5 Things I'm Looking Forward to this Summer

In This Article:

Spring semester is finally coming to a close. It has been a long, tiring journey, but very soon responsibilities will be over, the sun will be shining, and we can spend long nights at the beach, rather than long nights at the lib

1. Hanging out with Friends

With this semester being my second to last semester at USF, I have been more busy than ever. I've been working on finishing up higher level science class, while studying for the MCAT, and beginning to apply for medical school. Which means, I haven't had time at all to hang out with friends. I am so excited for the sleep overs, the movie nights, the brunches. Just seeing people other than in classes for once!

2. The Beach

I live in Florida, and I can't remember the last time that I went to the beach. I made it a goal to go to the beach at least twice a month this summer. I grew up near the water, and it feels so strange to not spend my summer at the beach? Plus, at the end of last summer I adopted by puppy, and I am so excited to have him experience Davis Island's dog park!

3. Reading

Reading and writing has always been a large part of my life. Thankfully, I have had the opportunity to write for the Odyssey at USF throughout my college career, and it has definitely kept me sane in times of stress. However, reading has always been my favorite pass time. I still keep on buying so many books, with no time to read. My whole library will be accompanying me to the beach this summer!

4. Sleeping in!

I am definitely a morning person. I like waking up and knowing I have the whole day ahead of me. However, I had three 8ams this semester, and it has definitely taken a toll on me. I wake up exhausted and I come home exhausted. I am 21 years old. This is no way to live. I am going to take full advantage of being able to sleep in this summer.

5. Having no responsibility

In the end, this summer I am looking forward to a lack of responsibility. I don't want to HAVE to do anything. This summer I am going to do what I WANT and nothing else. This is my summer!!

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.

While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
