Let's face facts. School is right around the corner. There's no way to avoid it, there never has been and never will be a way to avoid it (until you graduate, but for many it doesn't stop there). The horror of attending classes and having school work to do is nearing, and that means that all the fun of summer is coming to an end. Just think...
Wait a second. This isn't high school anymore. Going back to school isn't a bad thing. Summer isn't as fun as it used to be. We work jobs now. Not the fun kind either. The boring, intern-y type jobs that we have to work to get experience on our resumes, those are what we do. So maybe going back to school isn't such a bad thing after all. Well, here are 6 reasons that going back to school is actually pretty good.

1. Friends
If you're like me, you really needed to get to college and get some new friends. And if you're like me, you really miss those friends when you leave school for the summer (Looking at you, Dan and Ben). When you go back to school, you get to see them and have them back in your life, which is pretty exciting stuff.
2. Freedom
Being chained up in a cubicle all day takes a toll on the mind. It's almost like prison, if you think about it. Being back at school really gives you some free time during the day to do activities between classes that you couldn't do at home because you had to organize one-thousand spreadsheets at work.
3. Variation
Branching off of the Freedom point, being at school means that you get plenty of variation during the day. Despite having class again, you'll get to do everything else that you like doing at school like playing frisbee or whatever it is nonathletes do at college (I wouldn't know, athletics owns my life lol)
4. Class
Yeah, I said it. Class. Yes we all hate our classes sometimes, but occasionally you'll actually really enjoy a class or a professor and it'll be a good way to enjoy your time at school. Unless that class is circuits. Circuits is awful.
5. Sports
Whether you're on a team or not, having lots of sports on TV and on campus to go watch is a pretty nice luxury to have. That way, you have something to see other than baseball like you've been forced into for the past 2 months. (Not knocking baseball, I wrote an article about it in May) If you're on a team, you get to hang out with your teammates and joke around about how much of your life that sport is consuming.
6. Parties
No, I didn't forget. I just put it last on the list because you knew it had to be on here but were probably thinking I forgot. I don't really have to explain this one do I?
When you get back to school, you'll be glad you're there during the day instead of at a desk. I can guarantee that.
