Today’s the first day of school for most kids in Jefferson County. If you live somewhere not in Jefferson County, you might have already started school, or you might not have started yet. Either way, happy First Day of School to all you parents out there! If you don’t have kids, happy Going Back to Work as Usual Day! Enjoy it!

For my entire 19 year academic career, I had the same approach to school. I was always excited for school to start in the fall because I was bored of summer. Even in law school, which was pretty awful! I’m an emotional idiot. I’d kill it in the fall semester, too. I’d do alright in the start of the spring semester, too. But then, as soon as it got warm outside, game over. It took all I had not to completely check out. Every transcript I have looks the same. Awesome fall semester, just slightly above average spring semester. Don’t do that, kids!
