June!? May!?!? Try the last week of July! That's when British state schools break up [it might be different in NI and Scotland].
What is strange is that British schools [from my limited knowledge - it was a long time ago] hold their High School Prom in May and June so they are over and done with before the end of year Exams. Having a party and then doing the exams seems so very wrong...

I’ll be blunt and come right to the point; for the longest time, like many people, have been associating June with the last day of school. Except for a good period of three years back when I was living in Alaska where the school year was ended in May. But for the longest time for me otherwise the school years for me have always ended at a point where Fathers’ Day was just around the corner. Because of that, even now, when I have long since graduated from High School, I still hold that as my deadline to reminisce about my last day of school memories (nostalgia and all that rot, you understand).

But the problem that I have just recently begun to experience is that it feels like the last day of school periods in the world around me have begun to change so drastically. I mean, after I finished high school in Virginia, my mother was at last able to retire from her job and thus we have since moved back to California. However it was only within recent years of living here that I was able to learn about just how the schools that my nephew and nieces all go to let out and thus I figured out that they let out in the month of May down here. Now then, it was due to the mere purpose of nostalgic feeling that I would reminisce about my last day of school memories in the month of May, due to three years worth of the stuff happening in Alaska where the school year also ended in the fifth month of the year, so I was willing to let that discovery slide down as unimportant. However, just today, when I was looking at the calendar for the high school that I graduated from not too long ago, I discovered that not only did the graduation date for seniors move up to the second of June, but the last day of school for the underclassmen was also moved up, which left a full week in between those two dates and my previously established deadline, Fathers’s Day.

When it comes right down to it just feel so late for the party as it were when it comes to getting into the mood for 2 of June’s most well known occurrences and events, and I just needed to talk to someone about it and get some feedback about it.

So please reply to this post if you have some words to say about it

I went to uber-traditional Jewish highschools - they end at the beginning of the month of Av, which usually falls out at the end of July. I was always jealous of those who got off in June

What I'd like to see is a story featuring both mythological figures and a genre savvy protagonist. It at least would save me some frustration of mentally shouting at other, non-genre savvy protagonists, 'Look, it's so obviously Odin/Zeus/whomever!'

My poor husband is sick as a dog and our son attacked him with a water gun. But not just any water gun. We're talking the monster of all water firearms that sprays two different types of streaks. Completely soaked. Lol.

Kids are jerks. My son was asked what my favorite thing to do was. He replied, "Nothing. He doesn't like to do anything." And my brother's kid said my brother was special because he was bald. Kids man.

AHAHA! Wow. That's some harsh burns right there. Sure you guys don't need some burn cream for those insults?

The sickest burns come from small children. The worst part is, a little kid is just being baldly honest.

I see what you did there. And it's true. Although, my son was wrong. I like to do lots of things. Playing with him is one of them. Sleeping is another. Writing books is another. Conquering Eternia is great fun as well.
