In this episode of Brain Rotisserie, we dive headfirst into the chaotic, cringy, and strangely formative world of middle school. From awkward orientation games to the dreaded mile run in P.E., early elective choices, and our first brushes with music class and Japanese anime Fridays, it’s a whirlwind of growth, confusion, and discovery. We’ll talk about reading logs, Teenbiz battles, and the joy (or trauma) of changing in locker rooms. Plus—why were the bathrooms always such a thing?
