Tips for Middle School

Starting middle school can be really scary, trust me I know from experience. Here is some tips that helped me:

- Memorize your locker combination before day one...Nothing is worse then standing at your locker for 5 minutes (a few seconds before the bell rings mind you) while everyone walks by.
- Bring an extra pencil! You WILL loose your first one, it's basically guaranteed.
- Don't be afraid to ask where your class is! Everyone gets lost the first few days, even the 8th graders sometime forget where rooms are.
- Sit with someone new at lunch. I know it's scary but you might make a new best friend, that's actually how me and my friend Sophie met.
- Remember that everyone is nervous too. Even the kids who look super confident are probably just as nervous as you, they just hide it better.
- Middle school isn't as scary as it seems once you get used to it. Just give it some time and you'll be fine, I promise.
