For someone who has both rode the bus home and to school, and has driven to school from home has to know that the bus ride doesn’t even compare to driving yourself. These are a few ways to survive that dreaded bus ride.  One way is to bring some music for yourself or even a friend to listen to. So you can block out all the other unwanted noises that lurk throughout the bus. A second way is to try to find a friend you can share your hatred with about the bus so you don’t feel so alone the whole 10 minutes you’re on there. A third way is to sit in the back or even the front of the bus to avoid being in the middle of everything just in case another student tries to be smart and start throwing items at other students in your general area. A fourth way to survive the school bus is to try to keep focused on the goal of getting to your house, and the minutes will seem to just slip by.
