Surviving Your First Week

`Hello and this is my (CaptainKNT’s) blog on how to handle your first week of middle school. Alright making a dramatic entrance on the first day of school isn’t going to help you. The best thing to do on the first week is to get to know people. I know that you may be shy and won’t want to talk to anyone but you must overcome your fear if you are to survive middle school. Getting to know people and letting them get to know you is a good way to make friends, you wouldn’t want to be known as the weirdo who has no friends and sits in the corner all day alone, that would be a disaster. Also hang with people who have your same interests.

            The next thing to do on the first week is to make a good impression on the teachers. This is the key to surviving middle school because when the teachers like you they will offer more help and support. It’s also always fun to have funny teachers that fool around every now and then. Another thing is to engage in school activities or sports. It is a great way to get involved and get to know people, it also will keep you active during the week. If I didn’t do sports I would just sit on the couch as soon as I got home. Of course there is one more thing to do on the first week…

            The final thing to do on the first week is to try and understand how the school works and stay organized. Make sure you know your classes and where they are, trust me I’ve gotten lost in the halls plenty of times. Get used to the rules of the school and how people behave; it can be a lot different from your previous school. Make sure to keep a binder and agenda for keeping track of homework and other things. Last but not least keep up your Swag. Do all of these things and you might just Survive Middle School!
