Back To School Blues

Hello! I'm writing this half an hour before I have to be back in school after the long summer break. (My school has a half day on the first day back).

I can't say I'm not nervous; I am a bit shaky and I feel sick to my stomach, but I guess that's just nerves. This year I'm making a real effort to be a better and nicer person, become more organised, and generally sort my life out. The first day of school is usually the worst; even if you know everyone in your class, you feel like you have to give a good first impression. I got up at about 9 today in order to get myself ready. Looking good on the first day of school, for me, is a real confidence booster. I make sure to plan what I'm wearing and have everything ready the night before so that I don't have to think about it.

One of the reasons that I'm nervous is because this year I'm starting my GCSE work, and that scares me. It means that I'm getting to a really important part of my life, where big changes and decisions need to happen. To be honest, I don't really know what I want to do with my life. I'm very academic, so a lot of people want me to take that path. I would quite like to study makeup artistry, or be a blogger and YouTuber, but I can never quite decide.

Another reason for the school nerves is people. I find it hard making friends, but luckily I'm in a really lovely and supportive class, where I feel quite accepted. I guess I'm not the only one feeling nervous: a new school year means new teachers, classes and work. GCSE means that for most of my lessons I won't be with my class, but rather in subject choices, meaning that I can meet new people and make new friends.

Going back to school is never a good feeling, but, if you think about it, you'll get to see your friends every day, and learn about things that you're interested in. Of course there will be people and subjects that you don't like, but you just have you get on with it. If you dwell, you'll feel a whole lot worse.

I'm sorry for the rambly post today, but I have a lot on my mind and I wanted to share it with you. Good luck whenever you go back to school; have a great time and try to make this year your best one ever!
