Thoughts On Summer Classes In South Carolina

There are those who have no issue with these summer pastimes:

"I took 15 hours last summer in Lancaster, and it was the easiest semester of my life!" - Double Major, Marketing and Management

"Summer school is for people who hate having to deal with literally everyone. Also, parking is way easier to deal with, so maybe USC should just have summer school year round." - English

"It's actually not too bad." - Double Major, International Studies and Finance


And then there's everyone else:

"The immediate sense of regret right before your first exam." - Biomedical Engineering

"Holy s**t, it's hot outside." - Finance

"I'm only here because I failed basic math." - Double Major, Math and Computer Science (Might be changing soon.)

"Why are there grad students in this class?" - English

"If only there could be this much parking all year round." - Double Major, International Studies and Finance

"I'm taking Physics, and I still can't even." - Physics

"Oh girl, I just struggled." - Marine Science

"And this is chilly." - Biology

"What begins as the most common excuse to stay in Columbia, soon becomes a regrettable decision. Better to get a job where you make money and connections than spend money on a class that will ultimately tank your GPA." - Exercise Science

"Why did I do this again?" - Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

"Four weeks...only four weeks." - Accounting

"Wanting to vomit a little when you say stuff like, 'Can't lay out I've got class,' but then you do anyway. YOLO." - Elementary Education

"Downtown is dead. Why are there parents in the bar?" - Political Science

"I haven't taken any, but my initial concern would be that it's way too hot at Carolina to arrive at summer class without sweat stains." - Sport and Entertainment Management

"Hmmm." - Biochemical Engineering

"It's hotter than two rats having sexual relations in a wool sock." - Marketing

"They help to perfect your writing and grammar skills, since most all you do is type up emails and write on discussion boards. You still have to take the course evaluation survey, but sometimes, the system lets you get it out of the way even before the course starts!" - Sport and Entertainment Management

"Taking summer classes caused an awkward, yet encouraging, high five with my advisor and six weeks of counting down the days till classes ended." - Marine Science

"Working hard during the summer, so I can be lazy the rest of the year." - Journalism

"This video." - Exercise Science

"Summer classes are like going to the pool. You're all great expectations and excitement at first. Then you jump in and realize the water is warm, un-refreshing and there's some kid who won't stop splashing you in the face. And then you rub your eyes and lose a contact. And you forgot a towel." - Hospitality Management

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
