Life on an 8th Grade Bus



Obnoxious. Crazy. Fun. Bothersome. Snapchat. Long. Loud. Cool. Energetic. Exciting. Hectic. Relaxing. Squad. Smelly. Strange. Anti-social. Educational. Chill. Monotonous. Bumpy. Exciting. Wild. Chaotic. Scary. 

These are the words students participating in the trip have used to describe the bus rides we have been taking to get from destination to destination. Clearly, students have mixed reactions towards the recurring bus rides. Some students enjoy them, while others are unamused when it comes to commuting between places. 

What exactly does happen in the bus? Honestly, phones have been the number one way to pass the time. Whether it's using Snapchat, Instagram, playing a game, texting, or listening to music, kids are constantly on their phones. Otherwise, students have been passing the time on the bus by munching on candy or talking with their friends. 

In the end, no matter how students felt, the buses are a key part to our trip. Already, I have walked about 16,300 steps on Wednesday, 21,800 yesterday, and, so far, 15,838 today. If we had needed to take too many more steps than that in order to avoid the buses, it would have been impossible for our group to get as much done as we did.
