I had my outfit planned for my first day and I had just moved from California, so I was wearing my OP shorts, a Hawaiian shirt, Birkenstocks. And I felt real cool. I was like, move over Tucsonans, a Cali girl is in your midst,\u201d said the 56-year-old. \u201cWorst memory was probably going into second grade with a terrible shag haircut.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n 2 of 6<\/p>\n Phillip Faraone\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n The Booksmart<\/em> actress was all about back-to-school fashion. \u201cYou gotta bring it first day, and my mom would always get me something so rad and cool,\u201d said the 27-year-old. \u201cI would always be coordinated with my sister, who\u2019s two years younger than me.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n 3 of 6<\/p>\n Monica Schipper\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n The 60-year-old has passed down his childhood tradition of taking a first-day-of-school pic in front of the house to his own kids. \u201cWe do it every year with my kids with a little sign: Kindergarten, first day of kindergarten, first day of first grade,\u201d said the dad of two. \u201cI have that from my childhood, and now my kids have that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n 4 of 6<\/p>\n Santiago Felipe\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n Losing her lunch! \u201cMy worst back-to-school story is my mom packed my favorite lunch, which was sardines and chocolate pudding, and it just doesn\u2019t smell good, doesn\u2019t look good,\u201d the former Real Housewife, 60, recalled. \u201cAnd I come home and I\u2019m like, \u2018Mom, none of my friends like me.\u2019 I had the worst paper bag lunch ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n 5 of 6<\/p>\n Dimitrios Kambouris\/WireImage<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n Fresh start! For the 51-year-old, school supplies were key. \u201cYou could completely reinvent yourself every year if you wanted to, defined by your backpack and your pencil case,\u201d the mom of one said. \u201cI still like that, the smell of sharpening pencils and all new erasers.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n 6 of 6<\/p>\n Karwai Tang\/WireImage<\/p>\n<\/figure>\nKate Walsh<\/h2>\n
