Middle School Survival-First Edition

The Art of Riding the Bus:

1.Get to your locker AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!! To do this, you may have to:

Sprint out of your last period class right when the bell rings, avoiding all obstacles.

Run away from your last period teacher who is yelling at you to come back to class.

Get behind someone who will clear the path for you in the hallway.

If all else fails, RUN!!!

2. When at your locker, shove everything into your backpack, even that 50 pound algebra book.

3. Run as fast as possible to the nearest exit, who cares if you look like a dork?

4.When you’ve made it outside, go to where your bus usually is. If it isn’t there, good luck!

5. Get onto the bus. If people are in your way, you have many options:

Push through the crowd of grouchy teens

Throw whoever’s in your way out the window

Scream

6. If you find a seat:

You’re lucky

Push in, other people are coming

Close your eyes and think of a happy place.

7. If you don’t find a seat:

Ha-ha!

The isle is a very convenient spot to sit

If you’re too “good” for the isle, yank someone out of their seat and plop down.

Isn’t the bus fun?
