As the year comes to an end, many students find it hard to motivate themselves to end on the highest note. Some are powering up to finish the year better than they started, while others are less concerned about the rest of the year and more about how to spend summer.Here is a look at what several students are thinking in these last few weeks:

Britney O’Neal is already very excited about school coming to an end. “I’m ecstatic. It’s kind of awesome,“ she said. Between summer plans of spending time with her family and friends and grades that are “not at all” where she would like them to be right now. It is”kind of an equal balance” between thinking about summer and school, she said.

Lydia Brown has a slightly different sentiment about the school year coming to a close. “I think I like not to think about it,” she said. Brown is looking forward to summer for several reasons, one of which being a plan for producing a play over the summer. She is worried about her grades though, and said that they are probably not where she would like them to be. Even so, she is expecting summer: “I’m thinking more about, I don’t know, golly. I think more about school than summer, probably.”

Gabby Thompson’s summer is packed full with plans: “Random Improve Skits at the Diag, I have to fight, dressed as a ninja, holding a lightsaber, with my friends who are going to be dressed as pirates, I have to play boxer hockey, so I have to get some stuff for that,” she said. Even so, she says she will miss Community over the summer, “I think it’s sad that school is ending, ’cause I’m going to miss all my friends during the summer.”
