6 Reasons Why I Dislike Summer Vacation

For every student across the country, summer vacation is the best time of the year. With no school and more free time, summer is everything a college student can hope for. There are many students who love summer vacation, but there are some students who don't necessarily feel the same way. One of those students is me. Don't get me wrong, summer is a great time for students to spend some quality time with their friends and family, as well as have fun in the sun. I sure as hell can use a few months to relax and come back to school with energy, but summer and I have a 'hot and cold' relationship. I don't hate summer, but I simply dislike it. Here are my reasons:

1. The Heat


I can honestly say I'd rather freeze in the middle of winter than boil in the middle of summer. The heat is so unbearable that I am actually considering about moving to Alaska. I am not a fan of summer heat, and the summer's heat is not a fan of me!

2. Summer gets boring after a while.

Since we are all out of school our schedules are filled with free time. Free time is good if you have plans 24/7, but after a while it gets a little boring because there is no routine. I have been wanting to go back after one month of summer –– not even!

3. There's more to do in fall than there is in summer.

Going to faster horses is fun and all, but there is more activities to do in fall than there is in summer, especially in Michigan. You can go to the cider mill, the pumpkin patch, haunted houses or downtown. I bet summer can't top that!

4. There's no holiday movie for summer.

There's no holiday movie in summer because there are more holiday's in the fall and winter! I mean who doesn't love holiday movies like "The Nightmare Before Christmas" or "Frosty the Snowman!" I sure as hell do! I know that summer does contain one holiday, which would be the Fourth of July, but I highly doubt that Tim Burton made a children's movie about celebrating America's Independence. Summer is no match to fall and winter when it comes to the classics.

5. There are more fashion trends in the fall than there is for summer.


If there is one thing I live for is something that I have always loved since I was a little girl it's fashion! When you compare summer to fall, summer loses the race when it comes to the latest trends. The hot and steamy season comes with maybe two or three trends, but in fall the list never ends. Honestly, who can resist blanket scarves and booties? Not me!

6. After not even two months of summer, I miss school and want to go back.

After months of boredom and no regular routine, my only wish is to go back to school! Oakland University became my home away from home and I am excited to go back with the energy to help me kick semester booty! I think that is the one thing I am grateful for summer. Summer vacation gives all of us a chance to relax and regain our motivation, which we lost from a year of non-stop exams and final projects. Now that I have had all the time I needed to recharge, I am ready to go back to school and continue my journey to graduation!

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.

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.
