• Mixed Feelings: Smiley Central ® Heads Back To School

  Date: 2011.08.23 | Category: iPhone App, Smiley Graphic | Response: 0

  Have you been searching for the perfect way to show your friends how you feel about starting another school year? Well at Smiley Central, we searched high and low in our stock of thousands of smileys to find one that personifies the mix of excitement and fear that accompanies the start of a new year. Without further ado, here’s what we’ve nicknamed the “End of August, Back to School Smiley”:

  

  Isn’t it perfect? Going back to school is definitely scary, especially that moment you realize you forgot EVERYTHING you learned last year! Plus, you have to deal with new teachers, a new schedule and harder classes, tests and papers. There’s also the pressure to plan out your entire life – how can people ask you what you want to be doing in five years if you’re not even sure what you’ll have for lunch?! Of course, not everything about starting school again is terrible. Usually, you head to school with fresh supplies and an even fresher wardrobe. And if they’re going to force you to sit in a building for nine hours a day, at least you get to spend it with your best friends, right? If you’re an athlete, you have the new season to look forward to – we bet it will be your best season yet! Now that you’ve thought about it more, isn’t this smiley perfect? To send it to your friends, just download the Smiley Central App for your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad and start sharing today! We have a feeling your friends will agree that this Back to School Smiley is the best one out there!

Other prizes are collectively valued at over $200. Who couldn’t use an extra $200, right? I bet those of you who didn’t enter the HeartYou contest are really kicking yourselves right now. And for those who did enter, you don’t have to wait much longer. Winners will be announced this Wednesday, August 10.
