Instead of posting about the first day of school coming up tomorrow morning, I'm going to go ahead and talk about the last night of summer!
No, no, no. NOT the anxiety you get as you start to analyze your new first day outfit, nor the stress that is caused from replaying how you think it will go over and over again in your head...
...I'm talking about the bittersweet feeling you get while thinking back to the beginning of summer break and how you didn't have a clue as to how awesome your summer was going to turn out to be. When all those days you thought had fallen into the category of "boring" blend with those days that had fallen into the category of "amazing" and create a whole jumble of summertime memories. You start to remember the little things such as enjoying an outdoor movie at your friend's house, coming home to a nice warm shower after a week of camping in the great outdoors, or enjoying a nice slice of summertime watermelon in one hand and roasting a marshmallow over the campfire with another.

And that, I believe, is the reason as to why the last night of summer is amazing. It's a new, fresh start. So go make the best of it!
Good luck to everyone who has already started their first day of school or is starting tomorrowl like me!
