This year has been my first time taking summer sessions in college and man— it been a little crazy. Our usual 10 week quarter is cut down to 6 weeks, and if you think the material gets any easier or you get any less information because of it, you're wrong.

Here are some thoughts you've probably had if you're on the same boat. (PS: this is just jabbing some fun at summer sessions, I'm very grateful to be able to take them)

1. Whaaaatt classes start tomorrow? 

Giphy

Yes, it might've only been a week since you're last final but classes do start ASAP. It catches you off-guard that classes start that quickly - you literally just got into summer mode and now it's back to lectures.

2. A midterm on week 3???

Giphy

Yes, it's true. Week 3 is usually the time I'm just getting into school mode during a regular quarter but not during the summer. By week 3, I have to learn everything.

3. A 2 hour lecture won't be that bad

Giphy

4. He really just went through 183792 slides during those two hours

5. My expectation for summer:

6. My Reality:

7. Wow, I'm actually done

Determining which schools are the biggest party schools is often subjective, but a some statistical factors you could use to make a judgement include (1) consumption, (2) drug usage, (3) strong greek life presence, (4) campus police records etc.

When a student at Auburn was recently asked, she explained: "These schools usually have, like, a super vibrant social scene, lots of Greek life (like my amazing sorority, duh!), and tons of exciting events happening all the time. I mean, we're talking about tailgates, themed parties, mixers with fraternities, and just, like, so much fun. But don't get me wrong, we still, like, study and go to class and all that. It's just that at a party school, the social life and having a good time are, like, major priorities for students."

Around the age of 12, when I was deciding whether or not to be gay, Satan appeared on my left shoulder. “Ramsssey,” he said with that telltale lisp. “Come over to our side. We have crazy partiessss.” He made a strong case, bouncing up and down on my shoulder with six-pack abs and form-fitting Calvin Kleins. An angel popped up on the other shoulder and was going to warn me about something, but Satan interrupted- “Shut up, you crusty-ass bitch!’ The angel was pretty crusty. She disappeared, and from that moment forward I was gay.

Senior Year Is Here And I Am So Not Ready For It

I was you not that long ago. I was once an eager freshman, a searching sophomore, and a know-it-all junior. Now? Now I am a risk taker. Not the type that gets you in trouble with your parents, but the type that changes your future. Senior year is exciting. A lot of awesome things come along with being the top-dog of the school, but you, right now, are building the foundation for the next 4 years that you will spend in high school. I know you've heard it all. "Get involved", "You'll regret not going to prom", "You're going to miss this". As redundant as these seem, they're true. Although I am just at the beginning of my senior year, I am realizing how many lasts I am encountering.
