2.) Summer Classes Are NOT a Break

classes constantly will only go so far if you can think clearly . . . which

3.) Most Jobs Won’t Allow a Summer in the

close. Your time to get together with family and friends, to spend time Santa Cruz: You Only Need ₱12k to Get a

4.) You Will Be in a Classroom – or a Job – in

Two Months
Summer only lasts for two months (if that!), and for those two months,
you are pinching every penny to save up and pay off college debt or, if
you're lucky, start off with money in your bank account after college.
Then during school, you are slamming your brain and your emotions to
stick with the classes you thought you could ace before you realized

those stressful moments is pure insanity.

5.) You Love to Relax If You Have Diabetes Do This Immediately

That childlike excitement that instinctively jumps into your head when
you hear "summer" has some weight to it. Long days in the sun, hiking
mountain trails, singing by a campfire with friends, building
relationships, finally being able to read books, and so much more are
things you love but you don't get paid for. Thus, you go without most of
them during the year. You need to keep that child mindset alive, even if
only for a weekend.

6.) Travel is “fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and

time with them. From firsthand experience of living in Indiana in the
summer and Georgia in the fall, winter and spring, I have to plan to talk

There are 7 continents, 196 countries, and about 7.3 billion people in

10.) Face it . . . Summer is AWESOME.

The workaholics can argue all they want, but you have to admit:
vacations are some of the best times and include the best memories
of your life. So go out and enjoy the last summers in college. Full-time
jobs will be there forever; vacations are waiting!
