Most kids I knew were bummed about going back to school.  That meant summer was over and it was time to get back to learning.  I will admit it would make me sad but going back to school meant having a whole different kind of fun.

Yes, even way back I loved shopping, even if it was back-to-school shopping.  So I was definitely excited about the new clothes, supplies and all the other stuff that comes with the first day of school.

The shopping thing for me, surprisingly, was not the most exciting thing about starting a new school year.  It was about being able to be back with friends five days a week.  Sure, you'd see them  over the summer but it wasn't quite the same.  You would get back in the groove of school together and you'd sit next to each other at lunch.  It was all those fun things that you only get pieces of during summer vacation.

What was your favorite thing about heading back to school?
