Believe it or not, this semester is coming to an end.
Never mind the papers, projects and finals, summer is around the corner and that means one thing, relaxation for all!
Whether you're looking forward to the warm weather, blue skies, or sand in between your toes, summer has something in store for everyone,even if you plan on working a lot.
Summer is something that Sacred Heart students are anticipating.
Currently, students are searching for the perfect summer job and planning endless nights of fun with close friends.
"Every summer I go back to my old job. For the past few years I've been working as a dock master at this marina in my town. It's actually my third year there. I love being out on the water. Working there isn't going to be anything like school work, it should be relaxing. Plus it's right by my house. In a way, it's extremely convenient especially if I'm running late," said Matthew De Rosa, a sophomore from Northport, NY
"I can't wait until the summer. I'm very stressed out between papers and finals. I'll be in Italy studying abroad. I've been looking forward to this for awhile. It's something different, and interesting. Taking classes in a different country should be an experience. Aside from the actual work, I can't wait to sight-see. I'm a history major so I think enjoy spending my time there," said Mariel Palombo, a sophomore from Yorktown, NY
"I love surfing, when I think of the summer, I automatically think of surfing. Most college students that I know go to work, then party like crazy at night. Going to work in the summer is fun though. I'm a lifeguard. I just sit on the beach all day and get a tan. It's amazing. I can't complain. Most of my friends have the same job or do something outside. I think by being outside in the sun, you're more likely to enjoy your job. That's why working in the summer isn't so bad." Eileen Transki, a junior from Hofstra University.
"Well, I work at a florist in the summer so you could imagine what its like to be cooped up in a tiny little place. Hopefully I will be going to the beach more. Last summer I went once. However, working there does have some advantages. For instance, I don't have to work past 5 p.m. I'm lucky, because then I can go out at night with my friends. When I do go out at night, I usually go to some club or bar. Then only problem is waking up the next day for work at 8 a.m." said Carissa Iruelli, a sophomore from NYIT.
It seems as though most students have some sort of job for the summer. Some are more lucky than others when it comes to where they get to work or how many hours they have to work.
Just because you have to work during the summer doesn't mean you can't have fun.
" The people I meet at work are usually the ones I hangout with for the summer. It's great going to work and meeting new people. That's one of the main things I look forward to this summer", said Transki
Sometimes going to work is just part of the fun.
