School is Almost Here...



There is one week of summer left! Oh how quickly summer escaped my grasp...  I can't decide if I'm ready for it to be school, or if I wish that summer would continue. I mean both summer and school have their pros and cons.

Pros of School:

  • More exciting social life (at least for one who hasn't got a car). You get to see your friends everyday.
  • A sense of purpose? (naaahhhh)
  • Lunchtime (who doesn't love lunchtime at school? It's the best!)
  • Your favorite class (English!) 
  • Flirting with that guy. (Come on, you ALL know who I'm talking about!) 
  • Homecoming
  • Buying brand new school supplies. (It's my favorite part of the new year, I love the crisp pages of a brand new notebook, the fresh erasers, perfectly working pens, new folders...)
  • The best back to school outfit yet! 
  • New clothes!!
  • A pretty new bag to hold all your stuff!
  • A clean slate! 

Pros of Summer:
  • Summer camp!
  • Summer romance
  • Warm weather
  • Great tan!
  • Hang with friends anytime you want
  • Sleeping in
  • Staying up late
  • S'mores
  • Campfires
  • Swimming in the pool
  • Vacations to far away places
  • Time
  • Bikini bod
  • Cutest swimsuit
  • short shorts, tank tops, and flip flops
And the list goes on! Just like with everything, summer and school do have their cons... 

Cons of School:
  • Those girls. You know, the ones that think they own the world. 
  • Bad teachers
  • Homework and projects
  • Waking up early in the morning
  • Annoying unattractive guys that tease you, but you know they like you. Ew... 
  • Math class.
  • PE
I have to say, I thought my list was going to be much longer than that, but I actually kind of like school... The worst thing for me i think is either Math class or those girls. 

Cons of Summer:
  • Unbearable heat
  • Being stuck in the house because you don't have a car to get you places when your parents are gone. 
And that my friends are the only cons I could think of about summer. Summer truly is an amazing three months that doesn't ever seem to be long enough. Then again, some of my favorite times happen during the school year (Christmas and New Years anyone? Not to mention my birthday!) I also do love the fashion that comes with fall and winter as well. The thought of being cozily bundled up in a jacket and boots is a very gratifying feeling... for me at least. My favorite part is sitting by my fireplace with a good book feeling the heat on my back. 

Alas, I must admit that I've got bittersweet feelings about the end of summer. I had such an unforgettable summer and I don't want any of the memories to get pushed aside by math formulas and history lessons, but I'm sure they probably will. Soon enough this summer will just be words written on a page and memories in the back of my mind. But right now, it's real. And right now, I'm holding on to that for as long as I can.
