I need summer
There are only two more weeks of school before summer officially begins. These two weeks are also the hardest to get past. The days are longer and hotter, your mind keeps drifting off to how you are going to sleep in during the summer, and you just don’t care anymore.
This is pretty much everyone’s mindset right now, but it is also the worst time to have this mindset.
There are final exams coming up that need to be studied for, but most of us simply can’t find the willpower to do so. In addition, all the teachers have somehow decided that the end of the year is a perfect time for a big paper to be due. Why can’t we just relax for the final two weeks?
We should get everything over with before the last two weeks. And what should we do the last two weeks? We can still have class and homework, but nothing painful. Everyone would appreciate the lack of big tests and 10-page papers.
Or maybe let us stay home and give us one project to work on during the last two weeks. The productivity of the students will probably be the same since tired, grumpy students don’t learn much anyway.
My point is that we deserve a break after a long year.
