Under Pressure

So it's finally Summer, and you've all probably had the sweet taste of freedom so far.

It's finally here homework bonfires, beach trips, late night parties, and smiling a lot more.

Do you guys feel that way? I feel like I just smile more in the summer.

Every summer I have this idea in my head that I've changed because of summer. Every summer I become this new person with an insane amount of confidence and the ability to relax and not worry about all the stressful things going on.

 but I realize that summer isn't what changes me, school is what changes me.

I have a belief that during summer you find yourself, and you get use to who that person is, and during the school year we can re-find that person during weekends and holiday breaks, but besides those few gatherings we lose them, and we become someone else.

Someone who is full of stress and feels the pressure that school puts onto us every day we have to go there, and I feel that is no way to live.

It's no way to live because not everyone can handle that pressure, and a lot of us crack under it.

When people crack or break under that pressure it never goes unnoticed, but things always go unchanged.

Adults try to tell us that there are healthy ways to control out stress, but there really is no way when they keep adding more on to it.

Thankfully we have summer, which is the greatest escape anyone could ever ask for, a little under three months of pure smiles, laughter, and care free happiness.

Summer is where true memories are made.
