Dear World,
It is almost August and we have already started seeing the shelves in stores changing from summer stuff to pencils, pens, note pads, etc. In my opinion, this is the best time of the year. Nothing could make me happier than buying school supplies. And the sad thing is, this is my last year to do so. Until I choose to go to grad school and such. I will be honest with ya'll, I am still going to binge on school supplies, but once I graduate the term will become work supplies... See what I did there?
I do not even really know where my love for school supplies came from. I think because my mom is a teacher and every year we always went to see what all she could get for her class. I just established this love for it because she was always excited so I think psychologically my brain went "IT'S AUGUST, IT IS TIME TO GET PUUUUUMMPED!" But really though school supplies is like the nerd version of fashion week except it lasts for like two months, but it continues as two months of extreme happiness and greatness. The notebooks and pencils and binders will all change and so will I thanks to them because don't forget kids, taking notes is important; no matter how tired you are. Remember to write notes like you're writing them for someone who is not there.
Here we go. You guys get to see into the depth of my soul and get to decided if you guys still want to read any articles after this!
1. Putting everything together for the year is just perfect.
2. When it makes you super excited for school to start so you preemptively start going through your stuff so that you can feel on top of it.
3. Going through you notebook/binder/backpack a million times before school starts because there is just too much excitement to just let it sit there.
4. The initial shock that school supplies are out.
5. Even though you are excited not everyone else is as excited so they have this grumpy look of annoyance on their face.
6. Trying to decided the right notebook for the year is as hard as Christmas shopping for your great aunt who is twice removed.
7. When you have already bought everything for school and now it is just getting ridiculous so you start to limit yourself.
8. Finally, when you cannot sleep because it is the night before and you are way too excited.
There you go. I hope you are all as excited I am for this upcoming school year because it sure is going to be a good one... I can feel it!
Sincerely,
Your School Loving Friend
