So some days you'd rather go anywhere but class. Even Antartica. But when it comes down to it, school's pretty great. Here's why.

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

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

3. Winter break. Hooray!

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

5. Back-to-school sales. Your wardrobe is definitely bigger because of them.

6. That satisfied feeling you get when you earn an A. THe only thing that feels better is an A+.

7. Phys ed class is like a free membership to a gym. .......

8. You have the opportunity to make new friends every day. You school is full of potential new besties.

9. Fifth-period hottie. 'Nuff said.

10. That lunch. True, most of the time cafeteria food isn't great, but there's that one lunch--you count down the days until it's served again.

11. Spring break. Hip hip hooray!! 

12. No school...no school dances.

13. School supplies. Admit it, you LOVE 'em too. There's something so special and fun about your new collection of pens and the fresh clean notebooks that are just waiting for doodles, er, math notes.

14. Summer break. HOLLA!!!

15. Slowly, day by day, you're getting smarter.
