It’s about time for summer
and students can’t wait any
longer. Bucks students have all
sorts of plans for summertime
and are antsy to get them started.
With only a few weeks left
of school and the weather
warming up, the countdown
has begun.
This is the end of the road for
some students in their Bucks
career and transferring is in
their near future. Dan Johnson,
19, an undecided major is planning
on working the summertime
away. “I’ll definitely be
working a lot, but there’ll definitely
be time to hang out with
friends.” Most of Johnson’s
friends will be coming home
from state schools in the middle
of May and he can’t wait to
see them.
He will be working at the
Richboro Care Center for the
majority of the summer making
a decent rate. Johnson is
saving to transfer for Temple
University in the fall and said
he was a little “stressed and
under a lot of pressure.”
With gas prices skyrocketing
and a raise in tuition, working
is popular in student’s summer
plans. Ryan Calabro, 19, a
physical education major, will
also be spending a lot of his
summertime at work. Working
at the Richboro Shopping Bag
and the gas station across the
street, Calabro is planning on
saving a good amount of
money.
On top of working two jobs,
Calabro will also be taking a
few summer classes. He said
he wanted to “get a few more
gen-eds out of the way for next
semester” in hopes of taking
less classes in the fall. Unsure
of exactly what he wants to
take for summer courses he is
aware of the tuition increase
and is prepared for it.
On the more relaxing side of
the summertime spectrum, we
can’t forget about the beach.
Stephanie Catalano, 19, a
Liberal Arts major is planning
on spending her summer at the
Jersey shore. Catalano said, “I
plan on driving to Belmar at
least three to four times a
week.”
With most of her friends
coming home from colleges all
across the country she just
can’t wait to celebrate the lack
of school work. Belmar is her
usual stomping grounds and
she definitely has her favorites.
Catalano shared with me that
Three Brothers Pizza is her
favorite part of Belmar beach
and she really just “can’t wait
any longer to have it.”
Such hot and beautiful
weather in the Summer calls
for days by the pool. Nick
Schantz, 19, a business major,
plans of spending his summertime
by his pool with family
and friends. Schantz said, “I
can’t wait to just be done
school so I can run home and
jump into my pool.”
He definitely isn’t hogging
his pool to himself though. He
plans on having plenty of
BBQ’s with family and friends.
Schantz said, “I have a volley
ball net, pool basketball, and
plenty of friends who want to
come and swim, so this summer
should be great.”
On the more adventurous
side of summertime, Eddie
Celiesius, 20, liberal arts
major, has quite the plans for
his summertime. Celiesius and
five of his good friends are
packing up their tents and biking
to Cape May, New Jersey.
In an attempt to stray away
from the norm, Celiesius and
his friends are camping their
way up to the beach. He’s
packing up “food, water and
the essentials for camping.” No
beach houses here, Celiesius
and his buddies are roughing it
right on the beach in hopes to
not be chased away by beach
patrol.
