Lib's opinion: JR high

Junior High School. Something that you either dread or extremely look forward to. It's the time where you leave your comfy little cottage of elementary school and head off to join the "big guys" in the new home of JR high. As a 6th grader in the month of middle-May, my parents and classmates have been bugging me about my opinion of leaving and going to JR high. And let me tell you my true opinion:

I have no opinion.

While I'm going to miss all of my former teachers that have been with me since day 1, I'm also excited about the new adventures that await me in JR high. While I'm going to make new friends from other elementary schools, the memories that I have made with my home school family can never be compared to. And while I (sort of) like the reputation I have at elementary school, JR high might be the chance that I've been looking for to start over. I honestly have no idea of how I feel. Completely honest.

There are three categories that 6th graders in elementary school feel in the months before they go to JR high school:

The nervies: These are the people who are either nervous or not willing to go to JR high. They usually have lots of good friends at school, along with many good memories that they don't want to leave behind. Also probably a teacher's pet

The happy campers: The people who can't wait for graduation to come and the elementary school part of their life to be over. Usually don't have many close friends, either edgy and want to get away from so many children younger than they are, or just a person with a bad rep that wants a second chance, the one who is probably going to cross the border of school families and befriend another group.

Anyways, sorry for the short post, kind of tired today. Tomorrow's topic will be about Fortnite, so stay tuned if you want to listen to that

Lib’s opinion: Sports

Ah, sports. Extracirricular activities galore these days. Basketball, baseball, football, soccer, hockey, too many to count. While I won’t name the exact one (starts with an S, ends with an R, with a “occe” in the middle. Not the exact one if you think about it!), some are definately better than others in my opinion. Today we’re talking about sports, and my opinions on them. Hence the name of this post.

Basketball

Basketball is a great sport overall. Going from one side of the court to the other, seeing which team will prevail in a who-has-the-most-points game. I have a little experience in this sport, being on my school’s basketball team. But just because I made the team doesn’t mean I was any good when it came to the real thing. I practiced for weeks perfecting my jump shot and sharpening my defense, but I would always choke up when the real thing came. None of my points were made from more than 2 feet away from the hoop, and probably more than 20 points past my terrible defense. The basketball team in JR High school next year probably isn’t such a good idea for me.

Baseball

A great game to watch. The crack of the ball on the bat is such a great sound, and the suspense of the game is just thrilling. My dad is a huge baseball nut, yelling ad cussing when our home team scored, and a really big grouch when they lost. One of my best friends, Saltine (inside joke, don’t want to put his name on the internet without his permission), is probably the best baseball player under 13 years old. He is on a little league team AND a travel ball team, which fills his schedule so much that it’s annoying. The one game that I went to was the day I realized how good he was. The mechanics, his knowledge of the game, and his overall willingness and competitive spirit helped his team out a lot. While I was extremely mad at his coach for pulling him as pitcher when his team was losing (and replaced him with a guy who is totally trash, BTW), I clearly knew that he was super pissed off that his coach did that. Great sport, come to Fremont to see Saltine on the Orioles play a game.

Football

For a small innocent mind like me...FOOTBALL IS THE MOST CONFUSING THING IN THE WORLD!!!  While I understand that the oval ball has to get from one end to the other, and the whole thing’s like a big game of capture the flag, the unnecessary rules and the random calls make it was more confusing than it needs to be. The only thing I do at Super Bowl parties is eat the snacks, while hiding in my room playing video games. Sue me. 

Soccer

Soccer is complete trash, speaking of men’s soccer. Kick the ball into the other net without the other team doing that more than you. So many possibilities! While women’s soccer does a perfect representation of what soccer can be made into (go watch women’s soccer on YouTube, then men’s. You will be pleasantly suprised), men’s soccer is a whole other story. Men just kick the ball, do unnecessary tricks that always backfire, and, the most annoying thing, pretend to be hurt. Ugh! 

 Hockey

Easily my favorite sport to watch. Beat the small rubber puck into the other team’s net with a wooden stick, while on skates in an ice rink. Basically soccer on ice, but it easily puts the fun in it. There are much lighter rules, tougher players, and the refs miss every. single. call. I was once looking up hockey memes on Pinterest (because I have no life), and it was about the different punishments of punching a person in the face in several sports. While I can’t recite all from memory, they were all in a 5-20 game suspension range. Hockey was on the very bottom of the picture. This is because, in hockey, the punishment for throwing your gloves on the ground and throwing punches...IS ONLY A 5  MINUTE PENALTY!!! HOCKEY IS AWESOME!!!

Sorry for the length of this post, I just got very into it. But I have people to worry about, and I’m not sure if I have homework. Yikes. Tune in for tomorrow’s post, which will probably be my opinion on Fortnite, but it might change. In a while, crocodiles! Nope, still need a better outtro. Anywho, bye!

Lib’s Pilot Post

Okay, I’m new at this, so please don’t judge the ugliness of my page. I literally have no idea what I’m doing. 

Okay, so I guess this is it. My very first blog post. It could be the start of a wonderful blogging career, and maybe I’ll make a ton of money out of it. I could own a mansion, buy a huge plot of land, and get a giant pool, just off of my earnings from a blog. 

Or none of that could happen and I’ll remain a nobody the rest of my life. Two options, one obviously better than the other. 

Anywho, one of my best friends showed me her blog and convinced me to make one too (art-alerts.blogspot.com is her blog, she posts about art and art tips. Wonderful advice for people like me who are very bad at art. A great idea to go check her out!). I guess this blog will basically be about my life as a growing child, things I like, don’t like, my daily experiences and odd encounters, basically my whole life story. I personally don’t think that this is a waste of time, even if I don’t have a single fan. For me, it’s about getting out there in some kind of way. I want to be known for something in my life, and this blog might be a good start. Who knows? Only time will tell. 

I will try to post once every day, but I apologize if I can’t make it sometimes. Being a sixth grader is not always a piece of cake. You totally don’t have to look at this if you don’t want to, I just made this for my own benefit. That’s all folks, adios! 

P. S: I’ll try to come up with a better outtro soon!

P. P. S: Sorry if this blog looks bland, I am writing this on my phone and I have no idea how to customize it. I’ll try to make it look nice tomorrow.
