Back to school used to be such a potent combination of exciting and dreadful. Summer was over, and you had to say goodbye to your endless free time and camp friends, but the thought of finding out who was in your class, cracking open a new pack of pens, and picking out your first day of school outfit sent a shiver of delight down your spine. The leaves started to change and you were ready for the year ahead, full of promise and anticipation
Now, back to school just means that you're still at your same job and nothing has really changed. But we can force a little back-to-school energy if we need to. We can buy a new pack of pens, pick out a special outfit, and maybe teach ourselves something. Or we can scroll through these memes that remind us of when we were kids, and remember the good, bad, and the ugly of it.
