14 Thoughts Every College Student Has During The Summer

In about a month, we will all be moving back in and resuming our lives at our colleges. We will be reunited with our best friends, our coaches, our home away from home. Summer is great. You get to hang out with old friends and take a break from your usual routine. As the summer is beginning to wind down, here are 14 thoughts every college student has during the summer.

1. Where did I put...?

Everyone talks about moving into college, but no one talks about moving everything out. I accumulated a lot throughout the year and had barely enough room to shove it into my car and get it home. It was a very disorganized process, and I still haven't totally unpacked.

2. I don't want to go to work, but I need the money.

Summer is supposed to be fun and full of traveling and adventure, right? Wrong. You need the money for all your Taco Bell runs and all the food bills you accumulate quickly.

3. Why did I think summer classes were a good idea...?

They sounded like a good idea in the spring, but now it's summer and you have to do actual homework. But just think about it; it's one less class you have to stress about in the fall or spring.

4. I wish my college friends lived closer.

It seems like all my best friends are at least a good hour away from me. Plus, we are all busy trying to make money so there's no time for that drive.

5. I'm going to miss my dogs when I go back.

They are going to another whopping eight months without me in the house again, and they don't even understand why. How can I do this too them again?

6. Why is it raining everyday? It's supposed to be summer!

This one is probably only applicable to the bipolar state of Ohio. We could really use some sun here.

7. Where did all this construction come from?

It seems like every other street corner and highway has bright traffic cones and lane closures.

8. I wonder how many shows on Netflix I can finish before I go back?

Netflix: "Are you still watching?"

9. Why is no one posting/tweeting anything?

Oh, that's because I was just on Instagram and Twitter 30 seconds ago...

10. I spend more money on food than anything else.

*Checks bank account* Wow I really need to stop eating out so much.

11. I can't believe I used to dread the end of summer.

Yes, summer is fun, but I can't wait to be back on campus with everyone.

12. What day is it?

But for real, what did I even do yesterday?

13. I've really missed my family.

It's so nice being able to catch up and spend time with family after being gone for over half of the year.


14. Is it time to go back yet??

I miss my home away from home and all my friends.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
