I get it, we are all tired of school. We are all in dire need of a break, especially after finals week. It is finally summer and it is time to relax, but first, take a maymester. I know you think I’m crazy, but hear me out as to why

1. We are all trying to graduate.

Having to take an extra semester or even year to graduate is not what anyone wants to do. So why not help yourself get ahead?

2. It is only 2 weeks long, people!

Yes, it is Monday-Friday for 4 hours and 15 minutes or even less if your professor is cool. BUT you have one whole class taken care of in two weeks and you get the rest of the summer to do whatever else.

3. It is easier!

Nine times out of ten the professor will be really cool and actually just want you to learn the material instead of having ridiculous assignments.

4. The class is smaller.

That means better one on one time with the professor, more discussion, and you actually get to know your classmates.

5. The professors are cooler!

Any teacher who is willing to take time out of their summer vacation to help you learn a whole course of material in two weeks is super passionate about their job. These are the teachers that will go above and beyond to make sure you understand and will have fun with the class since this is a topic they clearly enjoy.

6. You are still in "school mode."

I know you just got done taking finals and probably don't have too much to give, but that's ok because it is only two weeks long. You are also still in the mindset of having to do school work and haven't fully checked out into your summer state. Going ahead and taking a Maymester is so much better than waiting until June or July when you know you won't want to do anything.
