You honestly could take me and put me back to any year of my education days and I would love it. I was the student who thrived in the academic world, could multi task and take on a million things at once. I am not saying I was the best student, I rarely studied (prior to university), and I always left things till the last minute, but I still loved it.
I hate reading all over facebook and twitter about how people hate that they are going back to school, that they are complaining about another school year. I am jealous, I wish I could be going back to school. If I could do it all over again, I know I would be doing things different, I would have tried harder, probably taken on more extracurriculars and put more effect in making friendships that last.
School was not always wonderful for me, like everyone else I stressed over tests, I rushed to finish projects last minute, I was picked on and bullied and at times felt very alone, but overall it was wonderful. There is no where else that you can participate in so many different things for FREE or almost free, from sports to the arts, to leadership building. Also, you never have more free time, university included. You have maybe 20 hours of class a week, you can study when you want, do everything at your own pace, so you have an open and flexible schedule which is wonderful.
So that is my rant, I want everyone to realise just how blessed they are to be able to be a student, to be getting one of the best educations in the world and not complain so much because before you know it you will be sitting at a desk, watching a school bus pass and wish you could go back. But then again, maybe that is just me, Man I miss it!
