Read. Eat. Sleep. Volunteer. Study. Worry about the future. It sounds like my summer vacation. There are no real breaks from school, because schools always assign homework. Perhaps if we’re good they’ll assign us a book about people having fun. Past generations of students spent their summer vacations having adventures – the stuff we only now know of through books and movies.

The fact that the value of grades is decreasing is undebatable. Sure, cheating is an issue, but it’s one that we can attempt to resolve. On the other hand, it is nearly impossible to make learning and teaching styles uniform. Some people are auditory learners, while others are visual learners. Some people learn better when studying alone, while others need someone to thoroughly explain each concept. In general, a lot of students feel as though they cannot fully represent their understanding of material on a Scantron.

While taking a break from school during your summer, you have to remember that at some point you have to get ready to go back. This is the worst part about summer, because you have to get ready for school during the time you are taking a break from it. This is frustrating to me, as it is to just about every student in the world. What is even worse about it is the fact that it is so hard to balance vacation time and work time during summer.

I know that, and you know that. We all know that, that there is little truth in every rumor and every harmless joke. Betsy* might not have done anything lewd that weekend, but it is true that she is at times, too close with the boys. Calling Michael* fat might have been a joke, but it is true that he might have gained a little weight. Yes, there is that little truth that all rumors and jokes are based on, but afterall, they are just rumors and jokes.

Ah, it’s the sweet smell of love! It’s found in the sunny summer nights to the changes found in the autumn days. It may be smelt along the cinnamon scent of winter to the fresh wind of spring. O how wonderful this feeling is. Yet, as love may take its toll on naive minds from middle school to high school, love does age as a kids age. As this love ages, it may age like wine are rot like fish. Then suddenly when love drowns, many young couples think to themselves, “Holy Crap! I forgot about high school!” “My grades are dropping!” or “I regret this now.”
