A trip down Middle school lane

Okay, I doubt any adults forget their Middle School experience. It is the most dramatic and interesting period of my life so far. I might be only thirteen, but I have been through strange times. Sixth grade, the good old days when all the girls were two-faced and we loved and hated each other. Seventh grade, the present days where everyone acts like weirdoes behind the teachers. And, of course, the grade that awaits me, Eighth grade. I love my friends so much. They are like strange sisters that are creepy and who make stupid mistakes, but, of course, that's why I love them. Because I am one too! Oh and who can be a teenager girl without guys? Uh, NO ONE! Come on, we have all had a crush at least once. I think boys are stupid, but we love them. The food pyramid for teenagers are chips, chocolate, pizza, ice cream, slushes, and of course, soda! Don't even get me started on drama! Whoa buddy, it's like drama street in this place! Girls fighting, guys fighting, and yes, even girls and guys fighting. I love everybody at this school but, come on, we are so much better than this. Be ready to take a trip down my memory lane of insaneness starting from the beginning of this year. Pop some popcorn and pull out some candy and sit back, relax, and enjoy the fun of seventh grade.

The first day of school was....nerve racking I guess. I was so nervous, but I don't know why. I expected to see new students and teachers, and yes I did. I don't remember that much, besides smiling at tanned faces and complimenting new hairstyles. I wasn't too surprised though because I saw some friends at volleyball camp. But I was surprised in science! Last year, well we didn't exactly learn much but this year, we had info shoved down our throats. We skipped sixth and seventh grade science and went straight to eighth grade science. A couple months later was my birthday! I had my thirteenth birthday party and it was great until an anonymous friend rocketed on my other friend accidentally and she sprained her arm but it wasn't too mushed.

A really good memory was at my friend Ashley's birthday party right after Christmas. We went to the mall on a scavenger hunt! We ran around in prom dresses competing with each other by doing really strange things like playing duck-duck-goose, crazy makeovers, staring contests, and singing on the radio as we dressed each other with Victoria's Secret items! It was so insane but I loved it. I love hanging out with my friends anytime.

Then again, life isn't all fun and games. It has it's ups and downs, thick and thins, and drama and peace. I have witnessed fights in between best friends and life changing choices having to be made. One of the scariest things was when my friend was being, I guess blackmailed. It scared all of us but it was over after a little bit. Another awful incident was when Miranda got kicked in the head by her horse. She thought it was hilarious, but we were on the other side of the phone freaking out. I thought she was either gonna die or be mentally retarded. Luckily, neither happened! Well, she was a little bit of the second one already. :) Just kidding, I love you Miranda! But those were a couple scary incidents this year.

Actually, with me there wasn't much drama at all. I did get sick quite a lot this year. :/ Speaking of which, I don't exactly feel great right now! But I usually get sinus infections all the time. Right now isn't the best time to be sick though. Why you ask, well I'm kinda in a play, and well, we have a show tomorrow! It is actually the Wizard of Oz. I am a Jitterbug/Tree #1/Oz Chorus. It is very fun except for the late practices that go until ten. But it is a great experience to go through with my friends and family.

I experienced some really peculiar things this year. One day, when I spent the night with Miranda, we were about to go out a door, when she dropped her phone and the back came off and a COCKROACH POPPED OUT of it. It scared us, but Mrs. Margie saved us. Another weird thing that happened was when I went to the rodeo with Gracen. We went to see Foreigner, an oldie but a goodie, as Gracen's mom called him. We sat down, not knowing anyone around us because her mom was a few rows up. We were screaming and junk when this drunk Russian lady pulled my hair and started talking to us, telling us not to smoke and that the boys used to love her when she played songs for them. WHAT THE HECK?! Yeah, it was really weird.

I had some good times this year at NBCA. I love hanging out with my friends in art and grammar class. I'm going to miss everybody next year though. I'm definitely gonna stay in touch and visit them. I still can't believe we are going to eighth grade then high school!! Next year, I could get my driver's permit! That is a weird thought. I feel like we are getting old really fast but I'm just enjoying the ride. It's insane to see what's gonna happen everyday, but whatever happens, I can always use a cup of lemonade. Or just use life's lemons as a weapon for people's eyes. :) Some people say I'm weird and a spaz, but whatever, their loss! I'm enjoying my hyperness.

In conclusion, Middle school is super fun. I love my friends, teachers, and family. I love being myself, even if I don't fit in. I will always remember the fun times in life, and ignore the bad. I wish I could repeat some things about this year. I remember the laughs I laughed and the tears I cried, but I could never forget my friends. I think people who laugh are healthier and wrinklier than other people, but only because they smiled too much. :) Middle school is a scary yet interesting experience that I'm ready to conquer.
