If There's One Thing I've Learned This Summer, It's That Summers Are Not Always Fun

Summers are not always fun.

If There's One Thing I've Learned This Summer, It's That Summers Are Not Always Fun

1. Irritating Relatives- During my last week of finals, my parents planned that I will be living with my relatives in Virginia. This news brought with it a lot of excitement which included visiting a new place, meeting new people but guess what? Nothing of that sort happened. I am literally spending my vacations at a house, sitting all day long and spending time with two people who are three times my age. If given a chance, I can run out of this mundane place!

2. My first job- This is the only good thing about my summer. I started my first job at a perfume store. I wasn't ready to a do a job this early but my parents kinda wanted me to have a routine so that o can get some good experience. Also since I wasn't really happy staying with my relatives, the job gave me a chance to meet new people and to have a productive summer break.

3. No free time with family- The weather's great and there's is so much going around town but it's for the first time that my family is not around here. Summer has always been special for me and I love summertime more than anything else in this world but my first college summer is literally going so rough and my parents are sitting miles apart. Honestly, this is the worst part of studying in a different country so plan accordingly!

4. Full of Drama- Let's face it, we are not heading to theaters as much as we used to and binge-watching Netflix in pajamas is pretty comfy. The major motion picture studios are investing a lot of money and making Netflix my guilty pleasure but I guess I have to appreciate it for giving me some of the best times.

Maybe, just maybe we love summer for it represents- an exploratory time. Getting away from home brings a transformation but even homebound, we change. The absence of college is not the real reason we love summer. Maybe our love of summer lies with how unsure the season is.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
