Memories are concepts that everyone has everyday. Summer memories are even better to have because we remember the heat, the clothes, and the laughs. Everyone experiences these summer memories  and we all know how difficult it is to get back into the zone of school or work after a vacation. Isabela Aguilar, ‘20 stated,”Transition from summer break back to school is really hard because I had an amazing summer and I had great experiences. It was really hard for me to get back into the swing of waking up early and doing homework. Some of my favorite memories come from the month of July when I got to go to Spain and I had the best time of my life there.” 

These transitions of having our own routines during the summer and then having to change it all because we have to come back into school can be a little rough on anyone. Ig is necessary to have to bring back focus to academic stuff.  Isabel Velazquez, ‘21 said, “My transition from summer into the new school year was a bit stressful because I had started thinking about junior year and the academic expectations like college, ACT, and SAT. I was happy to get into the groove of things but sad that I would have to change my personal schedule since I wouldn’t have as much time as I did during summer break.” 

Coming into a new environment and not knowing what to expect when coming to a new school can be scary especially when coming from summer break. Knowing summer is over and having to start on something new can be a bit challenging. As Alondra L. Varillas, ‘23 noted,“My summer was decent. I went to PA to drop my brother off at college. I also went to the water park and a mariachi concert. When I came to school, it was kind of a hard transition because I had never gone to this school so I didn’t know what to expect and also because it was just kind of sudden. It felt like summer had just started and then it was time for school.” 

Summer break is something we will always miss. The sunsets, activities, and vacations are things that we will always cherish and we will always keep in mind as some of the best summer memories we have.
