For all the kids home from college, we've already gone through 3 months of summer. What does this mean? It means we only have about a month left until we return back to the land of exams, homework, papers, and always our favorite . . . pop quizzes.
While I love the summer and everything that comes with it such as the good weather, the beach, no classes, my summer was pretty much a bust. When you're working almost 50 hours a week, you don't really have time for the fun things in life that come with the changing season.
So, you could pretty much say 'Cuse in 1 is almost as exciting to me as when someone says free ice cream.
When I'm up at school, I am fortunate enough to not have to work. For me, after 3 or 4 classes each day, I get to relax. I go back to my house, study, do my work, clean a little and maybe make some dinner and that's that. While at home, it's almost more work than I have at school.
To be honest with you it sometimes feels as if school is the vacation from home after returning for so many months 6-12 hour work days every day, then coming home to parents who of course have to get on your case about something, then always being too tired to do anything else.
At least at school, you're pretty much guaranteed two days off per week, aka the weekend.
As the summer comes to an end, it's only going to get busier. Now is the time to go dorm room shopping; for upperclassmen to furnish their new houses off campus, students running from Target to Marshalls to Home Goods then back again to find that "perfect color rug" for their ideal Pinterest inspired room.
Once we're all back at school and settled in, there is no time to run around so it has to happen now, during the last few weeks of summer.
If you take a survey of all students around the world about wishing they were back at school or stayed in a never-ending summer, I'm pretty sure you get one pretty even response. It would be something along the lines of "by the end of the school year, I'm ready to take a break and come home.
But by the end of the summer, I'm ready to leave and go to school." I like to call this the "student's dilemma" where no one place is good for too long.
In the end, we are all sad summer is coming to an end, but I'm looking forward to going back to school and see what new adventures await.
