LIFE

Some days, you'd rather go to Antarctica than class—but the truth is that school rocks. Here, 10 reasons why... 

1. Your school crew. They get you through those rough days that just won't quit.

2. Your favorite subject. You're a natural and even (secretly) like doing homework for that class.

3. Your favorite teacher. She just *gets* you. Plus, she gives the best advice.

4. #ThatFeelingWhen you earn an A. The only thing that feels better is an A+.

5. That lunch. True: Most of the time, caf food is #theworst—but there’s that one delish dish you anxiously await all week long.

6. No school means no school dances—and who would want that?

7. You have the chance to make new friends every day. Your school is full of besties you haven’t met yet.

8. Fifth-period cutie. Enough said.

9. School supplies. Admit it—you *love* them, too. There's something so special and fun about your new collection of pens and the fresh, clean notebooks that are just waiting for your doodles... (er, math notes).

10. Every day you're building on your brillance.
