Over the weekend I found my old King Lear essay and resume from 1997 on a good old fashioned disc. Of course I couldn't open them, but it brought back memories of high school, pulling all nighters to write essays and the sweet/ terrible smell of new plastic binders. When was the last time you were in school? Are you heading back this week? Should you be there now?
I haven’t been to school in years (with the exception of Beer School, which doesn’t really count… or does it?) but the first week of September still feels like the beginning of a new year, even more so than January 1st ever does.
I once heard some people say they don’t trust people who liked high school, and others call it “the time of their life.” We’ve already established through things like 14 Forever that it was an important time to grow your musical tastes, but what was it like for you?
Whether you hate(d) or love(d) your time in the classroom, there are hundreds of songs about school days by everyone from the Beach Boys to Kanye to White Wires, today we’ll get to some of those tracks, any come to mind?
