School rules!

Ten reasons why the great learning prison can be quite cool.

Yes, we know holidays are brilliant, but there are some good things about being at school.

  1. You get to hang out with young people who you aren't related to again.
  2. New stationery - hell even new uniform is basically something new, right?!
  3. You get to see that there is actually a secret world that exists before 12pm.
  4. You get to see that guy... you know that guy!
  5. It's fun checking out who's had a summer make over.
  6. You can size up the new first years (and be nice and supportive to them - or else).
  7. If you're new to school you might have just found out about Slink from the girls in the year above - welcome to you, lovely new reader!
  8. Passing notes in lessons is, like, a TOTALLY thrilling experience that you can only do at school.
  9. The weekend means something again (OK we're getting desperate now...)
  10. And finally, going back means it's one day closer to the Christmas holidays.
