Dear Student,

If you are in the same position as me and are taking summer classes, you may be dreading the fact that you have to spend your summer vacation inside while taking classes instead of enjoying your time off from school. As spring semester is coming to a finish, you overhear your peers discuss their plans for the summer and the excitement to finally have a break. Meanwhile, you are starting to think that maybe signing up for summer classes wasn’t the best idea after all.

I am here to encourage those who are taking summer classes like myself that you shouldn’t feel this way. You will still have a summer while getting some classes out of the way so you do not have to take them in future semesters. It may not seem like it right now, but it is definitely a good thing and will pay off. Actually, a lot of college students decide to take classes over the summer because it allows them to either retake a class, get ahead, or prepare for their future semesters and what other classes they will want to take later down the road.

I encourage everyone who is deciding to take summer classes to stay motivated and remember that you are making a decision that will definitely pay off. Also, still make time to enjoy your summer, because everyone deserves that. To all of the students who are taking summer classes or taking the summer off, enjoy. You totally deserve it.

Sincerely,

A student taking summer courses
