This summer, sophomore Treven Rasmussen is in Rel C 200, Econ 110, and a deep existential depression. Rasmussen thought that summer classes would be “an easy way to to get ahead” in his degree, but had not considered the effect that it would have on his social life. “I had to miss my family’s 4th of July barbecue, my friend’s trip to California last weekend, and even the pick-up soccer game that my roommate started.”

Rasmussen has been perpetually in classes since last August, but claims that his workload really only started weighing on him once he saw his friends having more fun than him. “When we were all suffering through classes during the school year I didn’t have a problem with it,” he said. “But it’s unfair that other people are enjoying their summer.”

Rasmussen’s roommate weighed in saying, “Well at least taking summer classes hasn’t changed his dating life, because he didn’t have one to begin with.”

At press time, Rasmussen was longingly gazing out of a window while ignoring his religion professor.
