Wonder What Summer Feels Like To Everyone Else?
Mota

Classes are over and summer vacation has begun. Ever notice that you go through phases of loving summer at some points and then are sick of it at other times?

This article captures everybody's stages as they go through summer vacation.

First Stage: I'M FREEEEEE


You have finished the last of your finals, turned in your last paper, and now it's time to pack everything and head home! You're finally free at last. No more late night studying and no more pulling all nighters.

Second Stage: I want more!!!!

It's time to play, play, play. Going to the beach, hanging out with your hometown friends, traveling, or what ever summer plans you have, you always want more to do!

Third Stage: Now, time to work, work, work.

You're running low on money, and chances are, there's about $2 left. Time to work hard, then play hard.

Fourth Stage: The drag of summer days

Okay, it's been a good two full months of summer vacation. You're starting to run out of things to do and money to spend. You did all the typical summer activities and wondering what else there is to do.

And then you start to wonder, when is summer going to end?!

Fifth Stage: Wait, what?! Classes start next week?

It seemed like a week ago you were at the beach. Now, summer vacation is almost over. Where did your time go?!

Sixth Stage: Back at college!


All moved into your dorm room. Your schedule is all set, the cafeteria food is the same, and you are with your friends. Ahhh, it's good to be back on campus again. Until next time, summer.


Did all six stages resonate with you?

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
