Summer on the Quarter System

Drexel is a quarter system school, meaning while other schools have 2 terms and a summer, we have 4 terms, all year around. So while everyone else is excited to finish up their academic year, us here at Drexel are on WEEK 5 of our 10 week term. What's it like being at a co-op, quarter system school??

1. All of your friends are home while you're still writing papers and taking exams.

2. It's gorgeous outside but you have a 3 hour lecture!!!!

3. Your friends are all excited that they have time off between school and work to go take trips and hang out while you'll be here cramming for finals!!!!

4. But!!!!! you get to see your school friends for longer!!!!

5. AND take advantage of the parties for longer!

6. While enjoying what your city (Philly) has to offer!

7. AND now that no one else is in school, there's no excuse not to come visit!

8. While your friends were on break, you were preparing for the opportunities that come with a co-op school, like getting ready for your JOB!

9. But when finals roll around, none of your friends from home will want to hear about your stress.

10. And while we all know that the summer is the most important part of the year, leaving your college friends to see your home friends is always hard, because your college friends have become your family.

But you'll be back at school soon enough!!!!

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer.

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

bruce springsteen album cover born in the usa

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.
