The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
Not an ode to Trapper Keepers. THIS year.
Happy Back to School!
The beginning of a new school year is its own vibe. No matter your level of education.
A sentiment shared by Ted Lasso . . .
Maybe it’s the new school clothes. Or school supplies. Or the prospect of harder classes.
Even as an adult on staff at a school - which generally means you work year-round - the first week of school is exciting.

Oooooh! Just look at all those pretty school supplies!
Paper clips and calculators and highlighters, oh my!
Mix-Tape Must-Have
Ok. This video is terrifying.
It’s also (subjectively) the best song about school ever.
Sorry, Alice Cooper!
Fun Fact
Bonus Fun Fact
According to the National Center for Education statistics, 30% of Americans would rather clean a bathroom than solve a math problem.
Relatable.
For Your Entertainment
Anyone else out there forever terrified of word problems on math tests???!
The struggle is/was real.
And the situations outlined in the problems were almost always absurd.

Back to School Haiku
We should never stop learning.
So I’m learning to write haikus. I may have written one in high school, but it wasn’t an award winning piece, or I would probably remember it.
CLEARLY I don’t have a natural gift.
But hey! Practice makes perfect.
