One valuable thing I’ve learned over the summer is to soak in every moment of your life, regardless of whether you think it is the most boring thing you’ve ever had to experience. When summer came around, I expected myself to be a lot happier with no work and endless amounts of time to hang out with friends and do other fun activities. That whole mindset fell short within a week’s time. I found myself bored, not really doing anything, and most of all missing school. Even though I procrastinated like crazy when receiving homework, it gave me something to do. Now, schools here, and I find myself missing summer. Which is weird because summer me would’ve been yearning to be where I’m at right now. So, I’ve realized, why not just embrace every moment, whether I wish I were in a different one? Because when looking at the whole picture, I have less than half a year of high school left. So, I should make the most of everything while I still can.
