How They Went To School VS How They Came Home

1. What happened to this poor kid!

The difference two pictures can make…the left one was quite clearly taken at the start of the school day as the little girl looks all ready with a smile on her face. However, the picture on the right tells a very different story, we wonder what happened that day!

2. Messy hair day

How cute is this kids two-piece outfit? We can’t get over how stylish she looks for school! In the picture on the left she looks ready for a big day at school with her lunchbox in one hand and a pretty yellow bow keeping her hair back…the picture on the right is way more chaotic!

3. Someone had a good day

We can’t get over how adorable this little girl looks in the left picture on her very first day of pre-school! Look at her cute pigtails and frilly socks which match her Minnie Mouse dress. She might look way more disheveled in the right picture, but she looks just as happy!

4. The face of exhaustion

Image Source: boredpanda.com

This has to be on the funniest before VS after pictures…this little boy looks so excited to go to school in the left picture, with a huge grin on his face and a backpack the same size as him! But in the right picture, he doesn’t look so cheery…in fact, he looks completely wiped out!

5. A disheveled look

Image Source: boredpanda.com

This little girl looks so smart in the picture on the left, with her tie neatly in place and her hair pulled back with a matching bow. But check out the picture on the right…you would barely recognise her! Someone clearly had a wild time in the playground.

6. Wiped out

Another cute ‘first day at school’ picture on the left, with the little girl holding a sign and posing for the camera. But we all know how overwhelming and exhausting school can be…so it doesn’t surprise us to see she is passed out on the couch in the right picture!

7. Check out the hair!

This little girl went to school with an immaculate hairstyle as you can see in the left picture…but she didn’t look like this by the end of the day! Her face does not look very impressed either, which is a sign that maybe someone had a very hectic day at school.

8. On the floor

Image Source: boredpanda.com

He was all smiles at the start of the day before school, but by the end of it he was on the floor…quite literally! This poor kid couldn’t hack it anymore and we don’t blame him, school is hard work! He was definitely ready for home time, don’t you think?

9. Where's the bow gone?

Image Source: BuzzFeed

How cute is this little girl in the picture on the left, we can’t get over the matching dress and bow with the little converse trainers! But this was when she was already to start her day at school…the picture on the right was definitely by the end, she even lost her bow!

10. Someone's had enough!

Image Source: boredpanda.com

His day really went downhill…as you can tell! The left picture was taken before school, where this little kid looks super happy and excited to be going to school. He doesn’t look happy whatsoever in the picture on the right, someone needs a snack and a nap!

11. Get me out of here

Image Source: boredpanda.com

How adorable is this little girl posing at the front door before school, her tutu skirt is so cute! She might be all smiles here, but the picture on the right is stepping off the school bus on the way home and we can tell she has certainly had enough!

12. Mum won't be pleased...

Image Source: BuzzFeed

Can you imagine how long it must have taken to do this beautiful hairstyle? We don’t know what happened to this poor little girl at school, but the picture on the right was taken by her Mum at the end of the day and she certainly looks different to how she dropped her off!

13. She is not impressed

Image Source: Pinterest

This is definitely one of the funniest before VS after pictures…this adorable little girl looks so happy on her first day of pre-school. But it looks like her day didn’t go as well as she’d hoped, as she does not look too happy in the second picture!

14. Fun on the first day

Image Source: Totally The Bomb

We love this little girls adorable outfit for her first day at school, check the turquoise hair bow which even matches her dress in the left picture! She doesn’t look as well presented in the second picture, but her bow is still hanging on by a thread!

15. Little sis has had enough

Image Source: boredpanda.com

How cute is this sister picture on their way to school, they are too adorable! The second picture was taken by their Dad when they’d just got home from school, and although the older sister still has a big cheesy grin, the younger one doesn’t look too happy!

16. Just as happy before and after

Image Source: boredpanda.com

This is a pretty rare before VS after shot…if anything, this little girl looks happier by the end of the school day compared to the start! But hey, we are pleased to see she had such a great day based on that smile and that is what school is all about after all!

17. Fallen curls

Image Source: BuzzFeed

We can’t get over how pretty this little girls curled hairstyle is on her first day of school in the left picture…unfortunately, she doesn’t look as happy by the end of the day! It looks like all her curls have dropped out, and she isn’t pleased about it.

18. Not another photo, Mum!

Image Source: boredpanda.com

These two pictures were taken one day apart…the picture on the left is on this little girls first day of school whereas the picture on the right was taken on her second day of school. We’re not sure she enjoyed her first day, based on the face she is pulling!

19. Life as a kid is hard work

Image Source: boredpanda.com

This is a very cute sibling picture taken on the first day back to school after the summer holidays. But judging on how they both look in the second picture below which was taken by their Mum after school at the diner, their first day back was hard work!

20. Someone took a tumble in the mud!

Image Source: Totally The Bomb

We can’t imagine this little girls Mum was very impressed after seeing her daughter covered in mud! The picture on the left before school shows her gleaming white polo shirt, all ready for a big day at school…but clearly someone took a tumble because it didn’t stay white for long.

21. He is ready for home time

Image Source: Glasgow Times

How adorable is this little boy in a full suit for his school uniform? He looks so smart for his first day back in the left picture…but we can’t say he still looked like that by the end of the day! The picture on the right shows him walking out at the end of school and he looks ready to leave.

22. Nap time on the way home

Image Source: boredpanda.com

Look at this little girl stood outside the front gates ready for her first day at big school…she looks totally adorable with a purple backpack half the size of her! But based on the picture on the right, it looks like someone found their first day pretty exhausting!

23. Time for a rest!

Image Source: Glasgow Times

We love the colour coordination of this little girls red socks and hair bows to match her school uniform cardigan, she is a very stylish looking 6-year-old! The picture on the right was taken once she had got home from school, and her cheeks are almost as red as her bows!

24. Someone looks sleepy

Image Source: boredpanda.com

We can tell just by her face which picture was taken at the start of the school day and which one was taken at the end…yep, the picture on the right was definitely at the end of the day! She can’t even manage to carry her backpack on her back anymore, she must be tired!

25. He can't even push out a smile

Image Source: Glasgow Times

We love the big cheesy grin on this boys face in the left picture, which was taken on the morning before school. But check out the picture on the right, that is definitely not the same smiley happy boy anymore! He looks totally wiped out, time for a lie down on the couch!

26. Someone isn't looking too happy!

Image Source: Awesome Adventures

Oh how things can change…this little boy looked so smiley and happy in the left picture which was taken before he went to school. However check out the right picture…his face says it all! That little boy is not impressed, maybe he didn’t do very well on his quiz!

27. No more smiles!

Image Source: boredpanda.com

This little girl started her day of school with a big cheesy grin, sporting a zebra print frilly dress and a cute pink patterned back pack. But by the end of the day, she wasn’t look as enthusiastic as you can tell by her messy hair and the shocked look on her face!

28. Oh no, here come the tears...

Image Source: Awesome Adventures

It went from big cheesy smiles to tears real quick between these two pictures…that poor kid! On the left she looks so happy and excited for her first day at school, but based on how upset she looks in the right picture, we are guessing things didn’t go so well!

29. She can't take much more

Image Source: Glasgow Times

Now that is quite an impressive school inform…it comes as no surprise that this poor kid looks pretty disheveled by the end of the day, we would be too! Imagine having to walk around in that heavy cardigan and blazer all day, she is definitely ready for home time!

30. Time to check lost property!

Image Source: Glasgow Times

Another super cute kid on her first day of school, look at this fluffy green bobbles in her hair which even match her uniform! But if you check out the picture on the right, it looks like she spent half of the day losing most of her clothes…Mum won’t be happy!

31. The Idea Of Going Back To School

Image Source / Bored PandaThis kid is ahead of her time, because no doubt she'll be doing this every Sunday night when she's faced with Monday morning at work when she gets older! This is her reaction to the very idea of going back to school - she must not have realised it's a longer-than-one-day experience!

32. There Are Two Kinds Of Kid

Image Source / Bored PandaHere are two very different reactions to the idea of going back to school! Although saying that, there does seem to still be a look of fear in the eyes of the girl, despite the smile... So maybe she's literally grinning and bearing it, unlike her brother.

33. She's Seen Some Things

Image Source / Bored PandaThis kid looks a million years older on the picture on the right! She looks like she's been faced with paying her taxes, buying her own home and having to pay her bills. What exactly happened during her first day to create such a look of existential crisis?

34. You Gotta Catch Sleep Wherever You Can

Image Source / Bored PandaThis kid is 100% done with school already. So much so that she's so exhausted she'll fall asleep hunched over a chair even before she's had chance to take her shoes, jacket and backpack off. Either she was working too hard, or she just can't be bothered working at all! We feel that.

35. The Floor Does Look Comfy

Image Source / Bored PandaTo be fair, a lot of kindergartens and early schools have official 'nap times', so this guy is just thinking ahead. And when you have a rather squishy looking rainbow carpet, it's the perfect opportunity to catch up on some zzz's!

36. The Reaction To 'Let's Go Back To School Today'

Image Source / Bored PandaThis feeling is universal, no matter how old you are. The only difference is when you're a kid it's more acceptable to lie on the floor and have a tantrum about going out of the house and having to do work. Though I suppose you still could as an adult...

37. What Happened To Her Hair?

Image Source / Bored PandaSeriously, what do these kids get up to in the span of a day to have their perfect hair arrangements look like an unbrushed bush by the end of it? She doesn't look too impressed by whatever it was that made her hair like that. Least she got some stickers on her shirt, though.

38. That Friday Feeling

Image Source / Bored PandaThis kid gets it. It's time to get the heck out of there and time to go home for the weekend. This feeling of jubilation at actually being able to leave the daily grind for a bit is definitely a feeling we can all relate to.

39. True Meme Potential

Image Source / Bored PandaIt's like the opposite of the fist-pump kid. I don't know why he feels this strongly about having to go to kindergarten, especially because he's not even been yet so doesn't know what's in store. But something has made him very, very angry about it.

40. Hide And Seek

Image Source / Bored PandaThe first day of school for this kid was so much that she had to take her shoes off and take a nap anywhere she could - and apparently that was under the desk. When it was time to go home, her parent couldn't even find her at first! Sneaky.

41. Uh Oh

Image Source / Bored PandaWhat is it with these kids and their hair becoming frazzled? Is it the stresses of the day? Do they try and pull it out because the work is too much to handle? This poor kid does NOT look impressed about her day at school. And a tidy uniform has gone out the window.

42. Wait, You're Not Coming To School With Me?

Image Source / Bored PandaThis poor kid thought that his Mommy actually attended school with him, and was seriously unimpressed on his first day when he discovered that wasn't, in fact, the case. You have to go this one alone, kid.

43. You're Telling Me I Have To Go Back?

Image Source / Bored PandaOne experience was enough for this kid who was less than impressed that he actually had to go back to school. And you can see 'I'm already fed up with this' written all over his face. No matter how cool your Spider-Man backpack is, it doesn't make it any easier.

44. Shoes On The Wrong Feet

Image Source / BBCThis girl has had such a troubling day at school that she even looks like a completely different person! Doesn't her hair look more blonde? Maybe it went lighter due to the stresses of classrooms. And somehow ended up with shoes on the wrong feet!

45. What Happened To His Poor Tie?

Image Source / UpworthyI don't think any of us liked wearing at tie at school, so we can't judge him for how it looks on the right hand picture. What's more concerning is that he seems to be missing one shoe! And fed up enough to stand on his school bag.

46. The Hair Says It All

Image Source / UpworthyOnce again, the hair reveals the truth of the day's struggles - and where has her lovely pink bow gone? She looks like she's definitely done with the educational system - they took both her bow and her smile away!

47. The Hair Tie Has Moved

Image Source / UpworthyThe time stamps on these photos remind us just how short the school days actually are in comparison to our workdays, but apparently it's still long enough to finish school looking like the right hand picture. Her hair tie has migrated to the other side of her head through the stresses of the day!

48. Oh She's Angry!

Image Source / UpworthyShe looks like she's about ready to turn into The Hulk after the day she's had! What started off with a huge, excited grin turned into a frown - but at least her uniform still looks straight and smart! But once again, the truth is revealed in the hair.

49. He Looks Ten Years Older

Image Source / UpworthyThis poor chap has been through an ordeal it would seem. Not only does he look exhausted, his smile gone and his appearance messy, it also looks like he's accidently spilled something pink on his shirt! Did he have an art class that went wrong?

50. At Least She's Still Smiling

Image Source / UpworthyAlthough there does seem a big difference in the innocent smile on the left to the rather mischievous smile on the right.. or maybe she's just trying to hold it altogether. Her clothes look a little more creased and her bow wonky after the strenuous school day she's had!
