When Choosing Your Summer Classes, Classes, Housing

Something to consider when your planning out your semester, whether it's summer or fall, is how many classes you would be comfortable taking. It's also a good idea to go to a counselor and discuss a student plan to go by. I think it's great to also add some fun classes in your schedule just so your not always stressing.

At SBCC the most credits a student can take over the summer is 9, while the regular semesters are 18. If your looking to take online classes make sure you always check your pipeline regularly. These types of classes are great to choose if your into being self-taught and are online all the time. Of course there are classes on campus during the summer. The weather is beautiful, its perfect enough to have picnics at the beach during breaks.

For future students, I recommend you explore the SBCC website (www.sbcc.edu) and see what our school has to offer. For example, housing! There's actually a housing list on our school website. Check it out and find a place that suits your needs. Some of these houses are a few miles away from the school. Good idea we have a great transportation system here... to be continued.

I've recently applied for housing at Channel Islands and I requested my sister as a roommate haha I also applied for housing at Cal Poly Pomona. Decisions. Decisions.

Summer Registration, Summer Classes, Pressure

Welcome to April everyone. Summer registration is right around the corner. You can found out what your registration date is by logging on to your pipeline, once your on your home page click on the registration link on the right hand side, then click on the first link entitled,  

"Check Your Pre-Registration Requirements and Registration Appointment"

 click on it and select the term "summer 2014." Oooh and here's the summer schedule brought to you by, Melanie Belanger.

Anyways I have to admit that its quite stressful to think about summer classes, when we're still in Spring semester. I'm starting to really feel the pressure of doing better than last semester and now I must think about what I will take this summer. I feel like a huge weight has been placed on my shoulder, hahaha the real saying is "I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulder," not in this case. Yet, I always go back to one of my favorite Nelson Mandala quotes "It always seems impossible until its done." I've said it before and I'll continue you to spread this quote.

Its weird, despite my stress, I'm feeling extremely optimistic I'm even thinking about going on another hike this weekend because it really makes me happy. Like they say, whatever makes you happy. We're all gonna power through these last eight weeks and succeed! Then I can say a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders rather then it being placed on them.

By the way, Happy April fool's day!
