are u bored yet by wallows & clairo this is like reflections 2.0 since i actually made one a year ago about how i felt about 7th grade, and now we’re nearing the end of 8th, and basically the end of my middle school experience so ya i have heard most, if not all, people who come out of middle school saying that they absolutely hated those 3 years. i, on the other hand, think that the past 3 years of my life have been some of the best actually. even though i’ve had a number of lows (and some EXTREMELY low) throughout, they cannot rival how many highs there have been for me i’ve met a lot of people, some awesome and others not so much. despite that, i still love this school—as chaotic, infamous, ghetto, etc this place is, i wouldn’t want it any other way so many unforgettable moments and bonds of mine have been made here. i kept and strengthened some of my friendships from elementary some of my teachers in the past 3 years, absolutely phenomenal—shoutout to my 7th grade civics/ela/science teachers and the pe coach and my 6th grade science and IT teachers fr they were goated this year none of my teachers really stood out that much, maybe my ela teacher this year cuz she’s super chill and when shes being sarcastic its funny. my geometry teacher teaches very well, i feel confident i’ll do good on the upcoming eoc edit: all feelings r gone now you cant have a proj about me talking about my life w/o me telling you guys ab my crush so like yes here is that section where i do so i just found it astonishing how last year, i wished for us to become friends again. i wrote a letter to him, i expressed how i felt to him, and we ended up in the same class for bio for 8th. our friendship was and is something i cherished a lot. he and my bsf didn’t really get along very well, and he just doesn’t click w girls. i, however, seem to be an exception (yes i am genderfluid but i am an afab). here we are, with our bond much stronger, i’m beyond surprised that this wish of mine actually came true. we’ve gotten to the point where we’re comfortable making casual inappropriate jokes and we bother each other in the most playful way possible. i have a lot of fun talking to him in 1st period he’s one of the main reasons that made this school year worthwhile this year i started to be much more focused on my irl life and way less of my online presence. though it’s costing me a lot of my friendships with people on here, it’s honestly not too much of a deal for me. life always comes first. my mental state and grades have been significantly higher compared to last quarter when i was more active online though 6th grade was completely online, it didn’t at all stop me from making two friends from my coding class. my bsf and i, with the two of them, became best friends for the rest of the year. we might have been four stupid cringy 12 year olds, but we were enjoying ourselves and having fun playing with each other on minecraft and just doing a bunch of raids as for 7th grade, i was just really shy and had really BAD social anxiety in the first half of the year. through my science classmates though, they really helped me get through the year. i was constantly scared because that year was like the prime of my mood swings, but they made me feel like i was at home. i met one dude who had just moved to the school, and now he’s one of my best friends. this year, 8th, also started out pretty rough. october and december were the worst months for me, mainly because of my bio teacher. she’s still a complete imbecile who’s slightly illiterate but everyone hates her lmao my period has a gc and like 1/3 of the time we just flame her looking back at just 8th grade, it just feels surreal seeing how you started and how you are currently. everything—my art, health, relationships—has just gotten better. i’m apprehensive about making new friends in high school, but if i was able to do it this year then i know i will be able to do it again in the future. in just about a month we’ll be off for summer and able to start working on service hours (and i have to complete 250… wish me luck), and we’ll officially be freshmen. only 4 more years until graduation
i just can’t believe how quickly the past 3 years have gone by. my time here has been a rollercoaster, and i know damn well im crying on the last day. i won’t see most of these people ever again, and my bsf is the only one coming with me to the hs we got accepted into (she just recently found out her mom actually had her go, for the past month we both thought she wasn’t going). glad i’m not going completely alone, i felt so relieved about it. she’s been my no. 1 since kindergarten and i consider myself incredibly lucky to have such a strong bond with her, and for this long. none of the past few years have been at all terrible, i had tons of fun—from playing minecraft to shenanigans in bio, i’m happy i’ve found people who impact me mostly positively. i’m sad to be parting ways with all but one of my friends, but yk you just have to cherish the moments you share with those you love. you wont be around them forever so its better to appreciate them while you have the chance :) thank you guys, no matter how long you’ve known me, i appreciate all the support on scratch the past couple of years. ty for sticking with me throughout middle school, i may become even less active next year, but just know that i’m happy to have met so many people here
