school.

So, I've thought of a way to describe school quite well. It's an analogy, and for the most part it works.

The school year is like a pregnancy. It's the same exact length! 9 months... I mean, that is not the only similarity. Before the school year, you're having the time of your life. Same with a pregnancy. Yeah. At the beginning of the school year, it's all very exciting and new and you learn all of the rules of how things are going to work, similar to a pregnancy. Throughout the course of being pregnant, you learn a lot of things, about yourself included, just like in a year of school. You have good times and bad times in both. You wake up every morning and know that it's your obligation to do this, and you have to be responsible. You have to commit and work hard for both of them. There are times when you just want to be done! But you must persevere. And just like a pregnancy, school may come easier to others and for some it can be really difficult. But there you are, at the end of the school year/pregnancy, sad to see it go for some reason, but also excited to see what the future holds.

Of course, the difference is that at the end of it all, you usually don't end up with a ton of babies.
