September. End of summer holidays. Shorter days, longer nights. Back to school.
Yes here in the UK, September marks the start of school, yay(!) During my comfort under the shy British sun, i've been dreading this day to come but surprisingly, as the month drew to an end, I was growing in excitement. Maybe this was because I basically have no social life beyond the internet world so I became bored or maybe I was excited for the early mornings and tiresome days! Nevertheless I didn't want to shoo-away my enthusiasm.
Tuesday the 2nd:-
Kindly woken up nice and early by One Direction's 'Same mistakes' from my cousin's alarm, I dragged myself from the comfort of my cosy cocoon and got up as I knew it would do no good lazing around until after noon, like the rest of my holiday.Yet again I just did pointless things for the sake of it as I had no aim and no 'to-dos' for today. It was around 4pm when I discovered the published timetable of mine online and this made me pumped for school as I was actually excited about having new classmates, teachers and environment! Nevertheless, I was definitely sad when I found out I didn't have any lessons with some of my closest friends..
Wednesday the 3rd:-
1st day of school; new start to my school life. I always love the start of a school year for the reason that you get a chance to be a different person as your teachers don't know you yet. [Note to self: I want to work on being more confident and active in my learning :) ] Although I am starting year 10, the scary thing that I still face every year is writing your name on the cover of that lovely new book and just praying that you won't mess it up as you drag your shaking hands slowly against the line. But anyway, my first big laugh was when I went into my science lesson with a friend but thought I went into the wrong lesson so I turned to go out again, only to walk straight back in as I was actually in the right lesson.. silly me! Let's hope i'll get better at this timetable reading business. Apart from that tiny mishap, I absolutely enjoyed today as I was reunited with all my lovely friends and life felt normal again as I actually had things to do, waheyyy!
No matter who you are and how old you are, i'm certain you've complained about school and I have never heard of someone who has hasn't, and this totally applies to me too. But I just want to express my thoughts about this on a deeper level, as i've had a few thoughts about this during my summer, about how lucky I actually am to go to school. Like many, I have been told by lots of people to cherish my school days because it really is a fantastic place and appears to be over in a flash. And though, like in most countries, it is under compulsion to be in education until 18, the school environment can be a fantastic place to make lifelong friends and be offered overwhelming experiences and what's more, 18 years is a fair proportion of your life so the more you take pride in it, the more bright memories you'll recollect when you're older :) Yes you may think "who are you to say all this from a 14 year old's point of view?" but I think true happiness and positivity from school is beginning to unveil within me and I just feel so lucky to be able to go to school. With this mindset, i've also found that I feel so much happier at school :D
So when you're ever depressed about school, just remember how lucky you are and as much as it is cliché, it is 100% true.
