7 Of The Worst Things About May Intercession

Waking up EVERY single day before 8 a.m.

Waking up early is hard enough but regular school is over and it’s (basically) summertime. All you want to do is sleep in and enjoy your comfortable bed without hearing the terrible noise of your alarm clock.

It’s so HOT every morning

Waking up for class is already hard enough, but waking up and walking to class and sweating the entire way to your building with no air conditioning in your near future… pure torture.

4 HOURS of class. Enough said.

Sitting in class during the regular school year is already grueling enough. Now, you’re in class for four hours with only a 10-minute break. AHH!

You cannot skip ONE class

Sure, during the regular school year if you wake up not feeling your best or you need more time completing school work, you’ll take a day for yourself and not go to class. Intercession, on the other hand, don’t even think about it. If you wake up not feeling your best, well, sorry. You got to go. Skipping one intercession class is the equivalent to missing five classes. Yikes.

Tests every 2-3 days

Even though your class is only two weeks long, you still have to take the same amount of tests as you would during the regular semesters, which means tests every two days, which means A LOT of studying. Be ready to grind. 

STARVING

Sitting in class for a four-hour lecture is hard enough, but being hungry while sitting in a four-hour lecture is just the absolute complete opposite of fun. Almost painful.

The Sun

May intercession is right after graduation, which means it’s summer! While you’re sitting in class listening to your teacher talk about something that you do not want to hear, staring out the window looking at the shimmering sun thinking about the beach and all your friends and where you would much rather be than in a classroom…. again… Torture.
