I thought summer school was going to suck. I mean...it's summer! I could be traveling, but here are six reasons for why I don't regret taking classes during the summer:

1. I get to graduate within four years

Giphy

I was super stressed after I added on a second major last quarter because literally none of the classes overlapped between majors, but now, I don't have to worry.

2. I can take my classes without worrying about the social aspect of it all

Giphy

Socializing is actually terrifying, especially since I'm an introvert. Thank God I don't have to deal with it while I'm taking summer classes.

3. I only have to take two classes

Giphy

It's so much easier than taking a full set of three or four classes.

4. I can stay in the comfort of my own home

Giphy

OK, there are actually some cons to this, but none too difficult to handle. At least I can see my family every day!

5. I feel more productive with my summer

Giphy

I obviously need to sacrifice any opportunity to work full-time or travel, but my brain is still being put to use. Hopefully, this productive mindset will last for the school year...

6. I still had time to relax

Giphy

Since summer school is only six weeks long, I still had a whole month to do whatever I wanted before summer school and stay relaxed like this hedgehog.

That being said, I'm glad that I chose to take summer school, but I also can't wait for summer school to be over.

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. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Try to make it real
You wake up in the night
With a fear so real
Spend your life waiting
For a moment that just don't come
Well don't waste your time waiting." (Badlands)
