14 Thoughts Every College Student Has During The Summer

In about a month, we will all be moving back in and resuming our lives at our colleges. We will be reunited with our best friends, our coaches, our home away from home. Summer is great. You get to hang out with old friends and take a break from your usual routine. As the summer is beginning to wind down, here are 14 thoughts every college student has during the summer.

1. Where did I put...?

Everyone talks about moving into college, but no one talks about moving everything out. I accumulated a lot throughout the year and had barely enough room to shove it into my car and get it home. It was a very disorganized process, and I still haven't totally unpacked.

2. I don't want to go to work, but I need the money.

Summer is supposed to be fun and full of traveling and adventure, right? Wrong. You need the money for all your Taco Bell runs and all the food bills you accumulate quickly.

3. Why did I think summer classes were a good idea...?

They sounded like a good idea in the spring, but now it's summer and you have to do actual homework. But just think about it; it's one less class you have to stress about in the fall or spring.

4. I wish my college friends lived closer.

It seems like all my best friends are at least a good hour away from me. Plus, we are all busy trying to make money so there's no time for that drive.

5. I'm going to miss my dogs when I go back.

They are going to another whopping eight months without me in the house again, and they don't even understand why. How can I do this too them again?

6. Why is it raining everyday? It's supposed to be summer!

This one is probably only applicable to the bipolar state of Ohio. We could really use some sun here.

7. Where did all this construction come from?

It seems like every other street corner and highway has bright traffic cones and lane closures.

8. I wonder how many shows on Netflix I can finish before I go back?

Netflix: "Are you still watching?"

9. Why is no one posting/tweeting anything?

Oh, that's because I was just on Instagram and Twitter 30 seconds ago...

10. I spend more money on food than anything else.

*Checks bank account* Wow I really need to stop eating out so much.

11. I can't believe I used to dread the end of summer.

Yes, summer is fun, but I can't wait to be back on campus with everyone.

12. What day is it?

But for real, what did I even do yesterday?

13. I've really missed my family.

It's so nice being able to catch up and spend time with family after being gone for over half of the year.


14. Is it time to go back yet??

I miss my home away from home and all my friends.

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
