♡ dear diary... ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤchapter one : ㅤㅤㅤㅤ7th grade advice Alright so this will be divided into 3 different groups ; academics, needs, and social life... ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤACADEMICS : please please focus during class, trust me. Whatever the teachers say might be on a test and when you focus during class, you'll understand everything so much better. Grades matter trust me so please pay attention during class and focus on doing your school work. You should also study for tests and assessments, the more you study and take notes the better performance you get on your test. I recommend taking a AVID class it helps, I'm taking one this year and it's really fun and helpful, I've made a couple of friends in avid. ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤNEEDS : deodorant !! I'm saying this respectfully but please wear deodorant, it's the bare minimum, a lot of people smell in middle school so please. It'd also be really nice if you wore perfume n stuff js to smell good, you'll make a good impression if you smell good !! you can wear make up, like full faces, no one really cares so you're welcome to. I recommend getting a planner for you to write down your homework or when there's a test coming up, you also need a big d ring binder, with the binder organizer things, buy a box of pencils just in case someone needs some and they normally don't give it back but wtv man. ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤSOCIAL LIFE : popularity isn't everything. don't try hard to fit in or be popular. IMO its annoying when people be rlly loud and annoying js to fit in, like dawg.... anyways you should at least have 1 friend in each class, you don't have to talk to them during lunch or break you can hang out with ur elementary friends, but i recommend having at least 1 friend in each class so you arent really lonely.
