6 Thoughts Every UCR Student Has In June

Besides, "I'm way too tired for this"

6 Thoughts Every UCR Student Has In June
Jocelyn Catano

As the end of Spring Quarter is coming closer, a million things are running through are minds. Other than the fact that we are thinking of sleep and food more often than we would like to admit, these are just some of the other thoughts that can cross our minds as the quarter ends.

1. When will this quarter end?!

At this point, with one week left and finals, all of us are itching to be out of the classroom. It feels like we should have ended classes a long time ago.

2. It's getting hot here

Besides the fact that we have random days that are cold and cloudy, it is starting to get pretty hot. Which means no seating anywhere inside because no one wants to be sitting in the heat.

3. When are my finals again?

Even though we know finals week is coming up and the end of classes are near, it does not mean that we are ready for each final. We need all of the time that we can get to prepare for these finals. [Enter panic mode.]

4. Do I really need to take summer classes?

If you're not graduating, or even if you are, summer classes are not fun. It's hot and it's a busy 5 weeks. But you do get ahead or catch up on the classes you need in order to graduate.

5. I really don't need to take summer classes

Until you look back at the way this year went or after checking your degree requirements. Then you really need them. Like really need them.

6. Do I really have to go home this summer?

And if you don't have to take summer classes, and you aren't excited to go home, going home seems like the worst thing to do at this point. No friends from school or fun college activities for a few months. Even if you are escaping from the campus heat, or not, sometimes going home means giving up a lot of what you are used to while being at school.

What are some of your thoughts at the end of the year?

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?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
