My Weird World

Hey guys So in England, high school starts when you are 11 years old. Making the transition between first/junior/primary school can be hard for many people. So in this blog I will be sharing some tips and advice for those of you who are starting high school. AHHH...I'M LOST! Most high schools are quite big which can be intimidating especially on the first week. But there is no need to be nervous. At the start of the year you will get a schedule ( BONUS TIP : Make plenty of copies of this so you won't be stuck if one gets lost) and most of the time they have the room numbers on them. My school has signs on the walls so on the first week of year seven I just followed them. However, I definitely could not tell you the room numbers of my classes now because I just memorised the route to each room. In the first couple of weeks, make sure you walk around with a friend or two so if you do get lost you are not alone. YOU'RE LATE! In the first week or so of joining the scho...

Hey guys! So as school is ever approaching and some people have even gone back to school, I have decided to do a rather cliché blog post: School Essentials. Let's go! Stationary School Bag  This is pretty much compulsory. Make sure you pick one that is big enough but not so big that all your stuff is going to get lost in there. I think rucksacks are the best for school. Try going onto Pinterest or YouTube to find some fun ideas of ow to spice up a plain school bag! Planner  In my opinion, a planner is essential. I would highly suggest going out and buying a planner (my school gives us one for free). Make it as colourful as you want. Notebooks In most schools in the UK, books are provided for us to right in. However, I still bing in a small A5 notebook for scribbling down notes and such like. Just make sure you bring them. A pencil case including: Pens (black and blue) Pencils Ruler Rubber Pencil Shapener Highlighters Sticky notes I love using sticky no...

Hey guys So on Friday (August 14th), I got my braces taken off. I thought this would be a good opportunity to tell you about my experience with braces. When I first got my braces a year and a half ago, I was really scared. All of my friends who had braces were saying that it hurt so much so, understandably, I was nervous when I walked into the orthodontist. When I got there, they took some pictures of my teeth using a mouth stretcher thing. Getting my braces put on hurt. First, she brushed my teeth and then stuck a tube in my mouth that was blowing air into my mouth (I have no idea what this was meant to do). She put a special glue on my teeth then one by one added a bracket to each tooth. I know this is pretty obvious but it tasted metallic. She then asked me what colour I wanted (I got red). After using something that looked like a light machine to set the brackets, she started the wires. The only way I could describe this is a lot of tugging and twisting. This hurt the...
