What time is it? It’s summertime, of course.
The spring semester may be over, but UNC students still have a lot on their plates.
Rising sophomore Maiya Peterson will be at UNC working with Edible Campus, a group that maintains the garden beds on campus.
“My job is to maintain those garden beds and make sure that all the plants growing there are healthy and ready to be picked by anyone whenever," Peterson said.
Peterson, in addition to many other students, will be taking summer classes at UNC.
Jennifer Na, a rising junior, will be taking classes at the School of Nursing while working at The Root Cellar Cafe and Catering.
“Working will be tough. I’ll be doing 8-hour shifts a couple times a week, but I’m still making time to go to classes,” Na said. “It’s going to be a lot more relaxed than the school year just because last semester, I took 17 hours.”
However, rising junior Irene Zhou said she can never catch a break, even during the summer.
“It feels like the school life is never-ending,” Zhou said. “Of course, I’m working because I don’t like having too much free time and it helps pay off fees for school.”
