I am not sure if this is a rec.
School is so wonderful for so many reasons. I like the books, and the learning and the people.
Part of me hates it, though. I think with learning, I am also learning how to grow as a person—growing away from who I used to be. I feel like I can't go back, and that is so scary.
At the same time, it is the most relieving feeling in the whole world.
I suppose it comes as a double-edged sword.

It’s always such a bittersweet goodbye to finish a school year. like I hate having to do work and waking up early but I love my friends and the community i have at school😢. Im always relieved for the first week but then somehow miss school. I am NOT a good student btw

i was far too busy getting completely obliterated to do so in my early 20s. (do not recommend.)
but the experience of doing schoolwork now feels like it did as a little kid. you know.. before puberty knocked me awake to the reality of my shitty home life, which caused a haze of depression to fall over me.
in my single digit years i remember being so excited to do school work, and feeling so proud of myself when i did well. im getting a taste of that again.
i never lost the exhilarating feeling i got from gaining knowledge that truly excites me. but it’s a beautiful new kinda thing with the added clarity gained from not being ripped on weed 24/7 and the added confidence gained from surviving the shit hand that was given to me as a kid.
hang in there 🕊️

Even now as an old decrepit grad student and prof, the first day of school continues to fill me with wonder. What will my classes be like? Will I see anyone I know? I have a bag full of unused notebooks and pens. I somehow have not a care in the world and a feeling of dread. It’s lovely that some things stay exactly the same.

I love having all my sweet little friends over and making food together and then going on long walks or playing games after. It’s such a chill way to spend time together

my friends are laying beside me taking naps in the sun while I write this. The boy I like is snoring ever so slightly and it’s the cutest thing I’ve ever heard.
I am about to go home warm and happy and tired. I am happy about today
