Back to the Future

Back to the future, back to reality; call it what you may but it all leads to the same outcome: school. The arrival of Labor Day weekend brings with it last vestiges of summer; long evenings with friends, a day or two spent at the Great Minnesota Get Together, and days of pure relaxation. The beginning of another year of routine makes us acutely aware of our future, of what comes next, be it rigorous coursework or preparation for college. Dreams of bigger and better things, of life on a campus away from parents have been frequenting my brain lately, but maybe I'm getting a little ahead of myself.


I've always enjoyed thinking of life after high school, full of ideas of being a lawyer living in the Big Apple, but this year I've realized to live in the moment. A plan is important but so is the high school experience, the last time you get a chance to be young and carefree. So after a longwinded explanation, basically this year I'm going to enjoy Cross Country, Student Council, piano, choir and a plethora of other activities while they last, make the most out of school and enjoy it while it lasts. Plus having parents that support you fiscally won't last forever so you've got to make the most of it! Here is to a new school year, hopefully it's a good one.
