It's that time of year again. Kids are back in school and summer vacations have wrapped up. It got me to thinking...what is a favorite first day of school memory you have? This can be of yourself or someone you love (kid, family story you've heard, or a friend you want to throw under the bus!) Let us know in the comments below! And if you want to have some more fun, don't forget to play in our Trivia Tower event that starts today at 12pm noon (est.) and wraps up this Friday, Sept. 1st.

I'll go first: 

My favorite memory on the first day of school was always having that new backpack filled with brand new markers, crayons, pencils, Lisa Frank folders/notebooks, and my new "first day" outfit. It always felt so exciting and full of possibilities. I still get excited for my son on the first day of school because it's a reminder of that old feeling of heading back to my friends and teachers. Since I went to elementary school in the 80s, it's was always full of color, scrunchies, and slap bracelets! LOL

Now you go! And if you play in the Trivia Tower event, you'll get an extra three bonus points just for telling us your story!

My sister's first day of kindergarten was pretty funny. If I name dropped her she would be upset lol. 

My sister swore she was a big girl and it was just another day.....yeah sure lol
She woke me up that morning to ensure her outfit was "cool enough" after multiple tweaks from big bro she was ready. 

I'm 10 years older for reference and was a sophomore in high school at the time but she DEMANDED I had be the person to walk her into class. Needless to say I was very late for school.

On the drive to school she is still playing it very cool and I really thought she was going to hold it all together. As our mom is turning into her school another car that was not paying attention almost t-boned us. After an exchange of some non kindergarten appropriate language between the drivers it's finally time for the big moment.

As we walk to her classroom she breaks down, like a full on ugly cry! I walk her to the area to hang up her things and my sister drops her backpack. As she is picking the backpack up she bumps heads with another little girl who has the same JanSport backpack as her (they are both crying btw) they calm down and introduce themselves to each other. The little girls name was Kate. Kate and my sister instantly become bff's. My mom and I find out the next week that Kate's parents are the ones that almost t-boned us. From kindergarten to 5th grade Kate and my sister stayed bff's...we're talking play dates, sleepovers, and bday parties. You name it they did it. What started off as an exchange of colorful language turned into a amazing friendship!

Now I have to call my sis to ask if she's still in touch with Kate.

I remember my first day of high school. I went to the same small school for grades K-8, so the transition to a big high school was a pretty huge change. Well, some things happened, mistakes were made, and on that very first day I somehow ended up in the wrong room for a Spanish 3 class instead of the introductory Spanish 1 class I was supposed to be in. Mortified.

Hi, 
I don't specifically remember my 1st day of school, but I had a nerdy group of friends. We use to complete our Summer-Holiday-HomeWork in first 2-3 days of the vacation. Somehow it does not sound exciting now, but at that age 'n' moment it was a big achievement, as if we're going to make our group proud or something, by doing something useful (like science experiments) during rest of our vacations !!
Obviously, that never happened as Nintendo (gaming consoles) were introduced and we were stuck to a boxy-TV for almost rest of the vacation days.

My kindergarten school would only allow kids to start once they could tie their shoelaces. I could not. I cried to my mom that they would kick me out of school. She told me to tell them I could and double-knotted my laces. My first lesson at being a skillful liar. l  I eventually learned how to tie my shoes (thank goodness).
