust your gut and avoid making any unnecessary risks. Trusting your own instinct is invaluable, as it allows you to tap into your intuition and make a decision based on gut feelings or inner knowledge. However, it is crucial to maintain critical thinking and evidence-based reasoning. Your instincts will help guide you into understanding concepts, solving problems, and making decisions whenever you feel uncertain about something or are faced with a new situation.

Communicating Effectively in the Schoolrooms
**Communicating Effectively in the Schoolrooms can be challenging due to it's maze-like nature and potential hazards. However, it is essential for survival, cooperation with others, and increases your chances of finding a safe place. Some strategies to communicate effectively are using clear and concise language, establishing signals and codes, maintaining active listening, keeping each other informed, agreeing on roles and responsibilities, planning and reviewing strategies, utilizing non-verbal communication, staying calm and composed, supporting and encouraging each other, agreeing on meeting points, sharing resources and information, and adapting communication to the environment.**

**7. Communicate Effectively.** If you're in a group, maintain clear and concise communication. Use simple hand gestures and signals or phrases to relay valuable information quickly and quietly. Engage in active listening and pay attention to what others are saying. Make eye contact, nod, and ask clarifying questions to make sure you understand. Always be respectful and don't interrupt others, especially when talking over something vital for survival.

Trusting your Team in the Schoolrooms
**Trusting your team in the Schoolrooms is of utmost importance for your survival and well-being. The Schoolrooms can be a perilous and disorienting place, and having a reliable group can significantly increase your chances of survival. Trusting your team can benefit you in mutual support, enhanced safety, better communication, more efficient decision-making, improved resource management, division of responsibilities, emotional resilience, cohesive decision-making, adaptability, and unified focus.**

**8. Trust Your Team.** If you're a part of a group, establish trust among members. Cooperation and unity are absolutely vital for overcoming challenges together. Maintain mutual support by trusting your team members and having confidence in their abilities while believing that they will contribute their best efforts.

Have a division of tasks within your team. Trust enables a fair and efficient division of tasks. Each team member can take on responsibilities that align with their strengths and know that others will do the same. Resolve conflicts and lay down the groundwork for handling conflicts constructively.

If a conflict arises, team members should be able to address them openly and work towards solutions without fear of judgment or hostility. Lastly, trust fosters synergy within your team where the combined efforts of the team lead to outcomes that surpass individual contributions. A cohesive and trusting team can achieve more together than they can separately.

Collaborating with Others in the Schoolrooms
**Collaborating with other wanderers in the Schoolrooms is not only beneficial but often necessary for survival and successfully navigating this perplexing and hazardous realm. It's crucial and essential for having strength in numbers, diverse skill sets, complimentary abilities, enhanced problem-solving, increased resource-pooling, emotional support, shared responsibility, adaptability and flexibility, division of labor, shared goals, safety and a lookout system, and celebrating achievements.**

**9. Collaborate with Others.** If you encounter fellow wanderers, consider joining forces to share resources and knowledge. Strength in numbers can be quite a significant advantage. Some importance's of collaboration are having a diverse perspective.

Collaboration allows you and your team to work with individuals from different backgrounds and with varied experiences. This exposure can enrich your understanding of topics and foster creativity. You have the opportunity to learn from your peers.

Explaining concepts to others and discussing ideas can deepen your comprehension. Collaboration also improves social skills, such as communication, active listening, empathy, and conflict resolution. These skills are invaluable not only in the Schoolrooms, but also in personal life.

Pacing yourself in the Schoolrooms
**Pacing yourself in the Schoolrooms is essential for maintaining your physical and mental well-being, as well as improving your chances of surviving. Since the Schoolrooms is a realm without a clear sense of time or direction, it is very easy to become disoriented or exhausted. Here are some examples of pacing yourself in the Schoolrooms: Preserving energy, avoiding overexertion, remaining alert, making better decisions, enjoying the journey, adapting to challenges, taking breaks, monitoring resources, being mindful of your emotions, establishing routines, prioritizing safety, and knowing when to rest.**

**10. Pace Yourself.** Don't rush through the level. Take your time to observe and plan each move carefully. Doing this will do a lot of things for you. This prevents burnout, which can occur when you push yourself too hard without breaks or rest.

Avoiding this helps you sustain focus and motivation throughout your explorations. It optimizes learning when you give yourself enough time to comprehend and absorb information thoroughly. It also reduces stress by managing your workload and time effectively and encourages consistency which is essential for long-term success. Pacing yourself ensures that you consistently engage with new information, which leads to steady progress and knowledge.

Listening Carefully in the Schoolrooms
**In the Schoolrooms, listening carefully takes on a pivotal role for survival. Honing your listening skills becomes essential for a number of reasons. In fact, your ability to listen could very well become your lifeline. Listening carefully can allow you to identify distant sounds, recognize unusual noises, locate water sources, avoid hostile entities, understand room shifts, and communicate with others.**

**11. Listen Carefully.** Pay close attention to sounds of footsteps, scratching, and whispers. These could be other wanderers or dangerous entities that you'll need to prepare yourself for or could also reveal clues or warnings about what lies ahead. Listening closely in unfamiliar environments could save you and your team's lives.

Having complete awareness of your surroundings at all times allows you to become aware of potential dangers and changes in the environment. It helps you identify hazards like obstacles, uneven terrain, or other risks that might not be immediately visible. It allows you to act quickly during an emergency situation.

In unfamiliar environments, unexpected emergencies could arise at any moment. Listening carefully can alert you and your team to any warning signals or directions for evacuation procedures. It helps you navigate your environment when your team listens for directions or follows instructions from a reliable source and assists you in finding your way while staying on the correct path. Listening carefully is also a very important aspect of communicating with others in unfamiliar settings and ensures that everyone is on the same page.

Conserving Resources in the Schoolrooms
**Conserving resources can help you survive in the Schoolrooms by allowing you to stay alive longer and avoid madness. Conserving resources can aid you in water management, food rationing, energy usage, resting wisely, navigating efficiently, collaborating more successfully with others, and resource scavenging.**

**12. Conserve Resources.** Keep track of your supplies, especially food and water. Conserve them at all costs and use them wisely, as you might not find replenishments easily. We'll go over a few key points in conservation. Be mindful of energy usage by turning off your light sources when not in use.

Practice water-saving habits by reusing water (when possible) and collecting rainwater. REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE. Follows the three R's to minimize waste. Reduce consumption by being mindful of your needs, reuse items when possible and recycle materials such as paper, plastic, and glass. Minimize food waste by planning meals if you can and avoid food waste. Finding a nice place to use compost food scraps in soil for a garden would also be better than discarding them.

Watching out for Traps in the Schoolrooms
**Watching for traps is extremely important to ensure survival and avoid dangerous encounters. The Schoolrooms are known for their unpredictable nature. Some key points to consider when looking for traps are watching for tripwires and snares, hidden pits and holes, pressure plates, environmental hazards, sound and visual clues, and having a collaborative approach. Always experiment with caution if you suspect something may be a trap.**

**13. Watch out for Traps.** Stay alert for any booby traps or hazards scattered throughout Schoolroom's levels and always proceed with caution. Be cautious of changes in the environment. Any sudden alterations to the room or area's appearance could indicate the presence of a trap.

Listen for unusual sounds like creaking, scraping, or distant footsteps. Stay observant of markings and symbols. Some wanderers leave behind markings to indicate a potential hazard or safe route. Learn to recognize these symbols and follow them when possible. Travel with others. There is safety in numbers.

Exploring the Schoolrooms alone is dangerous. Avoid suspicious objects and areas. If something seems out of place or too tempting, it might be a trap. Exercise extreme caution and avoid touching or interacting with any unfamiliar objects. Test the ground as well. If uncertain about the stability of the floor or other surface, use light objects or tools to check for traps before proceeding.

Resting Strategically in the Schoolrooms
**Resting Strategically in the Schoolrooms is essential for maintaining your well-being. Finding a safe place to rest can be challenging due to the nature of the Schoolrooms and the dangers that lurk around every corner. Remember that even strategic resting carries risk in the Schoolrooms. The most important things to do are securing your location, be considerate of your usage of light, rest in groups, switch shifts and watches, minimize your visibility, take short naps, stay close to resources, stay alert, and memorize safe spots.**

**14. Rest Strategically.** This is very important and we have a lot of great tips, so let's go over them. Take breaks and rest when needed, but avoid sleeping for too long. Keep an eye on your surroundings while you rest. Choose safe locations. Before settling down to rest, carefully evaluate your surroundings.

Look for a secluded spot away from potential threats or traps. Ideally, find a room that has only one entrance, making it much easier for you to keep watch. Barricade or block entrances. If possible, secure entry points to the room you've chosen to rest in. Use objects or debris to block the door, creating a makeshift barricade that can give you an early warning if something tries to enter.

Stay as quiet as you can. While resting, minimize noise and movement as much as possible. Loud noises can attract unwanted attention from hostile entities or creatures lurking nearby. Share the watch. If you're traveling with a group, take turns keeping watch while others rest. This rotation allows everyone to recuperate while maintaining security.

You also want to maintain a light source. Keep a dim light source on during your rest. This can help deter certain entities and provide visibility if you need to suddenly wake up and move. Stay armed and ready at all times. Keep your weapons or tools within reach while resting, so you can quickly respond to any threats that may arise. Stay mindful of time.

Be conscious of how long you rest for. Oversleeping or becoming too complacent could leave you extremely vulnerable to danger. Use personal alarm systems. If available, consider setting up a small, simple alarm system or noise-making device around your resting area. This can alert you to potential intruders.

Finally, remain alert and always trust your instincts. Even during rest, remain vigilant. Trust your instincts, and if something feels off, be prepared to move to a safer location. Always remember that resting in the Schoolrooms requires a delicate balance of recharging and staying alert.

Knowing your Enemies in the Schoolrooms
**The Schoolrooms are filled with a wide variety of threats, ranging from hostile entities and aggressive creatures to hazardous environments. Some aspects to consider when getting to know your enemies are identifying anomalies and entities, studying behavior and patterns, identifying weaknesses, distinguishing friends from foes, gathering information, staying informed about local legends, adapting to different environments, being prepared to defend yourself, staying stealthy, and trusting your instincts.**

**15. Know Your Enemies.** Study the behaviors and patterns of hostile entities in the Schoolrooms. understanding their movements could help you avoid encounters or find an opportunity to outsmart them. There are a few key actions you can take to make your life way safer as you explore.

Firstly, observation and research. Take the time to observe entities you encounter. Note their appearance, behavior, and any distinct traits they may have. This information could be vital in identifying them in the future. Gather as much information from others as you can. If you meet other wanderers in the Schoolrooms, exchange information about the entities you've encountered.

Learning from the experiences of others can provide valuable insights. Categorize and classify as much as possible. Try to categorize the entity based on their threat level and behavior patterns. This classification can help you prioritize which creatures to avoid and which might be less dangerous. You want to understand their motivations.

Some entities in the Schoolrooms may be hostile due to self-preservation, while others could have more complex motives. Understanding what drives them can aid in avoiding deadly conflicts. Identify their weaknesses. Determine any weaknesses that the entities may have.

It could be a vulnerability to light, sounds, or other factors that could give you an advantage in evading or defending against them. Maintain stealth. Some entities might be more sensitive to movement or sound, so practicing stealth and quietness can help you avoid attracting any unwanted attention.

Most importantly, be open to learning. The Schoolrooms are an ever-changing and mysterious place. Keep yourself open to learning new things about its inhabitants, as you might encounter previously unknown entities during your journey. Not all entities you encounter will be aggressive, but assuming that they all pose a threat is a prudent mindset. Stay informed, stay alert, and stay adaptable.

Finding Safe Zones in the Schoolrooms
**Safe Zones are areas where wanderers can find temporary respite and a decreased level of danger. While not entirely free from potential threats, Safe Zones offer a higher degree of security compared to the rest of the Schoolrooms. Your Safe Zones should provide the following: Access to resources, opportunities for rest, chance for interaction with other wanderers, navigational landmarks, short-term safety and limited duration (your Safe Zone could become hazardous due to environmental change or hostile entities), and a map.**

**16. Find Safe Zones** Identify rooms or areas that seem relatively safe and secure. Use these places as shelters or bases where you can regroup and plan your next steps. Always observe your environment.

Safe Zones often have distinct characteristics that set them apart from the rest of the Schoolrooms. Look for signs of stability, such as well-maintained architecture, intact walls, or areas that seem less worn down.

Listen for silence. Pay attention to the sounds around you. Safe Zones are typically quieter compared to other parts of the Schoolrooms. The absence of eerie noises or hostile creatures might indicate a safer area.

Also, follow wanderer markings. Many wanderers leave markings behind to guide themselves or others to Safe Zones or away from danger. Keep an eye out for symbols, arrows, or other signs that could lead you to a secure location. Stay alert. Even in Safe Zones, maintain a degree of vigilance. The Schoolrooms are unpredictable and threats can emerge unexpectedly.

Staying Hidden from Enemies in the Schoolrooms
**Staying hidden from all types of entities is an absolutely crucial survival skill. There are many types of entities and many more that have yet to be documented, making the possibilities endless. The most important things for you to consider are stealth and silence, avoiding line of sight, using shadows and the darkness, blending in with the environment, preventing body odor and keeping your body heat under control, staying behind cover, moving cautiously, utilizing distractions, staying low to the ground, and being patient.**

**17. Stay Hidden from Hostile Entities.** This is vital, so we're going over a lot here. If you encounter a hostile entity, finding a hiding spot and escape route can help you avoid confrontation and save your life. Firstly, move silently. Walk quietly and avoid making unnecessary noise.

Many hostile entities in the Schoolrooms are attracted to sound, so staying silent can help you avoid drawing their attention. Keep yourself in dimly lit areas. Darker rooms might offer more cover and make it harder for entities to spot you. However, be cautious, as some entities may have heightened senses in the dark.

Avoid light sources. Many entities are drawn to light, so keep your light source, such as flashlights, to a minimum. If you need light, use it sparingly and quickly move away from the area. Make sure you listen closely. Pay attention to any usual sounds, as this might indicate the presence of nearby entities. Being aware of your surroundings can help you avoid potential encounters.

Be sure to move strategically. Plan your route carefully, taking note of any patterns or clues that might indicate the presence of hostile entities. Avoid areas that seem particularly dangerous or active. Group up when you can. If possible, travel with others. A group can offer safety in numbers and provide support in dangerous situations. Carry a minimal amount of supplies.

Travel light and only bring essential items. The more you carry, the more noise you may make and the slower you'll be, which increases the chances of encountering hostile entities. Avoid eye contact at all times. Some entities in the Schoolrooms are sensitive to eye contact, so try to avert your gaze if you spot one.

Learn entity behavior. Familiarize yourself with the various entities in the Schoolrooms and their characteristics. Understanding their behavior can help you anticipate potential encounters and plan accordingly. Most importantly, stay calm. Panicking can lead to careless mistakes, which could attract attention. Maintain a calm demeanor and think rationally when faced with challenging situations.

Staying Hydrated in the Schoolrooms
**Staying hydrated is arguably the most crucial aspect of surviving in the Schoolrooms. Humans cannot survive without water and water sources may be scarce or hard to find. Important things to remember when making sure you stay hydrated is water conservation, carrying water containers, looking for water sources, purifying the water, staying calm and conserved (sweating will make you thirstier), resting in shaded areas, limiting physical exertion, traveling during cooler times, group resource management, and prioritizing survival over exploration.**

**18. Stay Hydrated.** Carry water with you at all times. Always have a water bottle or container on hand. Whenever you come across a water source, fill up your container to ensure you have access to water as you continue your journey through the Schoolrooms. Always conserve water.

Since water sources might be scarce, ration your water carefully. Drink small sips at regular intervals rather than gulping it all down at once. Keep an eye out for any signs of moisture or dripping water. Puddles, leaks, or even condensation on walls might indicate a nearby water source.

If you happen to come across any edible plants, some of them might contain water. Be cautious and always do your research before consuming any unknown plants. Avoid contaminated water. While finding water is essential for survival, be cautious about drinking from suspicious or stagnant sources, as they could be contaminated and make you sick.

Whenever possible, try to seek refuge in cooler, shaded rooms. The Schoolrooms environment can be harsh and staying out of direct sunlight can help reduce dehydration risks. Always monitor your hydration. Pay attention to signs of dehydration, such as dry mouth, dizziness, or decreased urine output. If you notice any of these symptoms, it is essential to find water and rehydrate yourself immediately.

Avoiding No-End Rooms in the Schoolrooms
**No-End rooms are particularly dangerous areas where escape seems, or is, impossible. They could lead to infinite loops of the same rooms and corridors. Things that will help you avoid these rooms is to observe room transitions, leave bread crumbs behind, maintain a clear sense of direction, mark safe rooms, collaborate with other wanderers, look for unique features in rooms, stay calm, test room shifts, minimize random movement, and consider retreat if you're unsure.**

**19. Avoid the "No-End" Rooms.** Pay close attention to your surroundings and look for any signs that might indicate a No-End room. These signs could indicate unusual architecture, repeating patterns, or a lack of doors and exits. It would be wise to start creating maps. As you explore the Schoolrooms, try to create a map or mental layout of the rooms you've visited. This will help you avoid doubling back and potentially stumbling upon a No-End room you've already encountered.

Follow signs of life (within reason). If you see evidence of previous travelers, such as markings, notes, or objects left behind, consider following their path. They may have successfully avoided No-End rooms or found safer routes. Listen for distinct sounds. No-End rooms might produce unique and unsettling sounds due to their infinite nature. Listen for echoes, distant noises, or unnatural reverberations that could indicate a No-End room.

Avoid hallways and corridors. No-End rooms can often be found at the end of long hallways or corridors. If you encounter a seemingly endless corridor, it may lead to a dangerous space. Consider turning back or exploring alternate paths. Learn from your mistakes. If you accidentally enter a No-End room, take note of the signs or landmarks you've missed. Learn from your mistakes to avoid similar situations in the future.

Staying Hygienic in the Schoolrooms
**Though it can be difficult, staying hygienic in the schoolrooms is just as important to your health as eating or sleeping. Some ways you can make sure you keep yourself clean are carrying basic hygiene supplies, using clean water wisely, avoiding contaminated water, staying dry, improvising ways to clean, maintaining tidiness, avoiding unsanitary areas, grooming, and covering any open wounds.**

**20. Stay Hygienic** First, we'll cover a few sanitation supplies. Carry a few sanitation supplies like hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes, and soap. Regularly clean your hands, especially before eating or touching your face. Create make shift showers. If you find a water source, consider creating a makeshift shower by using a container with holes punched into the bottom.

This allows gravity to create a shower-like effect, helping you rinse off any grime. Maintain personal grooming as best as you can. Trim your nails, keep your hair tidy, and maintain oral hygiene. This can help prevent infections and improve your overall well-being. Also, keep your clothes as clean and dry as possible.

If you have multiple sets of clothing, rotate them to avoid wearing dirty clothes for too long. Now, something no one like to talk about. Waste disposal. If nature calls, find a secluded area to relieve yourself. Bury solid waste and dispose of trash properly to prevent environmental contamination.

Documenting your Journey in the Schoolrooms
**Though a lot of wanderers sometimes ignore this rule, it can be just as important as anything else in surviving. Here are some tips and easy ways to make sure you document thoroughly and correctly: Making detailed descriptions, drawing sketches or taking photographs, noting anomalies and entities, keeping track of time and location, writing your feelings and emotions, marking any resources and supplies, comparing your notes with other wanderers, creating maps for navigation, and documenting cautions or warnings.**

**21. Document your journey.** Keep a detailed journal where you record everything you encounter. Describe the rooms, hallways, and any unusual phenomena you come across. Note the time and location of significant events. Compliment your written entries with sketches or drawings of the environment. Visual representations can provide additional context and understanding.

If you have a camera or a smartphone, take photos or videos of the Schoolrooms architecture, anomalies, and any other intriguing aspects. Be cautious when capturing potentially dangerous elements. Create maps of areas you explore. Note down landmarks, potential exits, and areas of interest. These maps can help you navigate and avoid getting lost.

Don't just document what you see, however. Also document how you feel during your journey. The emotional toll of navigating such a bizarre and uncertain environment can be significant. You also want to keep track of your food, water, and other supplies. Knowing how much you have left will help you plan your journey and ration resources accordingly. If possible, back up your documentation in multiple ways, such as physical copies or encrypted devices. The Schoolrooms' unpredictable nature might lead to losses, so redundancy is crucial.

Being Mindful of Time Passing in the Schoolrooms
**Time passes in very incredible and unusual ways in the Schoolrooms, differing from working the same as time in reality to creating its own rules and laws for time. The best ways to keep track and be mindful of it are considering time dilation within the Schoolrooms, tracking patterns, keeping your wits about you, making escape plans, wearing a watch, taking regular breaks to check the time, documenting timestamps in your journal, and observing light changes.**

**22. Be mindful of time passing.** Pay close attention to how time feels in the Schoolrooms. It may seem to pass differently, either faster or slower, making it hard to gauge how long you've been exploring. Carry a reliable timekeeping device, such as a watch or smartphone, to track time accurately.

However, be aware that these devices may malfunction or lose signal in the strange environment. Document the time and date in your journal entries as you record your experiences. This can help you keep track of your journey's timeline. Also, establish daily routines to maintain a sense of time and structure in the Schoolrooms.

Regularly eat, sleep, and engage in activities to help anchor yourself to a more familiar concept of time. Set time limits for journeys. When venturing into the Schoolrooms, set time limits for your explorations. Avoid getting lost in the vastness of the dimension, and plan your movements accordingly.

Pay attention to natural light sources or other indicators of a day and night cycle. This can help you maintain a sense of time even in the absence of conventional timekeeping. If you're exploring with a group, regularly synchronize your watches or devices to ensure that everyone stays aware of the passage of time.

Monitoring your Mental State in the Schoolrooms
**Due to the disorienting nature and surrealness of the Schoolrooms, monitoring your mental state is extremely important for your health and safety. The importance of monitoring your mental state is because of psychological strain, the possibility of hallucinations and delusions, it affects decision making, and can cause extreme fear and anxiety. You can keep track of your mental state by making sure you take breaks for self-reflection, maintaining a journal, checking for any physical symptoms, staying connected with other wanderers, practicing mindfulness, and setting boundaries for yourself.**

**23. Monitor your mental state.**Regularly check in with yourself to identify any shifts in your emotions. Being aware of how you feel can help you address any negative emotions you may be feeling. Practice meditation and mindfulness techniques to stay grounded. This can help you reduce anxiety and improve your ability to cope with the unfamiliar surroundings.

Be aware of specific experiences, places, or entities that trigger negative emotions or feelings of unease. Knowing your triggers can help you to avoid them or develop coping strategies. If you 're with a group, communicate with your companions regularly. Sharing your experiences and emotions can provide support and a sense of camaraderie.

Be sure to remind yourself that you're in a strange dimension and that the environment might not be real. Be cautious around strange phenomena or entities that might affect your mental state< negatively. Avoid prolonged exposure to them if possible. Concentrate on your journey's purpose and survival. Having a clear goal can give you a sense of direction and purpose in the midst of uncertainty.

Always take time to remember your identity. Remind yourself who you are and y=your connections to the outside world. Holding onto your sense of self can provide stability in a seemingly unstable dimension.

Leaving signals for others in the Schoolrooms
**Leaving signals for other wanderers can be a lifeline in the Schoolrooms. Because of its size and unpredictability, communication with fellow wanderers can greatly increase your chances of survival. Here's how you can leave good signals for others: Leave marking on walls, leave trails of objects, create a system of symbols and codes, leave messages in found journals, use light signals and auditory cues, create formations with stacked objects, and use reflective surfaces.**

**24. Leave Signals for Others.** Now, we'll go over a few examples of signals. Use easily recognizable symbols or markings to indicate paths, safe areas, or potential dangers. Draw them on walls, floors, or any surface that can be seen by other wanderers.

Use arrows and directional shapes to guide others in a specific direction or toward essential resources like water sources or exits. Stack stones and debris in specific patterns or arrangements to indicate points of interest or to mark pathways. These can act as visual indicators to other wanderers that someone has been in the area.

Leave written messages or notes to communicate and share important information. This can help others understand the environment better and learn from our observations. Leave behind non-essential personal items or distinctive objects as signs that you've passed through an area. However, don't litter the Schoolrooms with a significant amount of debris.

Planning for Food Scarcity in the Schoolrooms
**Planning for food scarcity involves several key considerations. You must recognize the unpredictable nature of the Schoolrooms and the need for adaptive strategies. Things to keep in mind for food scarcity is preservation, foraging, community cooperation, knowing water sources, sustainable farming, preservation of food knowledge, bartering and trading, hunting (when applicable), resource inventory, and emergency supplies.**

**25. Plan for Food Scarcity.** To make limited food supplies last longer, rationing is absolutely essential. Carefully portioning meals and distributing them equitably among group members can help sustain everyone for a longer period. You'll also want to forage whenever you get the chance.

In some areas of the Schoolrooms, you might find some edible fungi, plants, or insects that can be foraged for sustenance. Learning about what can be found in each level is very useful. If any food items are found, preserve them by drying, smoking, or other methods to extend shelf life and prevent spoilage.

If there are creatures and entities in the Schoolrooms that can be hunted or possibly even fished and are safe to eat, careful hunting practices can provide additional food sources. You want to continue to explore different areas of the Schoolrooms as they can lead to the discovery of hidden stashes of food or resources of sustenance.

Gathering Intel from Notes in the Schoolrooms
**Intel from notes found around the Schoolrooms can be a valuable source of information to understand the environment and better increase your chances of living. Here's how you can effectively gather as much information as you can from notes: Read each note carefully, note the location of the note, look for symbols or codes, note dates and times, identify anomalies, check for collective knowledge (multiple notes that convey the same information), share information with other wanderers or your group, create a journal of your own, and above all, be cautious.**

**26. Gather Intel from Notes.** Read other wanderers' notes thoroughly to make sure you understand the context. Look for descriptions of landmarks, signs, or symbols that indicate a specific area or level within the Schoolrooms. Notes could also contain warnings about dangerous entities or regions to avoid.

Some notes found in the Schoolrooms might be encrypted or contain symbols that hold hidden meanings. Attempt to decipher any codes present, as they could provide valuable information about survival tactics, secret caches, or routes to safer areas. Notes may also include timestamps or references to time-related events.

These can be crucial in understanding the temporal nature of the Schoolrooms and predicting potential shifts in the environment. An important thing to remember is observing the emotional tone of the notes. Desperation, fear, or moments of clarity can offer insight into what the wanderer experienced and how they coped with the challenges of the Schoolrooms.

Prioritize notes that offer practical tips for survival, such as finding food and water sources, safe shelter, or information about hostile entities. With all of this in mind, not everything is as it seems in the Schoolrooms. Some notes might be intentionally misleading or traps set by hostile entities or malicious wanderers. Verify the credibility of the information by cross-referencing with other sources if possible.

Traveling in the Dark in the Schoolrooms
**Traveling in the dark can be a better decision than traveling during the day, assuming there are no entities nearby that are more well-equipped in the dark. Even if there are, you can be sure to stay safe by carrying a light source, preserving battery power, using natural light sources to your advantage, sticking to familiar areas, traveling slowly and cautiously, being very mindful of nearby entities, leaving markings, staying calm, traveling with companions, and resting periodically.**

**27. Travel at night or in the Dark.** Lack of natural light in the Schoolrooms makes navigating at night or in dark areas difficult. Carry a reliable light source to illuminate your path and be aware of potential hazards. There are heightened threats in entities within the Schoolrooms as some of them may be more active at night or in the dark.

Stay vigilant and cautious as encounters could be more likely during these times. If with a group, stay together. As mentioned many times, there is safety in numbers and teamwork can be crucial in facing unexpected challenges.

In order to successfully traverse the Schoolrooms at night, one must possess unwavering resilience and a strong mental fortitude. The constant uncertainty and lurking dangers can erode your sanity over time, which leads to a feeling of existential dread. You must also possess a willingness to confront the unknown and embrace the surreal nature of the Schoolrooms.

Avoiding Triggering Alarms in the Schoolrooms
**Avoiding triggering alarms is crucial to maintaining safety and preventing potential attacks. Alarms can attract unwanted attention and potential dangers, leading to very hazardous situations. Ways you can navigate the Schoolrooms without triggering alarms are by staying alert, moving slowly and quietly, studying patterns, using stealth and camouflage, disabling visible alarms (if possible), consulting notes and journals, traveling with a group, staying away from restricted areas, planning your routes, and always being prepared for an escalation if an alarm is triggered.**

**28. Avoid Triggering alarms.** Be mindful of your movements and try to walk softly. If you come across any suspicious-looking devices or structures that seem to be alarms, proceed with caution. If possible, try to disarm them without triggering them. Otherwise, just carefully navigate around them.

Some sections or areas of the Schoolrooms may be guarded or restricted to ordinary wanderers. Avoid venturing into these areas to reduce the risk of triggering alarms set up to protect territory.

You also want to connect with other wanderers when possible to share information about potential alarm-triggering hazards. This can greatly help you avoid known dangerous spots and increase your chances of safe passage. Keep your senses sharp and be observant of your surroundings. Listen for any unusual sounds or mechanical noises that might indicate the presence of alarms nearby.

Carrying a First Aid Kit in the Schoolrooms
**Carrying a proper first aid kit is a wise, vital, and essential precaution. As many unpredictable spaces and environments are within the Schoolrooms, risks and challenges can present themselves in a variety of ways. The main importance of carrying a first aid kit is for immediate medical attention, self-reliance, and minimizing your risk of infection.**

**29. Carry a First Aid Kit.** In the Schoolrooms, injuries can occur due to uneven terrain, encounters with hostile entities or wanderers, or accidental mishaps. Having a first aid kit enables you to administer immediate medical care for cuts, bruises, and minor wounds. You can also reduce the risk of infection and further complications.

Having a first aid kit allows you to act quickly in emergencies. Since the Schoolrooms mostly lacks conventional medical facilities and resources, having a fully stocked first aid kit empowers you to be self-reliant in treating minor injuries or medical issues. A comprehensive first aid kit for the Schoolrooms should include items like adhesive bandages, antiseptic wipes, gauze pads, medical tape, tweezers, scissors, and a sterile saline solution for cleansing wounds.

You also want to include over-the-counter pain relivers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen to manage discomfort or pain that might occur during your exploration. Including some type of insect repellent could also help prevent bites and stings from any mysterious insects found in the Schoolrooms.

Making Use of Fire Extinguishers in the Schoolrooms
**Using fire extinguishers in the Schoolrooms can serve multiple purposes and can become a valuable asset for you to use. They are versatile tools that can help you defend yourself, deal with certain hazards, and even help you navigate in the Schoolrooms. Some examples are visibility improvement, disorienting entities, signaling for help, creating diversions, suppressing small fires, clearing blocked pathways, combatting hazards, and personal defense.**

**30. Make Use of Fire Extinguishers.** We know, it sounds stupid, but hear us out. As ridiculous as it sounds, you will come across fire extinguishers in the Schoolrooms and being able to utilize them to their fullest potential could be invaluable. Obviously, they can be used for their primary purpose of extinguishing small fires that may break out in the Schoolrooms.

Some fire extinguishers, especially those with powder-based agents, can act as temporary light sources in dark corridors. When activated, they release a cloud of extinguishing agent that can provide illumination that can make it easier to navigate low-light conditions.

Some entities may even be sensitive to certain chemicals or disoriented by the sudden release of a fire extinguishers contents. In dire situations, activating the extinguisher can provide a brief distraction allowing you to escape or avoid them.

These useful objects can also be used to signal for help as the loud noise and visible cloud of discharge could act as a distress signal to other wanderers in the vicinity. Using a fire extinguisher could lead them to your location. Finally, if you encounter areas that are foggy or filled with gas, discharging a fire extinguisher can help disperse or clear the air temporarily, improving visibility and safety.

Studying Maps in the Schoolrooms
**Studying maps is a crucial strategy for navigation and survival as they can help you understand the layout of areas, plan your routes more effectively, and much more. Reasons why you should always study maps are orientation and knowing your location, identifying safe areas, avoiding danger zones, finding resources, and even escape planning.**

**31. Study Maps.** The Schoolrooms are a labyrinth and maps may offer some sense of orientation and help you navigate through seemingly endless mazes. By identifying landmarks or specific configurations, wanderers might have a better chance of finding their way around.

Some maps could indicate where a Safe Zone can be found that can offer safety and resources, or just a temporary refuge. The vastness and uniformity of the Schoolrooms makes it easy to get disoriented and can make escaping a daunting task.

Maps might reveal potential exits or areas with weak foundations that could lead to freedom or a way out. Understanding the layout of certain areas can aid in planning movement and avoiding danger. Wanderers can strategize their path, evade threatening entities, and identify hiding spots.

Decoding symbols in the Schoolrooms
**Decoding symbols in the Schoolrooms is a valuable skill that can help you understand the environment and interpret warnings. The Schoolrooms is filled with enigmatic symbols, graffiti, and markings left by other wanderers. A few steps you can take to help you decode these symbols are making sure you observe and document everything, look for patterns, consult notes and journals, collaborate with other wanderers, pay attention to context, trial and error (unfortunately), look for iconography, draw parallels to history or even mythology, use your instincts, and create a key or A legend of symbols.**

**32. Decode Symbols.** Some wanderers will notice symbols around the Schoolrooms. Observing where the symbols appear and what's around them can offer some insights. Some might be in specific areas or clustered around objects, which could suggest some kind of connection to the environment.

They may also reveal recurring themes or underlying structures within the Schoolrooms' infinite and chaotic spaces. As mentioned in studying notes, some symbols can be found in notes that point out danger, Safe Zones, or supplies. Collaboration with other wanderers is also very important to get information on symbols you don't recognize or telling others about symbols you've found that you know the meaning of.

Using Noise Distractions in the Schoolrooms
**Using noise distractions in the Schoolrooms can be an effective strategy to divert attention away from you, create distractions, and enhances your chances of surviving. Examples of using sound distractions to your advantage are identifying safe areas, choosing noises wisely, timing your distractions, gauging the reaction of your distraction, creating distance, combining your sounds with visual distractions, disorienting hostile entities, using noises as a warning, and being mindful of your surroundings.**

**33. Use Noise Distractions.** When faced with a potential threat, wanderers can create noise distractions to divert the attention of hostile entities or creatures away from their location.

This can buy them time to escape or hide. Wanderers can also use noise signals to mark paths they've explored or to help remember significant locations. Noise distractions can also be used as a means of communication between members of a group, even if they are separated.

This can be crucial for coordinating movements or sharing important information. Certain noises, such as footsteps or subtle echoes, can act as an early warning signal and alert wanderers to potential dangers or approaching entities. You could also help your mental state by creating familiar or soothing sounds that provide a sense of comfort or reassurance.

Being Wary of Mirrors in the Schoolrooms
**Being wary of mirrors is essential due to their potential to create disorienting and dangerous situations. They can act as portals, alter reality, and even attract malevolent entities. Reasons to avoid them are the portal effect, possible reality distortions, entity attractions, echoes of other wanderers in the mirrors, the emotional impact it could have, illusions and traps, a loss of personal identity, reflection abnormalities, potential deception, and distractions.**

**34. Be Wary of Mirrors.** Mirrors can act as gateways to different levels or sections within the Schoolrooms. Stepping through a mirror might transport the wanderer to an entirely different, and possibly much more treacherous, area. Mirrors can also produce distorted or nightmarish reflections.

These reflections might not actually represent the wanderer's appearance and could lead to feelings of unease or disconnection from reality. Some mirrors might appear strangely enticing that draw wanderers closer to them. This luring effect can be dangerous as it may lead them further into maze-like spaces and make it much easier to become lost.

Certain mirrors may have mysterious symbols or messages etched into their frames or surfaces. This could serve as a warning or clue to dangers that lie ahead. In rare cases, wanderers have reported encountering trapped reflections inside of mirrors. These reflections seemed to be sentient and act independently from the person in they're mirroring. Interaction with these reflections could result in unpredictable and potentially harmful consequences.

Finding Hidden Passages in the Schoolrooms
**To find hidden passages in the Schoolrooms, you must be cautious and alert, as your chances of finding trouble are increased. Some things that we suggest is to explore, look for patterns, pay attention to changes, collaborate with other wanderers (always important), mind your surroundings, and continuously document your journey.**

**35. Find Hidden Passages.** Pay close attention to the environment and look for recurring patterns or anomalies in the walls, floors, or ceilings. Unusual discolorations, markings, or irregularities could indicate the presence of a hidden passage. Be attentive to sounds or faint noises that might suggest air currents. This could hint at a secret corridor nearby.

Hidden passages might alter the temperature in the vicinity, leading to cooler or warmer spots compared to surrounding areas. Being attuned to such changes could aid in locating hidden routes. Interact with objects in the Schoolrooms (carefully) , such as furniture or debris, as they might be concealing entrances or pathways when moved or manipulated in a specific way.

Look for symbols on walls or floors, as they may act as indicators of hidden passages or provide guidance on a safer path to follow. Finally, trial and error. As the Schoolrooms are ever-changing, be prepared for a lot of trial and error in your search for hidden passages. What might be hidden one moment could be visible later, or vise versa.

Conserving your Energy in the Schoolrooms
**Conserving your energy is crucial when navigating the Schoolrooms and you should always make sure to pace yourself, rest regularly, stay hydrated, travel light, use your light sources wisely (energy conservation), plan your routes, explore in a group, avoid danger at all costs, maintain mental vigilance, and make sure you have an exit strategy.**

**36. Conserve Your Energy!** Walk or move at a steady pace to avoid unnecessary exhaustion. Running and panicking can lead to fatigue, making it harder to handle threats. Take short breaks to rest and regain energy when needed, but avoid extended periods of inactivity to prevent becoming an easy target for lurking dangers. Light energy is important as well, so use it wisely.

Only use them when absolutely necessary to conserve battery or fuel. However, be cautious. Dark environments can be intimidating, but light usage may attract unwanted attention. If you have limited supplies, such as food, water, or equipment, ration them carefully to ensure they last as long as possible.

Always prioritize essential items over non-essential items. You also want to avoid unnecessary interactions. While exploration is crucial, not every area or object needs to be investigated. Focus on finding safe passages and avoiding dangerous entities rather than engaging in risky encounters.

The Schoolrooms can be very mentally taxing and lead to panic or overthinking. Maintain a calm mindset and focus on the task at hand to avoid unnecessary energy expenditure on fear and anxiety. Always plan ahead before setting out on an expedition. Have a rough idea of where you want to go and what you're hoping to achieve. This will help minimize aimless wandering and conserve your energy.

Memorizing Important Details in the Schoolrooms
**Though important and necessary, memorizing details in the Schoolrooms can be difficult, especially if your memory isn't the greatest. Ways to enhance your memory and retain important details are using visualization, repetition, chunking complex information into smaller, easier to remember pieces, taking notes, creating mnemonics, focusing and concentrating, relating details to your surroundings, reviewing information frequently, using multiple senses, and teaching other wanderers to do the same.**

**37. Memorize Important Details.** Identify unique or distinctive features in the environment, such as objects, symbols, or notable architectural elements. Using these landmarks as reference points can help you navigate or recognize areas you've already explored.

Try to form a mental map of your journey by mentally connecting rooms or areas you've already passed through to provide a sense of direction and prevent becoming lost. If you have a journal, note important details, symbols, or clues that you've come across to have a written record. This will serve as a valuable reference and aid in solving puzzles or deciphering hidden messages.

Repeat important details over and over and visualize them in your mind. Associating visuals or mental images with specific information can enhance recall. Utilizing mnemonic techniques, such as acronyms or rhymes, can help you remember critical information more effectively.

This can be important for recalling sequences or complex details. Focus on memorizing information that directly impacts your immediate safety or objective. In the Schoolrooms, knowing the way to an exit or the location of a potential threat should take precedence over minor details.

Looking for Exit Signs in the Schoolrooms
**While being trapped or chased in the Schoolrooms, finding exit signs can be a potential lifeline. They can indicate ways to escape or exit into another area. Some good strategies to use in your search are observing your environment, following patterns in corridors and halls, listening for clues, navigating toward light, seeking out Safe Zones, using light sources, keeping a map, collaborating with others, remembering previous encounters, and staying calm.**

**38. Look for Exit Signs.** Exiting the Schoolrooms is a very, very, challenging and elusive goal. Wanderers must be persistent in their journey by thoroughly exploring different areas and being vigilant for any signs of potential exits. Pay attention to symbols, markings, or patterns that might mark the presence of an exit sign.

Look for signs that stand out from the monotonous environment of the Schoolrooms. Exit signs usually have bold lettering, bright colors, or placed strategically in areas that are more likely to be noticed. Exits signs can also emit a faint glow, especially in darker sections of the Schoolrooms. Keep an eye out for sources of light that could lead to an exit.

Sometimes, areas that appear to be different from the rest of the Backrooms could indicate a way out. Unfamiliar architecture or unusual changes in the environment might be worth investigation. At the end of the day, trust your instincts. While there may not be clear guidelines for finding exit signs, sometimes your own intuition can play a role in guiding wanderers toward the right path.

**DON'T GIVE UP** in the Schoolrooms
**Not giving up is, obviously, absolutely crucial for your survival as you explore the Schoolrooms. Reasons why staying alive is important and how to stay resilient is adaptability, mental strength, learning from your mistakes, support from your group, maintaining your focus, remembering your purpose, making sure to do self-care, believing in your abilities, accepting uncertainty, and always having the hope for an escape back into reality.**

**39. DON'T GIVE UP!** Holding onto hope and maintaining determination can provide the motivation needed to continue searching for an exit or safe passage. Believing that there might be a way out keeps wanderers focused on their goal. In the Schoolrooms, giving up or losing hope can lead to careless actions which could make you vulnerable to lurking threats.

Your natural survival instinct drives you to keep moving forward. With the constant feeling of being lost and the fear of the unknown, it can be very psychologically taxing. Perseverance demonstrates resilience and the mental strength to withstand these challenges. Persistence can increase the chances of making new discoveries, finding hidden clues, or stumbling upon valuable resources that can aid in survival.

Fellow wanderers can provide you with a sense of companionship, assistance, and encouragement. Not giving up fosters a sense of camaraderie among those facing the same struggles. Staying strong maintains the possibility of reaching a resolution, whether in finding an exit, discovering the meaning of the Schoolrooms, or overcoming personal fears and challenges. Above everything else, always remember that you aren't alone and we are in this together.
