Summer on the Quarter System

Drexel is a quarter system school, meaning while other schools have 2 terms and a summer, we have 4 terms, all year around. So while everyone else is excited to finish up their academic year, us here at Drexel are on WEEK 5 of our 10 week term. What's it like being at a co-op, quarter system school??

1. All of your friends are home while you're still writing papers and taking exams.

2. It's gorgeous outside but you have a 3 hour lecture!!!!

3. Your friends are all excited that they have time off between school and work to go take trips and hang out while you'll be here cramming for finals!!!!

4. But!!!!! you get to see your school friends for longer!!!!

5. AND take advantage of the parties for longer!

6. While enjoying what your city (Philly) has to offer!

7. AND now that no one else is in school, there's no excuse not to come visit!

8. While your friends were on break, you were preparing for the opportunities that come with a co-op school, like getting ready for your JOB!

9. But when finals roll around, none of your friends from home will want to hear about your stress.

10. And while we all know that the summer is the most important part of the year, leaving your college friends to see your home friends is always hard, because your college friends have become your family.

But you'll be back at school soon enough!!!!

Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.
