There's something that is just so "quinessential junior high school experience" about going to a football game. Squashed between two people in the stands, listening to the cheerleaders telling the team to "BE AGRESSIVE," spilling crunchy Cheetos all over your lap, and wearing your school's colors are all part of the fun. This wasn't just any football game, though. This was The Night Game. The only game that would be played at night for all of junior high football season.
After lots of screaming and a little confusion, our school's varsity football team...lost. It was kinda unfortunate, but the game was so much fun to attend, no one really seemed to care. Well, except for the really loud guys a couple rows in the bleachers behind my super good friend, my mom and I that were actually rooting for the other team!!
The nest day, everyone was commenting on it. We even took a little bit of time in my first period class to "get it out of our systems" and talk about it before we moved on to more educational things such as MLA citations, the proper way to write an introduction, the importance of a flash drive, and essay prompts.
I am loving junior high. For all of you sixth graders out there and it's your last year at the elementary school, you have so much to look forward to! It is not at all scary. Sure, there are parts that aren't exactly your thing, but there is tons more there that is. I still have so much to learn, and to look forward to as a seventh grader. I have already met a lot of new people, and had some absolutely hilarious moments. It's fab. :)
