5 Things I Will Miss About the Summer After Senior Year

Emily Farrell

The summer after my senior year of high school was probably my most memorable summer yet. It was the perfect mix of freedom of safety.

You used to have a set school schedule and have a bunch of free time and now you have almost every minute of the day scheduled to a tee. You relate more to the world of LinkedIn than the world of Snapchat, Instagram, and Twitter. Your thoughts consist of internships, future career goals, meal planning, and making a grocery list. The mere thought of becoming a responsible adult used to scare you senseless and now you wouldn't have it any other way.

It's halfway through the semester and you're sailing through your classes, so you decide to take up some extracurriculars and a job because of you're well managed and open schedule. Slowly, you notice your two-hour library trips turning into seven-hour days, you can't pay attention to the customers at work, because you're nose deep in a notebook cramming for tomorrow's COM exam, and extracurriculars stray further and further from priority. Yes, you have a bad case of mid-semester overcommitment, usually defined as the plague among college students but fortunately, you can prevent it.
