It's kinda funny how life works. For so many years, I remember dreading the first day of school. The new teachers, the unfamiliar classes, the uncertainty of where you'll sit come lunch time — it was all a rather stressful process. But now, looking back, I can't help but kinda miss it, which is why I've enjoyed living vicariously through the Liars and their drama-filled high school antics. In a way, it reminded me of my own academic experiences (you know, minus all the text threats and murder). But now that the Pretty Little Liars time jump is on its way, I'm scared I'll no longer be able to quench my teenage nostalgia. Luckily, PLL 's always relatable Hanna Marin has given us some great quotes throughout the years that perfectly encompass all of our first day of school woes.
Granted, there are numerous Hanna one-liners that are perfect for a variety of different situations, but when it comes to school-related feelings, she is the epitome of wisdom. So if you've been experiencing a few back-to-school jitters (or are feeling nostalgic about those former jitters), then just take comfort in knowing that Hanna feels your pain and can totally relate to it. But you don't just have to take my word for it. Here are all the times Hanna was totally you on your first day back to school…
