How to Survive 8th Grade

Well, it's that time of year.

SUMMER! As excited as I am, I'll miss seeing my classmates every day. This year has been a roller coaster ride, figuratively and literally.

In order to make your life easier in 8th grade (or in school), here's some tips to make the school year more enjoyable:

1) Stay organized
Without organization, you can loose assignments. You'll get bad grades in binder checks which some teachers can judge hard

2) Be on time
If your late for things, you can miss out. Being late a certain amount of times can also lead to a detention and teachers will throw shade on you which is bad

3) If you have science class with Mr. Moore, be nice
Mr. Moore is a tough teacher that has high expectations. Try to be extra nice to him. He could take away a point or two if you're being naughty.

4) Take breaks
School can be hard. I usually have sudden bursts of energy so its nice to take a 5 minute break here and there

5) Stay on track
It's important to take breaks, but not too many. There's been many times that I take a break and I loose track of time. 45 minutes later, I'm behind on the work.

6) Do what you want
Don't do something because your friends are. If there's a big group of people hanging out, don't feel unpopular. Do what you want at your own pace.

7) Don't stress
If you're really worried about something, don't freak out too much. It's only 8th grade. Colleges probably won't be looking at your grades when you apply.

8) Have fun
The year can be hard but enjoy it.  Hang out with your friends when your work is done and don't worry about every single thing.

Welp, that's all folks!
