Surviving Sixth Grade and More

Surviving sixth grade is an ancient art practiced since the beginning of documented history. This ancient art is still used today and is used for junior and senior high school and even college. If you never mastered this art, then I have no idea why you clicked on this post. For everyone in school, here is how to survive sixth grade: 

Step 1: Find/ make friends. 

If you have no friends you will be conquered by sixth grade. When you are conquered by sixth grade you get into a bad middle school. When you get into a bad middle school, you drop out of high school. When you drop out of high school, you are unemployed. When you are unemployed, you suddenly hate yourself forever. Don’t suddenly hate you self forever. Switch to DirecTV. Oh, um, I meant get friends in school. You can eat lunch with them and gather new friends and they can be there to provide a shoulder to cry on (hopefully metaphorically) when you get a bad grade. Just think of any high school girl drama movie. The popular girls are never sad at school because they have loads of friends (they usually cry over guys). So get friends to be happy. 

Step 2: Get cool school supplies.

Do you see anyone who has fun with a slate and chalk? That’s what I thought. NO. If you want to have fun in any class, get pens with the Rilakkuma guys on them. But seriously, school is so much fun with fun supplies to keep you distracted from all the work you have to do. But what happens when you don’t have to time to do the assignment at home and it’s due next period? Well… 

Step 3: Procrastinate.

(This is the most important part of sixth grade. Everyone does it, even SpongeBob.) Let’s say you get too distracted by that duck drinking soup. What are you supposed to do with that assignment due next period? That depends. Let’s say you have to finish and English assignment and English is right after break. You might be able to finish it at break, but it would be so much easier to finish all the homework in the periods before lunch at home then later finish an assignment at lunch before a class. P.S., if you want a perfect score, ignore the duck. Your work will be horrible as an amateur. For those who want to take risks, remember to NEVER do work in front of teachers. They will see you as irresponsible. If you get caught doing their work, just say that you: 
 Didn't understand the assignment until you friend explained it to you this morning. 
 Had too much homework doing their other assignment (that was assigned yesterday). 
 It’s another teacher’s assignment that is due in the future (not today). 
 Are just making corrections (turn to page that is finished). 
 It’s better than procrastination after the class period (if you’re really witty). 

So, for those who are sly, just remember, a D or higher is better than a zero or unprepared slip. 

Step 4: Never take grades to seriously. 

People who cry repeatedly over an A-? I mean really? Some people can get a C+ on their quiz and have a cake saying “Congrats on your C+!!!” So just never take life too seriously, you’ll never live through the end of it. (Get it?) And grades are only to test your knowledge. They are to test yourself. If you really want to be smart, then go study and do not follow these instructions. These are only a guide to those with a D- as their highest grade. So never think that an assignment worth ten points will affect what college you get into. If you really think that, you should deserve those grades. 

Step 5: Find you passion. 

If you have a choice in doing you classes, take a lot of time to decide. DON’T PROCRASTINATE!!! Now I may look like I am going against my word, but procrastinating is not a thing you should do but what to do in case of an emergency. This you have time to decide. So don’t choose science over literature if you want to be a writer. Just first, find you passion then make your choices. If you have absolutely no idea what you want to be or where you want to go to school, just cover the basic things like math, science, literature, history, and something else you might want to try. So know what you want or chose a subject to help you find your passion.
