THE HERD IS BACK By Anna Serpa The Herd is back to school again! It is such a bummer that our summer days are gone. I personally look with minor regret at all the fun activities I missed! However, with school now in session, it means we have to keep the daydreams at bay and the music solely in our heads while we listen to our teachers drone on about school policies. Our days have become ones of listening in silence instead of a social session. The summer heat is still with us, but without the freedom to enjoy it. We chat with friends in the classes that we share, often getting so loud that the teacher has to resort to a cheesy attention grabber. Let’s curb the leisurely conversation and talk about our assigned classes that require all of our focus. School is
back already which means the croquet sets and beach trips are on hold for some time. Until then, we have to open our young minds and our notebooks. Going home and doing homework for the first few weeks is difficult and we slack ever so slightly thinking it won’t matter. Little things we think we can skip, like looking over our class notes daily, will eventually hurt our overall grades. Our education is not on the teacher's’ shoulders. The “no child left behind” system of education has been demolished and abolished. We have to be willing to help ourselves achieve the level of education we want to receive. The sun is out, but with school in much of the fun is gone, or so we think. As students, homework is required, but what if we played outside until dark? Or set goals with rewards for completing them. Being academically serious doesn’t mean a loss of recreational activities. Work hard, but remember to play. Study and release your inner child.
