What is summer? The majority of kids, if asked, will tell you that summer signifies the end of school, the start of fun and freedom. You will find some kids at the pool, the mall, or sleeping in. Many stay home and play video games, while others go to the beach. Instead of spending my time at the pool or with friends, I hung-out with furry, four-legged beast and some rambunctious two-legged, little people. As you will learn, this summer, for me, has been a time of learning responsibility. Ever…
One thing I will miss about summer is having the freedom to do want I want and when I want to do it. I think that summer just lowers my stress and makes me feel better and more active. I love sleeping in and not having to wake up to an alarm clock. Being tired and not in a good mood. I also like when I could stay up late in summer and watching movies and stuff. For example, I stayed up til 5 in the morning with my friends at a sleepover. I think that summer just gives you freedom and you can go…
seasons basically do not exist. I was not used to experience the changes in nature as the curse of a year goes by.

The reason why fall is my favorite season is because all the color diversity in the environment plus the perfect weather accompanying this amazing time…

in the park, during the summer, is something my family and I love to do. Watching the wind blow through the bright green leaves on the tree’s, or feeling the warm, reviving sun radiating off my skin. Covering me in a blanket of sunshine. The sweet, fruity smell that lingers in the air is a smell I wish could stay in the air all year round. Even if the air conditioning is on, I still will open my bedroom window to let the smell of summer fill my room. For my family, summer seems to be a season…

I am a sophomore who has learned a lot of useful knowledge and loves my life in UC Davis. Yet, I am writing to point out problems with the quarter system. Similarl to many aggies, in my first college year, I had a hard time adapting to the university life because of the quarter system.

However, after acclimating this schedule, students still need to bear massive stress and many…
