Starting Middle School

I recently made a huge jump from elementary school to middle school. Everything is really different, but hang in there! Here are some tips for school.

MIDDLE SCHOOL TIPS

1. Buy a locker. You have a bunch of supplies, and the locker helps you lighten your load. 
2. Make sure you have time to get to your locker. If you have a far away class from your locker, pick up some extra supplies before. 
3. Use your electives wisely. P.E is mandatory unless you put in a note. If you like PE, don't bother with the note! But if you don't like it and you forget the note, you only have one elective. 
4. Spend time with friends after school. The middle school system may separate you from your friends, but you can always hang out after school! 
5. Plan ahead. Some teachers don't give any homework, while some give you three projects in a week! Make a balanced homework schedule and you'll be fine. 

OVERALL SCHOOL TIPS

1. Complete projects in advance. If you slack off and have a big project due in a week, then you'll have to cram it all in during the last night!
2. Grab a school map. Even if you know most of the way around your school, your classes may be in a new area. So learn your classes and pick the shortest routes. 
3. (MAJOR TIP) SILENCE YOUR PHONES! If your phone rings during class, you can kiss it goodbye forever! 
4. Be friendly to the kids you sit next to. Then you'll have some more friends, and the more the merrier! 

Follow these tips and you'll be fine.

World Craziness!

The world is really screwed up right now! From ISIS to Putin to the Gaza case to immigration problems! If you don't know about any of this, shame on you. The world is in flames, and things don't look like they'll get any better! So here's what I think we should do.

1. Send in soldiers to destroy ISIS. 
2. Make a fence between Mexico and the USA. (Pretty stupid idea, but what else can we do? Shoot the poor kids?) 
3. Have a press conference with Putin to attempt shutting him up. 
4. I do not know what to do otherwise.

I know I normally talk about kid stuff, but whatever!

Happy New Year!

"It's the most wonderful time of the year in the whole wide world!" -My friend Juliana

Besides Christmas, my favorite time of year is New Year's Eve! Usually, my parents, sister and I go to the InterContinental hotel alone. But this year, we had two special guests: My crazy cousins Kevin and Brian! We love each other very much! But the thing I'm stressing about is my New Year's Resolutions! Here are some good ones:

LEARNING TO TWERK WITHOUT PANTING

TO STOP FARTING IN CLASS

LOSE 20 POUNDS

OK, that's good resolutions if you're overweight. For skinny kids:

TRY TO ACTUALLY DO A PULL-UP

ACTUALLY EAT YOUR FOOD

GAIN 20 POUNDS

If you're in between:

LEARN TO DANCE

NOT FART ONCE EVER!

STAY WHERE YOU ARE WITH YOUR WEIGHT

HAPPY 2014!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hot Spots

The sun is beating drastically. Waves are crashing. You slump into your hotel bed saying: " Is this a good vacation?"

Summer us great. But it only lasts 104 days. You want to live it to the best, right? Here are a few vacation hot spots. 

FLORIDA

Florida is an easy choice. Theme parks, beaches, sport teams and buildings. Florida is an amazing spot, period. 

CALIFORNIA

Just like Florida, but instead of skyscrapers, they have mountains and hills. California is a strong choice. 

WYOMING

Wyoming has Yellowstone Park, water rafting, mountains and many friendly stores. Wyoming is the perfect place to just kick back and go down a river in a raft.

Those are my short top 3. What are YOURS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! :)

Bullying: A Two-Way Street

When you think of someone getting bullied, you think a poor, helpless kid. But what if it was one of your best friends?

        You'd be shocked, right? Who wouldn't want to be upset? Now pretend the victim IS your best friend, even if  he or she isn't. It's almost absolutely necessary to help. Even if you make a website and mention someone in a bad way is considered bullying. Even if you don't mean it, it can be bullying if: 

You physically hurt.

Call someone a name like "stupid" or "moron" or even worse. 

Go behind his or her back.

Make website and tease person on it. 

Text someone or email someone and tease person. 

Etc.

         If you know someone who does any of those things to you, your friends or even your enemies and people you don't know, report it to an adult. There are much worse things that some kids do, but I  want to keep your dreams good and not send you a virtual nightmare. Bottom line: Bullying is never cool. Sometimes, the bully does it because they're scared of you. For more info, Cartoon Network and CNN made a documentary called "The Bully Project" you can watch online or occasionally on TV.
