SUMMER ‘25 By Douglas Cube Sophomore, Editor As the end of the year slowly creeps closer, the slump for many of us only continues to grow; the only thing keeping us going is the idea that in a few short days, we will be freed from our school duties and be out on summer vacation. For our seniors, this summer will be their last before they go off to college, and begin their lives as adults. Senior Valerie Arredondo says, “This summer, I’m turning 18, [and] seeing my favorite band, Pierce the Veil for my birthday.” Valerie also plans to enjoy her summer by “filling my summer bucket list with my best friends and have fun, [as well as] prepare for my next years Photo from Google Images at CBU!” On the other hand, other For the other Notre Dame seniors, such as Josephine Schmidt, Students, this next summer will plan on spending their summer be filled to the brim with fun working, as she plans to “work at plans, and academic the store at my mom’s work [and] opportunities. One example of apply to programs in/around San this is Junior Ana Sofia Ramirez. Diego once I turn 18 for more “This summer,” Ana Sofia says, “I internship opportunities based in will be participating in several the nuclear science career field!” programs as I approach my senior year. I will be attending the Hispanic Scholarship Fund’s
Youth Leadership Institute at USC in hopes of gaining access to opportunities and to take away some stress from the college application process. Additionally, I will be a part of a Computer Science Program at UCR in order to fill in some gaps within application regarding my major. I will also be taking two classes at a community college, prepping for my last attempt on the SAT. I am doing my best to prepare for college applications, and I am excited for doing fun things over the summer but also getting a little bit of rest.” While not everyone is spending their summer at academic camps, some people are still taking time to keep their minds fresh, as Sophomore Emma Senn says, “I want to prepare myself for next year by studying for the SAT, and reviewing math, [along with] spending time with my family and taking little trips.” Despite these students’ plans for excellence and education over the summer, it is still important to remember that summer is only about three months, and the way you decide to spend it is completely up to you, whether it be by keeping your mind sharp and studying, or lollygagging and adventuring with your friends. With this, all I have to share is that this summer should be maximized however you see fit, and I wish that you, the readers enjoy yours, with whatever you may be doing!!
