Signs You're Sick Of Summer
Kendar Paro

Remember that dreaded second week of May? Hell, I mean, finals week. Remember how badly you wanted to lay on a beach and fall asleep to the sound of the waves crashing and the smell of sand and sunscreen, hugged by the warmth of the sun? Being stuck in the crowded library with those big windows did nothing but cause an intense yearning for everything summer.

But now it's August. These 90-degree days we all longed for back in May are getting old, and the humidity is nobody's friend (especially not my hair's). It's been three and a half months of watching Netflix until 2 a.m., waking up at noon, moseying along to the beach or pool, working and vacationing. Now, all you can think about is how many days there are left until it's over.

Here are a few signs that should tell you that you're over Summer 2015:

1. You feel lazy and unproductive when you end up eating breakfast in the afternoon.

Sure you finished the entire "Friends" series on Netflix last night, but you find yourself actually missing the days you woke up, actually changed out of your pajamas and possibly even went to a class or two before 2 p.m.

2. Going to the beach is too much effort.
You're over getting sand everywhere, dealing with knotty beach hair and being sunburned.

3. You switch from SPF 4 tanning oil to slathering yourself with SPF 100.
You even wear a hat and avoid direct sunlight when you're outside. You'd rather be pale and pasty than risk getting another awful sunburn in hopes of gaining a tan.

4. You find yourself sitting inside on a nice day.

You groan when the forecast is 87 degrees with mostly sunny skies. It's too hot. You're over sweating every time you walk outside. Or worse, burning the hell out of your hands when you touch the steering wheel every time you have to go somewhere. It's not worth it. A/C, please.

5. You go shopping and buy sweaters.

Or any type of winter clothing. How great was it when your outfit could be leggings and a big comfy sweater? Easy. Stylish. Comfortable. The idea of crop tops, shorts and flip flops makes your stomach turn. Uggs, please.

6. You begin to despise going to work.

Remember at the beginning of the summer when you were all like, "I'm going to work every day and have so much money." Well, you probably spent it gradually on summer festivities and being there only reminds you that you are still not back on campus.

7. You can no longer function on iced coffee.
You miss the days when it wasn't too hot to order a cappuccino with an extra shot, or a peppermint mocha to warm your bones and wake you up. Your vanilla iced coffee from Dunkin' used to be refreshing, but now you realize you might as well just drink a bottle of water.

8. You reorganize the pile of your college stuff a few times.
You think, Maybe the more school stuff I buy and time I spend putting it into neater piles will make the end of the summer go faster.

9. You get excited when the temperature drops below 70 degrees at night.

Finally, it's cool enough that you can wear those cute pants you bought for school and maybe even sweatshirt or cardigan.

10. You are counting down the days until move-in day.
If you're moving in Aug. 30, there are a mere 13 days left!

My mom hates that I am counting down the days until school starts. She knows that once I am back in school, I'll be complaining about how much work I have and how busy I am. It seems we always want what we don't have at the moment. But appreciate the warm summer days and sunshine while they last because those -20 degree wind chills will be back and biting before you know it!

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.
