4 Reasons You Should Be Taking Summer Classes

Tori Crowley

Some people may say that summer classes are stupid and annoying. You know what? They are right. However, summer classes are great at the same time.

1. Summer classes are so helpful.

College is expensive so if you can get all of your classes done early, why wouldn’t you want that? Summer classes are great at helping you get ahead in school…and ahead in life.

2. Get done early.

If you finish college early, then you can get out into the real world. Having a real job will allow you to start paying off those pesky student loans. But, hopefully you can finish early enough that they won’t be too bad.

3. Shorter.

Actually, summer classes are not that bad at all. You get a full 15 week class done in just 5-8 weeks. Who wouldn’t love that? If you just take one summer class, you still have a lot of time to spend at the beach.

4. Relaxing.

If you take online classes though, you can do the work for it on the beach or laying by the pool! You literally can do your assignments anywhere and enjoy yourself. Getting a tan and getting work done, whats better than that?

By taking summer classes, you are able to have fun and get your work done too. Especially online classes. People may think that with summer classes you do not get to enjoy your summer…not true. Plus, summer classes are usually smaller so you get to have more one-on-one attention with your professor. Have a great summer and a great college transcript by taking summer classes!

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
