20 Reasons Summer Stresses Me Out
New Evolution Designs

Homework, studying and balancing responsibilities make the school year stressful. However, people don’t often think about the stresses summer brings. From getting bikini ready to traveling to new and exciting destinations, here is a comprehensive list of the reasons summer stresses me out.

1. The pressure to be super fit

2. The pressure to leave summer with a tan that will last you for the next six months

3. The pressure to get a tan, yet still wear sunscreen because protecting your skin is important

4. The pressure to find the perfect swimsuit

5. On a similar note, the pressure to wear cute clothing in general


6. The pressure to still look cute when it’s HOT AS HELL outside and all your makeup melts off and your hair sticks to the back of your neck

7. The pressure to party like you’ve literally never partied before


8. The pressure to not eat all the cold, sweet things in the freezer


9. The pressure to not overheat

10. The pressure to find the perfect summer fling


11. The pressure to do something awesome


12. The pressure to travel somewhere awesome

13. The pressure to preserve awesome moments and post them on social media

14. The pressure to maintain your lawn


15. The pressure not to sleep. A lot.

16. The pressure to work so you’re not poor during the school year

17. The pressure to make new friends

18. The pressure to get in freezing cold water

19. The pressure to not burn things when you BBQ


20. And let’s not forget the pressure to just kick back and relax!


Despite all stresses, I hope you have a great summer!

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

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.
