By the time I was in the seventh grade, COVID was behind us, and as a society, we could be “normal” again. That year, I had to get used to middle school and the way it actually ran, as well as the extracurriculars that came with it.

“There's nothing to do at home” is a phrase I’ve told my parents for years. Meaning I have nothing to do at home, and being outside would be much better. When I was younger, I would be bored being at home.
