I remember it like it was yesterday. Going back to school after the holiday, especially the December one. If your parents had settled your school fees, it was worse for you because you would remain in school as your friends were sent packing a week later.
Being a going back to school period, Kenyans on twitter were on Tuesday discussing this iconic day and it was a refreshing and nostalgic trip down memory lane.
Here are some tweets and memes
