Go to Welcome Week. Enjoy your second chance and celebrate your hard work up until this point. After WW is done, just go back to working intensely hard and taking care of yourself to ensure that the grades you have after this point are ones you're proud of and you can look forward to a great first year instead of remembering back to a less than ideal one the first time around.
Second chances and 'restarts' don't come around often.
Congratulations and best of luck.

I think the OP was worried about their former classmates now being their TAs, not the same TAs they had in first year remembering them.
And yes, third year students can TA things like first year bio, chem, anatomy, psych, calc (at least, the science calc...idk about other first-year calc courses).
The chances of you getting someone you know as your TA is slim but you can go to the prof or IA and request a section change due to conflict of interest (if you can't change the section yourself on SOLAR) if it bothers you that much. As other people have said though, the TA probably doesn't care much. You're way overthinking this.
