Although the days of sleeping late, beaching it all day, and staying up until 2 in the morning are over, going back to school does have its perks.

A Fresh Start

Aside from your transcript that follows you all the way to the end, a new year at school is a new beginning. That test you bombed last year because you binge-watched a whole season of Grey's Anatomy-- never again! This year, you can set goals for yourself and leave your silly mistakes in the past.

Reunion!

One of the best things about going back to school, in my opinion, is reuniting with everyone. There are those people I'll hang out with during the summer but some I only see during the school year in class or at lunch. I love rekindling friendships with people I haven't hung out with since freshman year or forming new bonds with classmates!

New Year, New Clothes

Maybe this is just me, but I cannot wait to strut into the halls of my high school wearing a new outfit. I save money in the summer so I can splurge on some new luxuries, like a new pair of comfy jeans or that big knit sweater for those fall football games.

Setting New Goals

Remember those goals you set last year, like making the honor roll or passing that AP Exam? You can say goodbye to those, because it's time to set new ones! You can set a few short term goals for a semester or even a month. You can also look at the whole year in retrospect and set some awesome long term goals while mapping out short term goals in between to achieve those!

Now that you have a fresh start, new clothes, and new goals you are ready to absolutely slay this year at school!
