What I did on my summer vacation

As much as we don't want to admit it, school is just around the corner. This year when I go back, I'm sure I did many interesting things that my friends actually want to hear about. I used to always make sure I did something cool and amazing over the break for when I had to write a "What I Did on my Summer Vacation" essay. I remember watching cartoons and the characters hating to write the essays and the popular kids ridiculing them for not doing something cool. I never wanted to be like that cartoon. Now that I think about it, I have never had to write one of those essays. Actually, my teachers rarely ask about what the students did over summer vacation. My friends were the only ones that ever cared and even then, our conversations on the topic lasted only a week. If I remember correctly, the only thing I ever wrote about my summer break experience was in first grade where we were required to write one sentence about it thus teaching us how to use nouns and verbs correctly. I probably wrote something about going on vacation or to my grandparent's house. That was enough then, so shouldn't it be enough now? Yeah, actually it is. For anyone who has ever stressed about have a boring vacation or is cramming to get as many camps in as possible, stop! Just make sure your vacation is exactly that: a vacation. Even though there's only a month left of our break, enjoy it because the only thing that matters is that you enjoy it, and you will never enjoy anything if you do it to impress other people.
