Fashion is a big thing in middle school. We are all trying out new styles and deciding who were going to be. Some people are trendsetters (like me) and what we wear everyone else is wearing the next week, but my that time its over and we are wearing new fashions. The way to stay on top of fashion is to never let them catch up.
Anyway, I was informed today that my school got a dresscode. I'm so like freakin upset right now it's just not even funny. I actually started crying. It was not pretty. Who does my school think they are?! Any way here are the general rules:
-shorts and skirts must touch the knee (ikr?! crazy!)
- no cleavage (ugh!)
-no leggings, jeggings, or skinny jeans becuase they "atrract attention to certain areas" (oh puh leez!, watevs, skinnies are out for 2011 anyway)
-clothing cannot have hoods (um wow this limits me for no good reason.)
-no high heels (this one was devistating!)
- no tank tops (ggggrr!)
So there you have it. There's more, but I listed the worst. Are these people trying to make my life difficult. I'm happy in some (very small) ways though. First, I have a chance to prove to people that I have the skills to look good even in these desparate times. Second, most kids are going to wear sweatpants or jeans everyday now so I'll look twice as good.
You're always going to have to overcome something. It's not easy being likeable. But you just have to push through and pray that you will come out on top. (it usually happens for me )

Going Back to School
I get it. Some of you are excited and happy to see your friends and learn lots of great stuff. Others are upset to be leaving the freedom and sunshine of summer. I'm not either. I'm not happy about going back to school. I'm not a bad student. In fact, I'm an honors student. I do great in school. That doesn't mean I like it. But, in order to make people envy you a key is to always make it seem like your life is perfect and you have no problems. Put on that fake smile and work it!
Here are my 5 tips on how to have a great school year and get more friends and put yourself higher in the social scene.
1. Look good. Looks aren't everything but they do matter. Don't let anyone tell you differently. You will feel better and more confident if you look your best.
2. Sleep. You will be more awake, alert, alive, and enthusiastic. People like it when you are happy to be alive.
3. Talk to everyone. From the geeks, to the artists, to the jocks, talk to everyone. The whole point is to make people like you. Never ever ever be mean to ANYBODY. It's just wrong in general and people will hate you.
4. Get good grades. In the movies, people at the top of the social food chain are dumb. Not in real life. People will also envy your good grades.
5. Be yourself and be different. It's better to take a risk and look different than to play it safe and go unnoticed.

Hello everybody and welcome to my first ever blog. Let me start by introducing myself. My name is Jenna and I am 13 years old. I'm in 8th grade and I basically rule my school. I have lots of friends, host the biggest parties, wear the designer cloths, was born with the most talent, and dates the nicest guys. I'm a very dedicated dancer. I plan on attending a performing arts high school next year to major in dance and I hope to go to college for dance pedogogy (thats basically teaching dance) and open a studio in florida and eventually have an award winning competition company.
I've always been a dreamer and a wisher. I always had my eye on the prize. My mom has a video of me in my first dance recital (11 years ago) whering a tee shirt that says 'When I grow up I want to be a ballerina'. Okay, so maybe the dream has changed a little since then but the same idea is there. And I've never wanted to do anything else for even one minuete. I never saw a reason to either. It's competitive, but I'm confident enough, if nothing else.
I'm not here to talk about dance though. I'll be going to a new high school next year and leaving my middle school kingdom. It's hard for me to do knowing I've worked so hard to become the queen there. But I'm ready to do what I have to, and honestly, I've grown quite sick of the place. I want to give advice to all of those mostly 5th-7th graders who will be ruling their schools soon.
Thanks for reading and check back soon because I'll be posting lots. Thanks, Jen with a Heart.
