Summer Classes As Told by the Cast of 'Game of Thrones'

I don't know much, but I do know two things for sure: summer classes are coming, and season 6 of 'Game of Thrones' has now passed us by.

I know what you're wondering... What do those two things have in common?

The answer? Me.

With another round of summer bummers coming around in about a week, I'm sure to never see the light of day until fall term starts back. In essence, for me and many other poor souls out there, winter is already here. However, because of my extensive knowledge of school and this multi-million dollar show, I thought poking a little fun at our mutual misfortune would be better than waiting for the proverbial white-walkers with a frown on our faces. Ergo, I present my list of 15 things you will experience over the course of your summer studies.

1. It's the first day of class. You've accepted your fate and you log into your school's online platform with a glimmer of hope in your eyes. That glimmer of hope is gone after looking at the first syllabus. You're smothered. It's official.


2. You'll lay down to go to sleep only to realize you have an assignment due at 7AM the next morning... And you haven't started it at all...


3. At some point, your friends and family are going to wonder if you're actually trying to work yourself to death.


4. You will write the perfect discussion board, only to find that you hit submit without including any of your sources.


5. The stress of having too much on your plate will get the best of you and you'll try to parkour away from your obligations. (Too bad they'll follow you with just as much vigor as Waif.)


6. When you think you're done with this week's work and can finally rest, but next week's work is already piling up around you.


7. When your friends ask you why adhering to your deadlines is so important. ("It's summer! You shouldn't be inside doing homework!")


8. Trying to find a topic to write your main essay on like:


9. When you finish sending a low-key, sassy reply to someone who obviously didn't read this week just to set them straight:


10. People will ask you why you decided to take classes instead of working. You will scoff at their ignorance inwardly and plainly state:


11. You will forget what a shower is at some point, sulking in the shadows, hoping against hope that no one can see your filth.


12. You'll get a bit irritable too, demanding things left and right. Because no one should sit inside for as long as you have.


13. You'll get on D2L at 11:30 just to check your grades and everyone will trample you trying to finish this week's assignment before midnight. You didn't even see this coming, and now you're caught in the thick of it.


14. Looking at the other people who took summer classes when fall term rolls around and everyone's whining about how they have to go back to school:


15. In the end, you'll look back at how far you've come in a mere month and smile proudly at your progress. That's okay though - you should be proud. You're one step closer to having a degree.

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. 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. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
