Things That Hit Different During The First Week Back At School

Summer is over, alarms are back on and suddenly waking up before 7am feels completely unnatural.

The first week back at school always comes with a very specific kind of chaos.

Waking Up Early

You spent all summer forgetting alarms existed. Now you’re negotiating with yourself over five more minutes every morning.

Seeing Everyone Again

Whether you missed them or not, the first day back is basically one massive reunion.

The “New Year, New Me” Phase

Fresh notebooks. New pens. Perfectly organised bag. Give it two weeks.

That First Break

After sitting through your first few lessons, break suddenly feels like the greatest invention of all time.

Trying To Remember Your Timetable

“What lesson do we have next?” becomes the most commonly asked question of the week.

Teachers Saying “We’ll Start Slowly”

And then somehow you already have homework.

Your Sleep Schedule Being Completely Destroyed

Going from sleeping whenever you want to needing eight hours before an early alarm is brutal.

The First Weekend Back

You’ve only been back for a few days, but somehow you already feel like you deserve a holiday.

You might complain about going back, but there’s something about that first week that always feels different.

How’s the first week treating you?
