This year has been my first time taking summer sessions in college and man— it been a little crazy. Our usual 10 week quarter is cut down to 6 weeks, and if you think the material gets any easier or you get any less information because of it, you're wrong.

Here are some thoughts you've probably had if you're on the same boat. (PS: this is just jabbing some fun at summer sessions, I'm very grateful to be able to take them)

1. Whaaaatt classes start tomorrow?

Giphy

Yes, it might've only been a week since you're last final but classes do start ASAP. It catches you off-guard that classes start that quickly - you literally just got into summer mode and now it's back to lectures.

2. A midterm on week 3???

Giphy

Yes, it's true. Week 3 is usually the time I'm just getting into school mode during a regular quarter but not during the summer. By week 3, I have to learn everything.

3. A 2 hour lecture won't be that bad

Giphy

4. He really just went through 183792 slides during those two hours

5. My expectation for summer:

7. Wow, I'm actually done

It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
