What It Feels Like When Someone Asks About Your Summer Plans

However, such dreams only last so long before reality sets in and we realize that more is expected of us tireless Ivy League students during these upcoming months.
1. It can be startling when someone pushes to know how you’re spending your summer months when you’re still wondering what happened last summer.
2. Similarly, it’s stressful when relatives press you about your academic pursuits past, present and future over winterim, when all you want to do is relax.
3. And how you are handling planning for a summer of tedious work and accomplishment?
4. Because you’ll run out of your last final like a prisoner out of jail with no intention of working ever again…well, at least for a couple of weeks.
5. And you’re heading for a summer full of swimming,
6. And relaxing.

No matter where or how you spend your summer, there’s always something to look forward to in Hanover.
