first day / all year;
-wake up on time so you can make
sure you double check that you have
everything, eat a good breakfast and
look good.
-get 8 or more hrs of sleep, it will make
you look more awake and youll wake
up and get out of bed much easier.
-if youre taking the bus be like 10 mins
early to your bus stop to make sure
that you dont miss your bus.
-if youre getting a ride there, be there
a little bit early so you can find your
friends and dont feel lost.
-pick what youre going to wear the night
before so you dont have to run out the
door ( a mistake i made all 8th grade
year )
-if you decide to change anything during
the year, such as make up or something,
*dont* make a huge change over night. for
example, you decide to wear make up;
dont come in one day with eyeshadow,
liner, mascara, lipgloss foundation etc.
**make changes gradual.**
locker;
-def. have a mirror and a brush in your
locker for hair and make up touch ups.
-also make it fun and put up pictures
magnets and w.e you want to make
it “you”.
clothes;
-make sure you follow your schools dress
code to avoid trouble. trust me.
-if your school allows heels, and you want
to wear them, make sure theyre a height
you can walk in and break them in first.
-please make sure that your underwear or
bra isnt showing through youre clothes.
( light colored or sheer clothes )
-keep some extra clothes in your locker
( like sweat pants or a hoodie or
something incase you get something on
your shirt or pants. )
-dress according to the weather. dont
wear a miniskirt when its too cold and
youre getting weird looks cause its winter.
makeup;
-if you dont wear any makeup and you
want to start wearing some, lipgloss and
mascara is a good choice. unless you
overdo it, it looks clean and natural but
still nice.
-eyeliner in 6th grade can look very trashy
if youre not careful in the way you put it on.
-basically go light on the makeup. save the
more dramatic looks for parties and special
occasions.
purse;
-if youre school allows it, get a purse thats
a good size for school that you can carry
around with you.
-keep things that you would and will need in
it like pen, pencil, hairbrush, cellphone,
money, gum / mints, pads / tampons, lipgloss,
etc. etc. basically anything.
sooo…. basicallyyy… just have fun. i know this
was a lot. but dont follow everything. if you dont
want to wear heels… dont. if you dont want to
wear makeup… dont. just be you. but these
were just things incase you wanted anything.
well have fun in 6th grade and dont be nervous
to make some new friends. the more the merrier.
oh and do your best in school.
hope that helped (:

Just relax…. It may take a little time to adjust, but it isn’t bad at all. 6th grade is when you will start learning fractions and equations in math. You also get to go to 6th grade science camp, offered in MOST schools and that is a fun couple of days. Science is alot funner cause there are better experiments and things for you to learn. Computer lab was a blast. The thing is…. you will still know alot of people cause all your friends will be making the transistion with you so you won’t have to feel insecure with your surroundings… Go to the dances with your friends, you can now since you are older… Live life to the fullest and take it one day at a time. You might even want to consider going for one of the sports or get onto the yearbook staff…. In high school, take spanish and the foods class… You can make food and EAT it. Hope you have a wonderful 6th grade experience… Enjoy your life!!!!

Have a mirror with a small basket under it and put chapstic and nail clippers and stuff like that in it. and have a basket in the bottom and when you need to take stuff home, put it in the basket and at the end of the day just dump the stuff in the basket in your backpack. Color code your folders and books by subject. don’t be scared and everything WILL BE FINE. i promise. and you’re welcome.

Ok, all the 7th and 8th graders will be walking up to each other in the hallways shouting to friends saying stuff like “OMG, I missed you!” and What’s up!” Don’t do that trying to blend in, it’ll just going to call attention to yourself and they’ll make fun of you. It sounds dumb, but don’t slack off, all my friends did and they were really sorry!
