The first day of school is always exciting, at least for me anyway. You get to see what classes you have, catch up with some friends you haven't seen since June, and you know, rock those new pair of shoes you got last week. But out of all my "first days back to school", this year's was the weirdest. I had the typical first day picture that my mom goes crazy for and posts all over facebook, but when I got to school it was like "ugh, another day."

To me, school is a love-hate relationship. Some days I like being there and other days there are no limits on what I would do just to go home. In homeroom, my teacher was like "Here are the tons of papers you get every year and yeah, you know the drill." And the day was filled with the typical "You all are seniors, you know what to do" from every teacher, so, the first day was kinda "eh", like the spirit and excitement of the first day just died.

I've kept in touch with my friends that I really cared about over the summer. When I saw them on the first day of school I didn't turn into the giddy "OMG how have you been its been so long!" type of girl. I've either saw them at band camp or recently in some way, they graduated, or they moved away. I've just finished my first week as a senior and its weird without certain people there. I had two good friends move away this year, one moved to Georgia, and the other (who has been my "bffl" since 3rd grade) to Indiana. It's kinda like a weird hole in my life because I was so used to them being here. I do try to keep in touch with them, just because they're hundreds of miles away doesn't mean we forget about each other. 

In school, so far it's been "eh", but in life, Senioritis has been pretty great. The "senior year" pressure I think has lead me to become more organized and more interested in my paths ahead. I feel like I live more in the "now" than stressing on "what's next". I'm definitely looking forward to this year, especially since fall is soon! Football games, sweaters, and PSLs are the absolute best. (Call me a basic white girl because I'm fully aware of it.) Anyways, Senioritis is what you make of it, and it can be loads of fun if that's what you choose. (I know I am!)
