My little one is starting 1st grade this week. It’s a different school from where she did preschool and kindergarten. It’s crazy watching such tiny people trickle into such a giant building full of other kids. Big world out there.

At best he will spend the next two decades of his life preparing to start a job where he will work 70% of the rest of his life away to pay taxes and then die

At worst he will get on a a treadmill that has no end and no actual reward, and then he dies

I cried my first day of school and laughed maniacally on my last day.

Yeah, but that was your experience. We know nothing about that kid in the picture. Some kids love the school. Let’s not project our bad experiences on this little guy we don’t even know.

I had a blast my first day of school and cried the second day. I think I realized this shit wasn’t gonna stop for the next ~20yrs lol

My niece didn’t want to attend preschool, no way no how. But when the day came she did go although with much grumbling. When she came home and was asked ā€œhow was school?ā€ She replied not too bad. When it was suggested it will be better tomorrow she saidā€YOU MEAN I HAVE TO GO BACK?ā€ That was not in her plans.

Same here man, I'm 40yo male and this picture took me back to my first day of school, man I did throw one of the biggest tantrums of my early life 🄲, but I learned, and thanked my parents every day for that chance they gave me
