As I turned my calendar today to August, a jolt of excitement went through me when I realized "I START NURSING SCHOOL THIS MONTH"!!!! :w00t:Then, a half second later I inwardly groaned, "I start school this month" :uhoh21:. I realized my summer has come and gone, and the lazy days are over.
So, when you go back to school, what selfish, decadent things are you going to miss. I mean, not the obvious, my family, my kids, etc... the TRULY superficial things that won't be able to done again until December (at the earliest).
For me... I will miss sleeping in, reading non-school books, watching bad TV, trolling this website, and being lazy... just cause I can!

I will miss my free time in general... And being able to procrastinate!! Can't do that while in nursing school. Also not having to stress over studying this summer has been nice... That will all go away on August 20th!! I think I'm okay with it though. It will be worth it.

I had that exact same thought this morning. Im going to miss dreaming about starting school because I'll actually be there. I'm going to miss going to bed late and waking up late, and all of the reality shows I have gotten use to watching although I will still try and make time for NY Med...love that show.

Super excited to start as well!! But I will miss:
1. Sleeping in and staying up late.
2. Relaxing at the pool.
3. Spending time at the library for my own enjoyment.
Superficial, I know! I enjoyed having a lazy time before NS consumes my life!!

Word of encouragement: you can still have a life! School is hard, you will have to study hard, do practice tests, and live in a sea of busy work, but there will be time to enjoy life too.
