Summer Vacation...Sun and Fun or a Hoax?

Now it's been quite a while since I've written anything in dear old blogger, hopefully now since it's summer vacation I'll stop being a lazy ass and use the $40,000 college worth of educated brain cells that I've acquired this year to write a lovely witty and at times sarcastic post.

Now I've been on vacation for a little over a week right now and quite honestly bored out of my mind, however it has prompted me to write this blog post. During my endless hours of philosophical thinking and mindless consumption of junk food I've come to realize that as great as no school work and stress has been, summer after a year of college isn't really quite summer. I mean not the summer we should be having anyways. As college students we are plagued by a tremendous amount of debt which will be explained by this somewhat mathematical formula:

Coffee+3AM Chinese/Pizza takeout+spontaneous shopping sprees+partying expenses**+outings/field trips+ MIA money***+laundry+transportation expenses= one depleted bank account=one poor college student

And so the job hunt continues to find some moolah so we could continue existing in the Less-Restrictive-Institute-of-Higher-and-Required-Education because how else are we gonna afford living on our own there? However, that's not it folks, we have high school seniors who are also punchin' in for a few bucks so they can survive the living expenses for the year to come. Now honestly we finally get a break with this gorgeous weather and what happens, we have to spend our time inside working.

Now I have devised a new foolproof plan to this (well ok somewhat foolproof, it's still in the scheming stages): Congress should pass an act paying students to go and have fun during their summer vacation. I mean jobs give their employees vacation weeks so why should students enjoy the same benefit? I see it as the students have their fun, the whole stress factor of making money is gone, which then leads to a carefree summer and therefore resulting in a fresh unstressed college mind come September on it's way to becoming a full upstanding citizen of society.

As for the accumulated debt throughout the year, I say we should all find the Tyler Durden************************** in us and find a way to wipe out all our credit card debt. You would think Fight Club being as popular as it was among college students we would have some sort of scheming. I mean hey, who wouldn't be up for Christmas everyday.
