You probably remember going on school field trips as a child. Your parents are signing your permission slip, you’re getting an outfit prepared the night before, waking up to a somewhat special breakfast, and other things that are getting you pumped up for the school day.

i miss that day-before-a-field-trip excitement you’d get in elementary school. even though i came to terms with the fact that every day isn’t going to feel like christmas eve i never expected to feel this sad.

I can remember my last field trip during elementary school. It was at the PNE which is a pretty decent choice for a final elementary school trip. I got up in the morning, had a special breakfast (unfortunately I can’t remember what I had), put on the outfit I prepared the night before, and got to school early since the bus came before school started. After we arrived, we noticed that a bunch of other schools were also there. I even spotted someone that I knew outside of school there. We had the usual talk before everyone was allowed in, such as not getting lost and staying in groups. I of course, like many others, broke these rules. I have definitely gotten lost a few times and got split from my group. I don’t think any of the teachers actually cared because no one got in trouble as far as I know. It was hard trying to do as much as possible during the trip. At some point, I was too tired to do any further and just sat around our waiting area for the last half hour. I honestly couldn’t care to do any more PNE things. At least I had fun while I was able to. It was one of those trips where we got back to school before it ended, which was weird considering it was a trip to the PNE.

We probably miss going on a field trip. Imagine a world where colleges and workplaces did trips like this yearly as we did during elementary school. Sure, we might have the money to do it ourselves but it’s not the same.
