summer summer!!

As much as I'm going to miss this place I am beyond excited to go home for summer!! I cannot wait to catch up on sleep, have a car, not have to share a room/bathroom,see all my old friends, spend time with my family and everything else that comes along with summer. College really is so much fun and i have made some amazing new friends this year and learned a lot about myself but college can also just drive you insane. I can't stand not getting enough sleep and feeling like I'm always sick because of the lack of sleep or the constant close contact with other people. Also of course it's going to be super nice to not have to worry about the heavy load of homework for three months. I am especially excited to see my family and friends. I'm really close to my family and not being able to see them everyday is something it took me awhile to get use to. I'm actually still not use to i just deal with it so i cant wait to just relax with them. Also I miss my best Friend as well. My best friend is basically my sister too because I've known her since i was a toddler and she has lived with my family on and off for a few years because of her family issues. Plus I'm lucky because most of the Friends I've made here, live somewhat close to me back home. I'm also really excited for summer because I have never had a job before and this summer I may have a job at Vera Bradley, which is also one of my favorite stores. I'm excited to see what it is like to have a job and to make my own money. This summer I am also very VERY excited for country thunder!!!! It truly is some of the best days ever. Its just a great atmosphere being with a lot of my Friends, listening to country music and going crazy. I am really happy with what I have learned this year at college and all i have experienced but I can't wait to be home with my family and Friends because there is just something about being home that is so comforting.

choose your own topic-choosing classes

I chose classes yesterday and it is probably one of the most stressful things ever and I think a lot of other students would agree with me! Along with a lot of other students I'm sure, I had this whole schedule written out and ready to go and then checking those classes last week, a lot of them weren't open. My major is psychology and all but one class out of all the classes I have to take for that major were full. Then on top of that, the gen. eds that I had planned on taking were also full! So now I have to take harder gen. eds that I do not understand and could affect my GPA even though those classes have absolutely nothing to do with my major. I believe this is absolutely ridiculous. I think they need to set up a different system when it comes to picking classes. I went to complain about this, asking what exactly comes into play when who chooses at what time. They told me that it goes off of your completed credit hours. I took 14 first semester and then 16 this semester which is why I am choosing so much later then a lot of people I know, since they took 16 first. I think that's a good way to set it up except for the fact that some people who I know are failing there classes and barely trying yet they are choosing way before me. Which to me doesn't make sense. I think that a student who has a higher GPA and tries harder should choose classes before a student who has maybe 2 more credit hours and is going to pick classes and just slack off in them. I know I am not the only student who is disappointed and stressed out when it comes to choosing classes. It's another thing to add to your stress. I believe grades and GPA should come into play when deciding who chooses classes at what time therefore they are not punished.
