Why not college classes during the summer........

So proud of C18.

She finished her first year of college with straight A's and made it on the President's list.

Yep, my little homeschooler.

We already had a fairly busy summer planned with the acting gigs, concerts, birthday parties, hopefully a quick trip out of town at the end of July, as well as babysitting and pet sitting for half the people living in our complex.  They are lining up jobs left and right.

But even with all of that, C18 has decided to take classes during the summer.  She is a college rockstar!

I know summer classes are not for everyone.  Some people are not cut out for college at all and fail miserably while they are in college, drop courses, fail courses, change majors, and/or relocate as an
excuse to start over at another college but luckily C18 is not like that.

There are so many benefits of summer school and if you are taking online classes, the benefits are even greater!

By just taking two courses over the summer, C18 can graduate a semester early.  There are usually fewer students.  The classes are shorter in term.  There are no gaps in learning/routine which keeps your brain going.  In general you will have more access to professors since the classes are smaller and you can get some of the gen ed classes out of the way.  Summer school is also great for anyone who needs to catch up.  I cannot find one single reason not to take summer classes, especially online, even with a busy schedule like C18 already has in place.
