I only have about 3 weeks until the semester is over, which means summer is rapidly approaching. However, it does not feel like summer is actually around the corner because of the thousand assignments professors decide to assign all at once. You also have the bipolar weather mixed with the heightened allergies coming into play. While the season of hot weather and no school is near and in sight, it still feels like ages away. Summer is so close, and yet so far away.

First, we have the professors who decide to assign multiple quizzes, tests, and homework assignments last minute because they realize they do not have enough grades from the students to give a fair grade. The last few weeks are the absolute worst since the assignments seem to never end, so it feels just like the semester will never end.

Second, this is the time of year where the weather just can not seem to make up its mind. One day it will near 80 degrees and the next day it will be 30 degrees with a chance of snow. Some days it will feel like summer is actually close and that the semester actually will be ending, but on those days where it still feels like winter, you quickly forget that summer is only a few weeks away.

Lastly, on the days where it is actually warm outside and you can feel that summer is coming, those are usually also the days where allergies seem to be at its peak. Though I crave the days where I can walk outside without a jacket, that just means instead of a jacket you need to bring tissues to cope with your allergies. There are days where my allergies limit what I can or cannot do and end up bedridden with hundreds of tissues surrounding me. This makes the semester feel 10 times longer than it is, since I am usually just stuck in bed not doing anything.
