There comes a time in a young person’s life where they have to take a summer class. Whether its just a one credit one to push you to graduation, or it’s a full load, so that you don’t fall behind come fall, a summer class can have its good times as well as it’s bad times. Here are some of the pros and cons concerning taking summer classes.

Pro: You can show up to class in real deal pajamas because there are not half as many people on campus to judge you.

Con: Since there are less people on campus, there are less people to hang out with or ask help from when the class actually starts to get hard.

Pro: Somehow you find a way to go out almost every day and still earn an “A.”

Con: You go to class every day with a killer headache and planning out routes to run to the bathroom in case throw up ensues.

Pro: You learn the material easier because you are forced to see it almost every single day for six weeks.

Con: You are forced to go to class every single day in the week, when you are so used to the Tuesday and Thursdays only during the fall and spring semesters.

Pro: There are no real distractions that happen during the summer besides keeping up a social presence.

Con: Once fall rolls around, everything feels overwhelming because now you transition from chilling to being in clubs, taking a full load, and everything else that the normal school year holds.

So, summer term really is not that bad at all. Actually some will say that it helps your GPA, and takes away the distractions and nonsense that fall and spring have. But, it can also prove to have some hardships, but its nothing that us college students can’t handle.
