hates it when in the summer people constantly ask you "Are you excited for school?" or remind you of how little time you have left before school starts again? Ugh today someone asked me that and I simply responded by "I don't want to talk about school in August" as politely as I could. Once my friend asked me "Are you excited for school?" and I said "I don't want to talk about it in July". Then he said "Who would?" and my other friend came over and she said "Apparently you would".

So how do you feel in the summer when people remind you of school the next year?

CheersChild4life · 08-03-2004, 02:42 PM

I don't mind it gives me something to talk about when my grandma visits and I have to make small talk with her.

Michael [hXc] · 08-03-2004, 02:46 PM

I don't mind when people ask "Are you excited for school" but "Summer's almost over, school's coming up soon" just makes me feel like the summer was really short and I don't like it. But then again it depends also who's asking me about school.

When people mention school to me during the summer, I'd like to stab them. Put it that way.

JDS84 · 08-03-2004, 02:56 PM

I actually don't mind people asking me if I am excited. The only thing that annoy me is when my great-grandmother asks me everyday when I start school and everyday I tell her that I start on August 16th.

Michael [hXc] · 08-03-2004, 03:06 PM

What I hate about it is that summer is a time to get away from school and all thoughts of it. It kills it when people constantly ask about school because it makes summer seem shorter.

Ain't that the truth.

I used to hate those "Back to school" commercials! How depressing was that?

Michael [hXc] · 08-03-2004, 03:12 PM

A sign school's coming up for me is that I can't stay up to watch Three's Company.

david&maddie4ever · 08-03-2004, 03:22 PM

Ugh, I hate that so much. Every time we have a party at my house, every single member of my family asks if I'm excited for high school. Sure, I'm excited...and nervous...but I don't need to be constantly reminded of my September adventure all through my vacation.

webuster · 08-03-2004, 03:31 PM

Even though I do very little with my summers, I still don't like to be reminded that starting September I'm back in uniform, with an annoying blazer that smells like wet dog whenever it rains!

It always seems to be grandparents and older family members that asked "Excited to be going back" with a sarcastic, ironic undertone, as if they're secretly mocking you,"Ha ha, you have to go to school. I'm old and get a pension and get discounts on everything. Isn't life sweet- hahahahaaha!"!.

What I hate more are the giant 'Back To School Sale' billboards the stores put up.

Michael [hXc] · 08-03-2004, 03:32 PM

It's like thinking about your job while on your vacation. Summer is almost like a vacation from school and if you are frequently reminded of school it's not a vacation.

like they should die

Michael [hXc] · 08-03-2004, 03:59 PM

i was just talking to one of my friends and she can't wait for school to start. probably because she wants to see the boy she has a crush on.

AllIWantIsYourClutch · 08-03-2004, 04:47 PM

Honestly, I don't mind going back to school. The only thing I'm worried about is how I'm going to finish all my summer reading crap in 14 days.
