Summer Classes As Told by the Cast of 'Game of Thrones'

I don't know much, but I do know two things for sure: summer classes are coming, and season 6 of 'Game of Thrones' has now passed us by.

I know what you're wondering... What do those two things have in common?

The answer? Me.

With another round of summer bummers coming around in about a week, I'm sure to never see the light of day until fall term starts back. In essence, for me and many other poor souls out there, winter is already here. However, because of my extensive knowledge of school and this multi-million dollar show, I thought poking a little fun at our mutual misfortune would be better than waiting for the proverbial white-walkers with a frown on our faces. Ergo, I present my list of 15 things you will experience over the course of your summer studies.

1. It's the first day of class. You've accepted your fate and you log into your school's online platform with a glimmer of hope in your eyes. That glimmer of hope is gone after looking at the first syllabus. You're smothered. It's official.


2. You'll lay down to go to sleep only to realize you have an assignment due at 7AM the next morning... And you haven't started it at all...


3. At some point, your friends and family are going to wonder if you're actually trying to work yourself to death.


4. You will write the perfect discussion board, only to find that you hit submit without including any of your sources.


5. The stress of having too much on your plate will get the best of you and you'll try to parkour away from your obligations. (Too bad they'll follow you with just as much vigor as Waif.)


6. When you think you're done with this week's work and can finally rest, but next week's work is already piling up around you.


7. When your friends ask you why adhering to your deadlines is so important. ("It's summer! You shouldn't be inside doing homework!")


8. Trying to find a topic to write your main essay on like:


9. When you finish sending a low-key, sassy reply to someone who obviously didn't read this week just to set them straight:


10. People will ask you why you decided to take classes instead of working. You will scoff at their ignorance inwardly and plainly state:


11. You will forget what a shower is at some point, sulking in the shadows, hoping against hope that no one can see your filth.


12. You'll get a bit irritable too, demanding things left and right. Because no one should sit inside for as long as you have.


13. You'll get on D2L at 11:30 just to check your grades and everyone will trample you trying to finish this week's assignment before midnight. You didn't even see this coming, and now you're caught in the thick of it.


14. Looking at the other people who took summer classes when fall term rolls around and everyone's whining about how they have to go back to school:


15. In the end, you'll look back at how far you've come in a mere month and smile proudly at your progress. That's okay though - you should be proud. You're one step closer to having a degree.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
