As the end of spring quarter draws closer, with summer looming on the horizon, many students are showing obvious signs of excitement. They can be seen tapping their fingers and staring at the clock, just waiting for the last few interminable weeks to pass.
Though the weather isn’t presently showing it, summer is on its way. But the majority of EvCC students are not far from home; it is, after all, community college. So what do community college students do over the summer, and what happens after?
Students like Karli Hesselman are making plans. “I have to take a couple classes,” she says. But she isn’t letting the prospect of summer classes get her down. “My friends have a summer house in the Wenatchee area so I’ll probably be going there most weekends” says Hesselman. After summer, she plans to transfer to Western.
Kristi Orozco, student and mother, says she will be “taking the baby places...Wild Waves, the zoo,” and says that she also might go to San Francisco this summer. She plans to continue taking classes next year.
Running Start student Andi Gibson is planning to go to Hawaii this summer after she graduates from high school, and also look for a job. “Hopefully I’ll be able to get a job at a bakery or restaurant since that’s the field I want in!” says Gibson. She plans to go to Skagit or Edmonds to join the culinary program once she finishes her degree at EvCC.
But not all students are planning on going places this summer. Some are sticking around for work or more classes.
Analea Thielke is going to continue working at an insurance agency and continue going to school here at EvCC. Brandon Crawford, who has been at EvCC for two quarters, plans to continue doing normal activities—hanging out with friends, baking, and relaxing. Like Gibson, Crawford is planning to transfer to join a culinary program.
These are just a few of our many students here at EvCC, but everyone has different plans and ideas for their summer activities and what they will do next. Whether you plan to relax, work, go to school, or travel, let this get you through the next few weeks: SUMMER IS COMING. Hold on; once you make it through finals, the world is yours.
