Lorya’s Guide to Surviving Middle School

First thing first, middle school is not all that bad. There will be great UPS and terrible DOWNS. To be honest all you need is a couple loyal friends and a great solid personality.

6TH GRADE
SO, when you first come in 6th grade it's a good idea to have some friends that are older than you because they give you good advice...Like me. Next make sure that your friends are down for anything because middle is gonna be like a scary rollercoaster.
Next, make sure you know where you're going. THIS IS IMPORTANT. Also, don’t make any enemies on the first day of school. The more enemies you have the more trouble you get in.

7TH GRADE
When your going to the 7th grade you have a clear idea of what going on. One thing is that there is way more drama than 6th grade. When you get there they make you use you locker. I never used or have to use my locker in 6th grade but they made me use it and i still can’t  use it.  It’s hard because you have 3 minutes to get to your class and if you don’t know how to use it you are probably gonna be late.

8TH GRADE
I'm looking forward to 8th is the OBX trip, which is Outer Banks trip (you go to the beach). Also i am looking forward to formal. Formal is like prom for 8th graders.

All and all, Middle school is cool and a great experience. Just stay out of trouble and you’ll be fine.
