Ah, Summer...

Well, summer is drawing to a close. Last weekend of the season. Actually, a few of my friends have already gone back to school this last week, but for the most part everyone I know goes back in the next few days, whether its Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. And all over Facebook and Youtube and other networks I see teenagers complaining

"Where did summer go?!"
"This is crap..."
"Why do we start so early?"
"One week left :("

And other such whining. Even my brother groans out loud whenever some one asks if he's excited about school starting up again. On the other hand, there are those few idividuals who can't wait for the new school year. It's all countdowns and exclamations on their Facebook pages.

Both sides are wrong.

At least that's how I feel about it. The last two weeks of summer are always like this, the opposing sides of those dreading school and those anticipating it. I won't lie, previous years I was on one side or the other. This year however, I'm just frustrated by both.

Why not just enjoy it?

It sounds simplistic, but honestly, why worry about it either way? School is going to start whether we want it to or not. Time doesn't slow down or speed up for us. Spend the last few days of summer enjoying it! Not thinking about the new year. You don't have to necessarily cram the last days with activity, because isn't that what we hate about the school year? Just relax everyone. The world isn't ending, it's just school starting.
