My best days do seem like a distillation of all that was best about school. Write a story! Paint a picture! Write a poem! Make a print!
I never understand when people say, 'School days are the best of your life.' So it's all downhill from 16? How depressing.

I was a sullen kid who smoked cigarettes and wore black every day, and I went to a school that was lacrosse players and Izods.
