The feels of death ... a.k.a. summer school.
There are two words that students hate to hear from their adviser: summer school. Due to the fact you have changed your major more than you can count and want to graduate sooner than later, went out too many Thursday nights and bombed that class, or hit the snooze button on your cell phone more than you can count for that early class. Going to summer school feels like an upright punishment to yourself. Here is how summer school is explained by Meredith Grey.
1. When your adviser slowly mumbles the words summer school.
As you sit there and think why is this put on me...? What have I done to be punished to get maybe a month off just to go back to classes for either four or eight weeks. Is graduating early or on time really worth my summer vacation?
2. Selecting the class you want to take and your adviser says other wise.
She/he tells you to wait to take that class during the fall semester even though you cannot stand that professor's guts because you have had them before. And you start to beg your adviser that you can switch that class and rearrange your schedule because of that professor.
3. Day 1 of summer school.
Somehow you actually know that person from high school or have seen them around your school and you are hoping that you guys can be partners in class or lab together. Because you do not want to sit next to that stinky guy who never showers for that early morning class.
4. Summer school is not close to being half way over and you are not okay.
You wake up in the morning and think to yourself, "I'm fine, summer school is fine, I'm fine," as you are literally dreading getting out of bed. Then you get on social media and you see your friends Snapchats from the previous night or Instagram of tbt of you at the beach two years ago.
5. When it's halfway over.
As you wake up and realize that you are half way done and it is the best feeling of your life in this moment. You think to yourself that you have made it this far, you can make it the other half. That day you literally skip the coffee because you are halfway done with it.
6. The final test for summer school.
Seeing all that you have to study in one night before the final, and you feel like you have already failed before it began. You have forgotten how many pages of notes that you actually took in that class over that four week period.
7. Ace the final and celebrate
After endless hours of studying for the final, you ace it, give it to the professor, and run out the school. Needless to say, you end up at the closest Mexican restaurant to celebrate the end of terror and the rest of your summer break.
