Things Every College Student Does In The Summer

Once summer rolls around every college student takes a huge, collective sigh in relief. No more finals. No more papers. No more 8 AM classes. We’re finally free and most of us are looking to stay that way. With little responsibility and no professors or deadlines looming over our heads we’re pretty much just immobile weirdos all summer. Here are some thing all college students are guilty of doing when the summer rolls around.

  • All the Sleeping
    • I’m not talking about a good eight hour sleep cycle. No, you’ve become nothing but a hibernating myth to your family. Oh, it’s 3 in the afternoon and you still haven’t been out of bed. Does it look like you care?
  • REAL FOOD.
    • No more of that dining hall crap. You are more than happy to scarf down all of your Mom’s home cooked food.
  • What Is Exercise?
    • Back at school you had free access to the campus gym. No you’d have to, gasp, pay for your own membership. You’re a broke college student. Ten dollars a month is just not in your budget.
  • Laundry? Laundry Who?
    • Now that you’re back home you basically revert back to your high school ways and rely on your parents for everything. If your laundry comes back clean once a week and folded on your bed you don’t ask questions.
  • Fun
    • Back at school, most of us limited our fun time. Parties were always dampened by homework but now it’s all fun, all the time.

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.

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.
