10 Things That Summer Means For College Students

"No more school, no more books, no more teachers' dirty looks!"

10 Things That Summer Means For College Students

The ending of the school term is quickly approaching. Bust out the countdowns and the T-minuses because we are getting ready for lift off. Pretty soon, classes will be over, and we all make our travels for home.

While we get ready for summer, let's take a page out of Olaf's book with the wise words: “I've always loved the idea of summer, and sun, and all things hot.”

1. No Class

Especially those early-bird classes. Getting up at 8 or 9 in the morning and have to do this thing called thinking was no easy task. Starbucks probably didn't mind, though.

2. No Papers, No Assignments

Forget grammar. Forget punctuation and citations. Forget trying to master mind-powers to change your one-page paper to five pages.

3. No Forced, Late Hours Getting Your Life Together

Let’s get real. We are still going to stay up late, but at least it will be more on our terms. You know more nights stressing or wanting to pull your hair out. No more rushing to write a report that is, you know, an hour before it's due. Just long nights of being completely unproductive because we all know we deserve it.

4. Binge Watching

What might we be staying up late for, you might ask. Well, it's simple—Netflix. Summer renewals are certainly on their way and it's time to catch up on all that we missed ... like "Orange is the New Black." June 17, people! So you know what that means? Must. Watch. Entire. Season. In. One. Night.

5. No Late-Night Cram Sessions

Oh, how fun those were! And we all wonder why sleep suffered? At least we passed--hopefully.

6. Sunshine, Sunshine, and Ice Cream

Ah, the light! Oh wait, the weather doesn’t want us to be vampires anymore? It's so bright as it shines down. Everything so vibrant from the grass to the trees. Oh forget it, we all know we just want to work on our tans. And afterwards, a cold tasty treat to sure all your worries away into relaxation.

7. Summer Jobs

Can we say better hours, anyone? Open availability. We want stuff and stuff cost this thing called money. So, unfortunately, relaxing 24/7 and scrolling through Facebook or Instagram won't pay the bills. If it did, sign me up but until then there is money to be made.

8. Swimming

Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming. Enough said.

9. Friend Time

We still have to be adults, guys. Oh, who I'm kidding? Snapchat is going to be seeing a lot of interesting things. Oh boy, moments of eventual embarrassment ensues.

10. Family Time

Oh, how I missed you. Uhh, you saw that post? The picture? Ummm, I can explain.

So remember, guys, just a bit longer, but until then just picture Olaf on the beach and wishing that right about now that that was you.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
