6 Reasons You Should Never Take Classes During The Summer
Lauren Yu

I am two weeks away from being done with summer classes, but holy crap...I am starting to regret my decision to take classes this summer. Here's my advice to all college students: do not take summer classes just to "get my requirements done with faster" or "to graduate early."

1. It is SO hot. This summer has truly been one filled with icecream and headaches.

2. You feel like you’re the only one suffering with midterms, finals, and papers because everyone else is on vacation.

3. Speaking of vacation, it is sad when your social media is filled with people posting about how much fun they’re having in Europe while the only thing you’re seeing is your textbook.

4. The classes are at least two hours long at least two times during the week. That is way too long.

5. Summer classes are SO expensive. Each credit is like a hundred bucks.

6. It’s hard to find time to have fun when your professors assign you tons of assignments.

Yes, you will be done with summer classes in a few weeks, but ask yourself: is it worth it?

In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.

Some universities only get two or three days off for Thanksgiving break. Or, if your university is like mine, you get the whole week off go go home. A whole week off is a long time. I'm not complaining, because I'd rather have a whole week off than three days, but there is a lot of down time. Here are some ideas as to what you can do to get the most out of your Thanksgiving break.
