6 Struggles of the Early Summer Season

May is a weird month. College students are done with finals, and all other students can see summer break right on the horizon. There a few really warm and sunny days sprinkled into the week, but the weather is still extremely unpredictable. Is it supposed to be spring? Pre-summer? No one is really sure. But here are some signs you are just as confused as we are.

1. Making plans that rely on the weather never work out

Planning to go to the beach in a couple of days because the weather app says it's going to be 85 and sunny? Have fun at the movies when it turns out to be 65 and cloudy.

2. You're not even sure what your skin tone is

You've gotten a couple of good tanning days in, but they've been interrupted by those cold, cloudy days in-between. You're not ready for that super tan foundation you own, but at the same time your foundation from winter isn't quite right either. Help.

3. Never being dressed appropriately

The amount of times I have left my house in a rain jacket and leggings just to have it end up being a really nice day.

4. Boredom


When planning for summer break with all my hometown friends we had visions of beach days, fire pits, nights in the city and mini road trips. But with work and unpredictable weather, we've resorted to lots of $5 movie nights.

5. Still looking for that summer job

Summer for college students mean scowering their local towns for any business that's looking for seasonal work. Even though summer has technically started, a lot of us are still searching for change in our couches and cars.

6. Saving listicles on "fun summer ideas"

You're dreaming of those consistently nice days that are soon to come. We can only hope all those articles can be put to use soon.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

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.
