Sadly, sometimes summer means taking summer classes.

"Sorry, I can't go out. I have to study for five hours tonight."

"Do I really need this class?"

"I should be at home right now and not in a three hour afternoon lecture."

"That's funny. The syllabus didn't mention a group project."

"Maybe the professor won't actually take up the entire three hours of this class."

"Okay, so maybe the professor will take up the entire three hours."

"I wonder what it feels like to not have homework in the summer."

"Remind me not to sign up for summer classes ever again."

"What's that- free time for myself? Never heard of it."

"It's a six week course, it cant be that accelerated, right?"

1. You WILL be late to class at some point

2. You have to reach out to friends and make plans

3. Your schedule will be a problem sometimes

4. The friends who make the time to hang out with you, are the real ones

5. Some days you'll really dread the commute and that's ok

6. Most of your money will go to food

7. Sometimes you won't dress according to the weather and you'll hate it but you'll survive

8. Sometimes you'll feel like you aren't getting the full college experience

Singles may not be the only ones that low-key hate this day....

2. Too many pictures & annoying filters

3. Everywhere is crowded.

4. Single people avoid people in a relationship.

5. Too much PDA

6. Overspending

7. Everybody shoots their shot and you might be a victim.

8. Valentine's is the perfect day in which something can go wrong.
