• 8/13-first day of school-(the school scoop part one)

  Welcome to PART ONE of the “School Scoop”(i just thought of a random name that sounded kinda cool), in this series of blogs I will mainly be writing about school, and tracking my journey through it, depending on how this goes I may continue this chain of blogs until the 12th grade, so, if you want , follow along every Wednesday, and starting from next Wednesday posts will come at 8am!

  A lot of things become less of a deal every year, for example your birthday, but more significantly the first day of school. There are usually two types of people: people who never want summer to end, and people who despise school, OR people who just want to get back to school. I have never really seen anyone in the middle, just two very drastic sides. I personally, have almost always been the second option, if you have seen a previous post of mine called “boredom”, around a month ago, you would know that I tend to get very bored in summer, so in terms of the first day of school, it is very binary either a high or a low.

  One thing about going back to school as a 7th grader, is that it feels just wrong. To be more precise it feels wrong to see 300 6th graders pop into middle school, looking so lost, knowing that was me just a year ago. When you are so used to being the lowest and youngest grade, the moment you step up it feels so different. 7th grade is also like the middle child affect, you don’t get the just-out-of elementary freedom as a 6th grader, but you also don’t get the feel to be off to high school next year, so I guess 7th grade is unique like that. Anyways see you in the next one, and as always, thanks for reading!

• 7/17/25-repeatable things

  Everyone has that one thing. The most basic, yet oddly fun stress reliever. Something that is so random, something that everyone else would question. Something that just passes time. For me this happens to be throwing a foam ball off walls. Yes, I know, throwing something off of something seems like the most boring thing in the world but it’s just fun for me. My dad listens to a lot of podcasts and sometimes when I listen to a bit of them, a huge theme in many is that repeatable things result in repeatable outcomes, like if something is working, why change it? For me I do this throwing thing almost any time I have nothing to do, it just fills up the boredom, or “nothingness” and is something so mindless I can think of something completely different while doing this. To illustrate to you how much I do this, let me give you the exact details. It’s summer break for me, and it can’t be everyday that you meet a friend, or have a class, meaning much of the day is doing assignments and courses, You obviously can’t do this all the time(at least if you want to keep your brain from frying), so I have adequate breaks. During these breaks I read or throw my ball around. The total time I throw around is probably around an hour a day if not more. The walls in my room literally have black marks in the shape of circles from how much I throw. It’s just so easy, so oddly satisfying, and I’m sure that you have something like this, or you just haven’t discovered it yet. So next time you are bored think about what is something basic that makes you happy. 🙂

  Question: Do you have one of these “repeatable things” if so what is it? Comment your answer down below!
