8 Thoughts Had While Going Back To School In The Summer

Going back to school means starting to buckle down and go to classes. However, in Virginia, we've been having heat warnings and it's been making students miserable. Here's a couple of our thoughts on how the back to school life is going.

1. There's no parking

Because it's so hot, most people will want to drive to class if they are able. Therefore, there will be no parking.

2. I should've brought a drink to class

Again, it's so hot and I shouldve brought a water. I really don't want to have to break out my wallet for the vending machine.

3. I should've worn something different to class

It's hot and I should've shaved my legs last night so I could've worn shorts. Or better, I could've worn shorts but my leggings are too comfy to give up.

4. This route to school sucks!

Why do I live where I have to go over a hill to get to my school? Will a car hit me today?

5. Should I just drive to class?

Skip #4 and just waste gas.

6. Do I wanna go to the gym?

Do I really want to walk all the way to the campus gym that's free for students?

7. Did I bring my sunglasses?

It's really bright and I hate making eye contact with strangers.

8. Can I get sunburn within ten minutes outside?

Once again, it's so hot. I feel like bacon.

Hopefully Radford will move past this heat wave and finally start to cool off in time for September classes!

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin.
