Schools Out

Classes have ended for me and it is finally time to start enjoying my summer, textbook-free. I took two summer classes that really tested my self discipline. It’s been a challenge to stay focused but I can honestly say that I am saddened to see one of my classes end.

Maybe you’ve never had a class like the one I’ve just finished. It’s the kind of class where the teacher is exceptional and the humor and expertise brought to the class by him rubbed off onto all of the students. We all became fast friends and took a difficult assignment from drab to extraordinary. In fact, we’ve even all formed a post-semester discussion board so that we can stay in touch. These types of relationships are long-lasting ones that will improve not only my classroom experience but my future career. I hope that everyone out there gets the chance to connect in a class like this at least once in their academic adventures.

We’ve all made a pact to stay in touch and now we are seeking a venue for our continued relationship. It seems that the easiest way to keep tabs on one other is to talk online, which led me to search for free message boards.

If you have had a class that you never want to see end, or just need to stay in touch with colleagues or classmates, you can follow our lead and check out one of these great friendship-assisting boards:
