With finals season over and the sense of summer in the air, we're all probably relieved that we no longer have to suffer under pounds of homework and boundless stress. (Excluding summer assignments. I know. We can never catch a break). But, with that said, I am genuinely going to miss school, certain aspects of it anyways. Here are ten of those things. Which ones will you miss?

1. Meeting people without having to put in the effort.

I mean, it's true. During the summer, if we want to hang out with anyone, that requires planning. School, they're all right in front of you.

2. My teachers.

Okay, they're a pain sometimes, and the homework isn't exactly the most relaxing stuff to do, but to not see them? That's weird.

3. The learning.

Some of the subjects on my schedule I won't take again until college. I mean, it was a pain in the a** learning about the steps of photosynthesis (incredibly useful in real life, I know), but now that it's over, I miss it.

4. The overpriced vending machines.

Those things did prey on my teenage, ravenous hunger and render me broke at the end of every week, but come on. Where else am I going to get a constant supply of junk food?

5. The people.

Yes, yes, I know. How awfully cliche of me. But still. As much as my friends (and others), might annoy me, I'll miss them.

6. The youth.

I'm not saying that I'm about to retire or anything, but the faster I go through high school, the closer I am to college and all things adulthood. The future, in all of its uncertainty, is profoundly confounding.

7. The jokes.

That one is kind of self-explanatory. Some jokes you can only tell (and actually get a genuine reaction), in a school environment.

8. The homework.

Lol, I'm just messing with you. That is not something I'll ever miss.

Well school, we've had our ups and downs. But I can honestly say, from the bottom of my emo, teenage heart, that I'll miss you.
