14 Thoughts Every College Student Has While Taking Summer Classes

Ah, summer! Time for soaking up the sun, hitting the beach with friends, achieving that perfect golden tan, and oh yeah homework. Summer classes can definitely put a damper on your summer mood but are a necessity that many of us must endure. It may seem like everyone else is having the best summer ever while you've got your nose stuck in a book. But its worth it! Get ahead on your credits and GET OUT IN FOUR YEARS. And while yes it's a necessity, that doesn't mean it isn't a pain! Here are thoughts all college students have who are enrolled in summer classes.

The class is online, I can totally do this

Easy peasy lemon squeezy! Online classes are such a joke. I don't have to go into a boring lecture and can do it all on my own time! Lets do this

Wait that means I have to manage my time and teach myself

Soooo maybe this is going to be harder than I thought. All these different deadlines and due dates are going to add up quick! PLUS no lecture means I am left to my own devices to understand this material.

Seriously assignments are due twice a week?!

Okay this just seems a bit excessive. I mean don't they realize that it's SUMMER?! Cut me some slack here please. Summer is for sleeping in and sitting poolside not school work.

AND there are multiple assignments due on those days?!

Giphy

You're kidding! I have three assignments due on Thursday that each have 30 questions oh and then just three days later I have four more assignments due. Is summer over yet?

It's fine. Everything's fine.

I paid hundreds of dollars to take this class, I just gotta . suck it up, do the work and it'll all be over soon.

Google is officially my new BFF

Ah the internet; home to a plethora of information and entertainment has come to my rescue once again.

Okay maybe this isn't Soooooooo bad

Hey- I think I'm finally starting to get the hang of it! Typical me, getting all worked up and worried over nothing.

Never mind! Its BAD

This is impossible. There- I've said it, I give up!

I am NEVER going to use this

To be fair, I'm pretty sure we have all thought this during some class in our academic career. But come on, I am a business major, why in the world do I need to know the acceleration and momentum of an object?!

I can do this only (#) weeks left

Gotta 'Just Keep Swimming, swimming, swimming' Wow I want to go to the beach

WAIT THE FINAL IS IN PERSON?!

Giphy

This is quite possibly the worst thing that has ever happened. Not to be dramatic or anything, but I am fully prepared to fail.

I've got this

Giphy

Worried? Me? Never! I've just spent the last ten weeks of my summer doing this stuff. Time to go knock this final out of the park

Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeedom

CLASSES ARE OVER! SUMMER TIME HERE I COME

And now time to move back to school

Giphy

Well so much for a "Summer break" But now its time to head back to college and see all my friends again!

All in all, summer classes can be a bit of a bear, but we all suffer through it. Piles of homework and quizzes probably aren't what you pictured for your summer, and yet here we are. But it isn't impossible, you can get through this.

Until next summer!

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

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.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.
