27 Things You Should Know Before You Start Middle School

Oh hi. I’m Nabila. I’m also a blogger. Oh yeah I’m also 12 and going into 7th grade. I bet you didn’t expect that. A 12 year old blogger? I know so weird. I’m a very weird person. So since I am going into 7th grade that means that last year at this time I was going into 6th grade which in the US means starting middle school. It is extremely scary. You are going from elementary which is like a little kid school to middle school where you are supossed to be all responsible and its hard. Somehow I actually survived and I am still here to tell the story. Although the story is not really that interesting since I don’t have that much of an interesting life but you get the point! Because the transition is so hard I want to make it a little less hard for all of you guys who are going into 6th grade this year by listing a couple things you should know/just advice . Lets get started!

1. Don’t be scared 

2. Summer reading assignments are a thing

3. Friends are one of the most important things on the planet 

4. First impressions are everything 

5. Just because it is summer doesn’t mean you shouldn’t learn

6. Homework is important

7. The older kids aren’t crazy people (most of the time)

8. Trying to be cool is kind of stupid. Just being you is actually being cool

9. Some friends aren’t forever

10. Getting involved in drama (not the theater kind but the gossip kind) is never smart

11. If you have a hobby then sign up for a club or competition in something or get really involved in a class

12. Saying hi can sometimes do amazing good

13. Talk to people

20. Getting the correct school supplies is important

21. Actions almost always speak louder then words

22. Choose your friends wisely

23. Rules are there to protect you, not hurt you

24. Choose what you believe in not because it is popular, but because it is right

25. Don’t be afraid to reach out to new people

26. Don’t rely on one friend or teacher or person

27. Grades count
