Because when you think about it, school really isn't all that bad.

Why I Like "Back To School" Season
John Bhatti

Whether were happy about it or not, it's back to school season. School has either already started or it is starting very soon. Although most people are not excited about school beginning I honestly am. I used to hate it when I was younger; from elementary to sophomore year of high school I hated back to school season. But towards the end of my high school career I started to enjoy back to school season. I liked getting new school clothes and planning outfits out, and I also loved the idea of a fresh start and a new beginning. I always felt motivated when the school year was beginning to push myself to work harder and do better than I did the previous year. I always feel inspired when the school year begins again too work harder and accomplish all my goals.

For me, when the school year starts, I refocus and begin working on achieving all my goals. I love the chance to do so whether those goals are doing very well in school or trying to be healthier and more fit. A new school year is a chance to reinvent yourself, whether it's reinventing the way you dress and your personal style. Or it could be reinventing the way you learn and study.

Every year before the school year starts I promise myself that I will do even better this semester. I always make sure to take better notes and try to find new ways to study. Over the years, I have found ways to make school easier and make life during the semester goes by as smooth as possible. One of the things I always do is make sure that I have all my outfits ready for the school week, that way I'm not scrambling in the morning to get ready. I get all five outfits ready for the week. Another thing I do is make sure I have all my stuff ready for the next day, the night before. My books, folders and water bottle all are ready in my book bag the night before.

I also love the fall which is the season that back to school time is associated with. I love fall clothing and hot chocolate, and my birthday is during the fall, so those are just more reasons why I like back to school season. I honestly don't dislike school. I love getting up every day and learning something new and seeing my friends and acquaintances.

I'm not going to lie, there are those days were I feel completely exhausted with school and work and life in general, but then I remember how lucky I am to have the opportunities I have and school to me is a blessing. I feel lucky every day that I am able to work towards my dreams and how lucky I am to live the life I am living. When I was younger I didn't like school, I would go and do well but I didn't really appreciate it the way I have the last few years. Without school and an education I wouldn't have the opportunities I have. Since I was a little kid, my dream has been to be a lawyer and without school it wouldn't be possible. School and an education are allowing me to live my dreams. It has also allowed me to have met the most amazing people and friends. If it were not for school, I wouldn't have the friends I have today. I made my closest friends in high school and college. I like school because it gives me a reason to get up every day and gives me something to do. School and my education give me a purpose everyday and help me achieve everything I want to do in life.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
