8 Times Ron Swanson Summed Up Summer Classes

Taking summer online classes can be necessary for some students, like those with very difficult or highly structured majors who don't want to take full schedules every semester. These classes can also be for the bored mind who wants to try as many different subjects as possible. Maybe you need to take this range to decide on a major, or maybe it's just for fun. If you are like me, you have been forced into taking additional summer classes just to stay on track and not be constantly stressed out all the time. This is the journey of being forced to take summer classes, as told by Ron Swanson.


1. Your professor trying to start off the class with optimism.

A lot of summer professors have a talent for giving you hope that the class won't ruin your summer plans. Oh how quickly that hope gets dashed.

2. When you realized an hour before that your online homework is due.

You are locking yourself in a room for the next 59 minutes and cranking this sucker out.

3. When the directions for an assignment make no sense.


You've already emailed the professor three times with other questions, so you'll just have to figure this one out on your own. This would sound a lot better if you could talk in person when the questions just string together.

4. Halfway through the summer and this class.


As much as you love the season of summer, the sooner it ends the sooner you can stop this required class that feels pointless.

5. Becoming better at avoiding homework as the summer progresses.

Dishes and laundry are important too.

6. When your computer decides to stop working when you need it most.


If the computer had waited five more seconds to crash, you would have had time to save the assignment.

7. On the weekends, enjoying life in between assignments.


Don't forget that quiz due Sunday night though.

8. When you finally finish the class and submit your last assignment.


It's over. You can breath again. Just a week off then the real classes start back up again, but you will enjoy every second of it.

Summer classes are good for making up credits that wouldn't fit into the semester. However, between working, accomplishing adult tasks, and trying to take advantage of summer activities, I would really take into consideration if the summer classes are worth it. Wouldn't it be nice to just have a couple months where you never have an assignment to turn in before a deadline?

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
