21 Back-to-School GIFs That Will Ring a Bell

It’s technically still summer, but most schools have already resumed or soon will, effectively setting the sun on sleeping in and carefree days. These back-to-school GIFs will help you wake up and face reality, even though this seemed like just yesterday.

Returning to school means different things to different people. Some are excited to reunite with friends.

Or quench their thirst for knowledge.

“I hope I get straight seas!”

Others cringe at the mere thought of bells, classrooms, and, of course, studying.

In fact, some people will do almost anything to hide out or get away.

“Anywhere is better than this dump.”

Yes, sitting quietly for hours at a time can be less than thrilling.

“If only there were something to spin while fidgeting.”

And some truths are inescapable.

But it’s important to maintain proper perspective.

The fact is, school doesn’t have to be a drag.

Still skeptical?

There are plenty of ways to make school fun. Like dancing.

Just keep it in the hallway — or the music room.

Otherwise…

And don’t fall for any tricks others might play to pass the time.

Or overreact if you do.

It’s important to make a strong first impression.

You never know who may be watching.

So, get a move on. You don’t want to be late.

Unless you have access to some sort of time machine.

So, even if you’re apprehensive, try to embrace the new school year with an open mind and open arms.

Settle in. Find your comfort zone. Maybe share lunch with a friend.

You’ve done this before. And summer will be here again before you know it. You got this.
