school bags for 8th grade girls
image
I'm going into 8th grade and I really want to Get everytig straight. So reply to my question . Best answer 10 Points .
Answer Okay well first the supplies. In my opinion, it's not very different from elementary school, but here you go:
-pens (black & blue, some teachers prefer a specific colour)
-coloured pen (red or green or something like that)
-pencils
-erasers
-ruler
-SCIENTIFIC calculator (a cheap one will do, you don't need to go crazy with the $100 ones)
-lined paper (A LOT)
-highlighters (more than one)
-individual binders (whichever size you prefer, at least 1 inch)
-notebooks (if you want, instead of taking notes on lined paper, but a binder and paper will do)
-math tools (protractor, compass, whatever else you get in those kits)
-graph paper (would be very helpful, not completely necessary)
-colouring pencils
-markers (could be helpful)
-DIVIDERS
-white out (if you want, i make a lot of mistakes and hate writing with anything other than black pens so.. )
-a lock for your locker
-agenda or planner if your district doesn't give you one
don't worry about it too much though. buy only what you KNOW you'll need, like paper and binders, pens and pencils, and your teachers will tell you specifically what else you'll need. though that should about sum it up.
now, it depends what electives you're taking. I've always done art and computer/technology classes, so i'm not sure what you need for drama/
music/vocals/dance and that kind of thing.
if you take art, you'll need:
-a sketchbook
-blank paper
-sketching pencils
-erasers
-colouring pencils
-ruler
-a notebook (to take notes for the theory part)
-glue
-scissors
and you may need stuff for your own special projects later on, and I found that sometimes a calculator was helpful. I also painted things at home and such, so if you want supplies at home to do work, sometimes you can take things from school back home, but if you want your own, well, it's just an idea.
for gym, if you don't have a uniform, then shorts, shirt, running shoes, hair elastic (if you're a girl), deodorant, a bag to put it all in, and if you're change rooms have lockers, then another lock for your gym locker. if you do have a uniform, then take everything but the shorts and shirt, and take money just in case you can buy it on the first day, which you might be able to. but a must, is always have hair elastics and an extra pair of socks in your gym bag, it's very helpful. :)
I don't know about your school's rules, but at my school, it's common to find kids with ipod touches, laptops, and smart phones. they're welcomed into the classrooms, and they're very useful to search something real quick, view things on your course website, access your school's email system, that kind of thing. plus it's fun. i took in either my laptop or ipod touch every day and found it very helpful. plus i could play games, and the teacher wouldn't even know. :)
as for things to wear, you know, i wouldn't worry too much. everyone has their own unique personality and style. there really are goths, and there really are jocks, and there really are nerds. so really, you can't stick out in high school, trust me.
but some things to have because they're always helpful:
-jeans
-tank tops
-basic sweaters
-skirts
girls mostly wear, well, whatever is in fashion really. i'm like you. i wear cute skirts from h&m, forever 21, and anywhere else where i simply like it. and most likely a tank top or some kind of similar top. i don't own ANYTHING hollister, and no one cares. i own quite a bit of ae, and it's helpful because ae always has stuff that you can't really go wrong with.
i saw a lot of girls with uggs, dresses and skirts (flower patterns were popular), leggings, skinny jeans, those cropped tops sort of things where you can see girl's stomachs ahahah (whatever they're called), and just t-shirts and tank tops. really, i pretty much saw everything. just go to the mall and look at whatever's at the front of the store or in the windows and you can't go wrong :P you definitely won't stand out. everyone is different. and no one even cares about what you wear (unless you wear something that is obviously NOT fashionable). If you want, stay plain for a week or two, or just wear something you KNOW is in, and see what other girls are wearing and copy it, if it makes you more comfortable. :)
good luck! you'll be fine! :D
Best way to start of school tips?
rachel.
Can you give me some tips on how to prepare for the first day of school?
I'm in 8th grade if you really want to know.
Answer
i mite be a lil 6th grade scrub (thats wut they call 6th graders at my school) :P but believe me, there are tons of people who look up to the gods of 8th grade.
1) get a stylish, looking backpack. Nobody wants to be seen...or be seen with someone who has an ugly, old, big, bag overload, backpack. A nice black jansport would be nice. Try a zebra print cover, 4 8th graders at my school have one..and EVERYONE knows them. Or, you could carry an ordinary solid color bookback. made out of jean/fabric. Add pins and patches to make it look cute :)
2) If you dont have to wear uniform...DONT WEAR IT!. But if yew do, make sure ur shirt fits a lil tight (to show off ur goods) wear a navy blue shirt on top, and a white shirt on the bottom, and let it show a lil bit at the bottom, and maybe a bit at the neck line. If yew dont gotta wear uniform, wear pink/blue/black skinny jeans. any skinny jean will do, but those colors are perferable. Wear a cute T. like http://www.tillys.com/tillys/Categories.aspx?cid=1061&ctlg=020_Girls
or a flannel with ordinary skinny jeans. flats, vans, or converse make a nice fit :)
3) STYLE UP UR HAIR!!! curly, wavy, sraight, layered, long, choose the best for you!
4) SCHOOL SUPPLIES! u need school supplies. no one wants to be stuck possibly asking a stranger for supplies. get cute pencils, binders that show off you style, cute erasers, etc.
5) ACCESORIES!!! braceletes, necklaces, trendy watched, brooches, or cute lil bows for u hair mite work ;)
oh and one more thing....BE NICE!!
trust me, the little ppl such as me hate it when 8th graders think theyre all that. act nice around ppl, dont be a hore, dont walk around laughing like ur crazy or to get attention, and dont call 6th graders names. seriosuly, we already have a plan to get back at sum so called 8th grader, lol
hope i helped :)
