A few months ago when I pictured my upcoming summer, I saw myself working a lot and hanging out with friends in my free time. Now that summer's here, I'm taking two summer courses, working, and hardly hanging out with friends. Although this isn't my ideal summer, I know it will pay off in the long run. Summer courses have me feeling some type of way, and here are some GIFs to show you what I mean by that.

1. When you sleep through your alarm and have 10 minutes to get ready

Who thought that having 9 am classes in summer would be okay?

2. When you think you have enough time, but then you hit traffic

Silly me, I forgot that summertime meant construction on every single road on my way to school.

3. When you walk into class and realize you left your homework at home

Why is homework worth 30% of my overall grade, anyway?

4. When your lunch spills all over your car

The hanger has never been so real.

5. When your professor says you'll have a break halfway through your three-hour lecture but then changes his mind

I kid you not––this is exactly how I reacted.

6. When you go over three chapters in one lecture and have no idea what you learned

I'm sad to admit that this happens far too often.

7. When you finish classes for the week but remember you'll be drowning in homework all weekend

"Accelerated summer courses" is synonymous with "no life whatsoever."

8. When your friends ask if you want to go adventuring with them but you have to study

This is one of the many times when I have to remind myself that it will be worth it in the end.

9. When you finish your first summer course only to remember your second one starts in a week

Organic Chemistry 2, here I come!
