Its that time of year again. The days are getting shorter, the nights colder, and those annoying commercials every 10 seconds while your favorite show or sport is on a commercial break…yes it’s back to school time.

After a summer of sleeping late, we are back to waking up at 7 AM each and every day…some people even get up earlier then that. The thought of another ten months of school is stressful enough, but what really irked me was the barrage of back to school television commercials that always hit viewers at the end of August and throughout September. We get it already….we need school supplies!

What we are feeling is a condition I like to call the September Blues. Just like the “Sunday Night Blues” that hit people before the start of the work week, we students are taking it one step further. This isn’t about a short weekend…it’s two and a half months of fun gone….it’s June, July, and August totally disappearing until 2018….

This is a teens worst nightmare. No more long nights watching TV, hanging out until the wee hours of the night, and sleeping until you can’t sleep anymore.

Many of us will say we just have to deal with it, but in reality we all have a case of the September Blues.
