5 Reasons To Get Excited for School Starting

Hello everyone!

School keeps inching closer and closer and may have even started for some of you, so I wanted to write something that would showcase the bright side of summertime coming to an end. Even though you may not be thrilled to return to long days of classes and homework, there’s a lot to look forward to at the beginning of a new school year. I have five major reasons to get yourself excited for school that I’m going to share with you today- if you’re interested in finding out, keep reading!

School events (rallies, football games) – I know these events aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, but I feel like when it’s the very beginning of the year almost everyone is willing to go and get involved. Football season is SO fun with all the theme days and meeting up with your friends at the games and walking places to get food after; those were some of my favorite memories from last year.
Seeing your friends and catching up with everyone – Even if you hung out with your close friends a lot over summer, I’m sure you all have some of those friends you mainly talked to in classes (but don’t hang out with outside of school) and missed them. Anyone who you didn’t see over summer or anyone who was on vacation and unavailable is now back and you’re all together again!
Activities starting back up (sports, clubs) – Most school activities aren’t very active over summer with the exception of some sports (I know for a fact cheer had practice a lot because I’m a cheerleader, but football, swim, and basketball did as well), so it’s nice to reunite with your teams/clubs and get back into your involvement. The first meetings and games are always exciting, and you might find yourself joining some new activities as well.
Having a fresh start for a new year – This could relate to grades, friends, or anything honestly. A new year brings new people, new opportunities, and a new set of circumstances into your life. You’re probably a lot more grown up than you were during the beginning of last school year, so use your knowledge of last year to make this year the best ever.
Getting new clothes and school supplies – I think we can all agree this is one of the best parts of back-to-school. Picking out first-day outfits and organizing all your crisp new supplies is exciting and actually makes you look forward to going. There’s also tons of fun back-to-school content on YouTube and other social media, which I know I always enjoy watching.

I hope this list gave you guys a more positive perspective on the school year beginning. You only get so many years in high school (or middle school if that’s where you are), so make sure to enjoy them! It’s crazy to me to think that after this year, I only have two more years of high school, two more high school summers, etc. Make the most of everything that comes your way. 🙂 Let me know if you have any requests as always- I’m constantly writing new posts.
