Sadly, I'm not too excited for this summer. I remember when I was younger, summer meant a break from school and hanging out with friends. High school, however, has reinvented the meaning of summer for students everywhere.
Instead of having a complete break from society and school, summer is instead a complete frenzy. Sometimes, you're even busier than you would be if you were at school. Kids these days are pressured into rough nights of partying and days of cramming to get that last bit of summer homework in and e-mailed just before the tick of the clock that signifies it's late.
Rather than students acheiving that short sanctuary they've waited all year for, they're pressured from innumerable sources, to do things to please other people and everyone.
My motto for this summer? I'm just trying to get everything done, as quick as possible. I need a break from everything and everyone, and as always, plans are falling through.
In other knews, I completely recommend listening to Four Year Strong's new album. To all you youngsters, have a good summer. To all of you adolescents: may the force be with you.
