7 Reasons Summer Classes Have Ruined My Life

Possibly the worst mistake I've ever made...

Of course, like everyone else, I want to graduate early so that I can start my life. However, summer classes are the only way to make that happen. Therefore, I decided to take English Literature this summer, and I have gone through three books in two weeks. Summer classes might sound easier, but they are not at all that. Hopefully, this will all be worth it.

1. I literally have time for...well...NOTHING!

I thought that I would have time to work, go to class, and still have a social life but I was wrong.

2. I am broke.

Making an hour commute everyday not only sucks the life out of my gas tank but my wallet as well.

3. This can make or break my scholarships.

I still have to make a certain GPA to maintain my scholarships. Yes, summer classes do count even if you are only taking two classes, no pressure.

4. I am socially deprived.

I mean, seriously. I had all of these amazing plans for the summer and all I have time for is work, reading, and sleep. I have to back out on plans all the time now which is not ideal.

5. Kissing my summer goodbye.

It is not possible to take summer classes and still have a fun summer. Beach? Friends? Lake days? Maybe next year...

6. Sleep? What is that?

Summer classes include an extreme amount of homework each night in order to cram a semesters worth of information into a month. Say goodbye to sleep especially if you are working on top of it.

7. The stress is real.

Summer class stress has nothing on the typical semester stress. Even though it might be fewer hours, it is still a lot more work. You have no room to slack.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
