Every year right before school starts, I get “school days” nostalgia, especially when I’m being inundated with back to school ads and news segments. Then immediately after, I get a feeling of grief when I remember that summer is almost over.
The last days of summer used to be filled with eager anticipation — that perhaps there were new friends to be made, new teachers to annoy, and most definitely, new adventures to be had.
What could be better than a fresh notebook (in my days) or a newly unwrapped iPad waiting to be customized? Thinking about it fills me with a sense of adventure, like the unmarked notebook that represents a fresh start.
I miss that feeling. Why do kids get to have all the fun?
So, I am making it my personal mission to get that sense of adventure back.
