11 Highlights Of A Workaholic's Summer Break

Summer break is a fabulous time for college students. Some people use the time differently from others. Most people use it to relax, take a break from school and try to have fun. As for yourself, you spend it working, getting ahead and saving money.

1. You never see summer break as an actual “break.”

While some people are vacationing, you’ll be saving money all summer long. That is, of course, if you don't spend it all on food.

2. Even when you have the day off, you tell your friends you’ll refuse to go in.

You tell your friends and family that you refuse to go in, no matter what. Today is your day off and you will not be taken advantage of!

3. Then, you’ll call back and gladly agree to go in.

Actually, maybe you could use the money. Plus, you did not have any plans for your day off anyway.

4. You don’t know why you keep looking at ads for summer jobs. You already have two.

Every summer work advertisement always looks so interesting. You wish there were more hours in a day and more days in a week so you could work more interesting summer jobs and internships.

5. Then, you think that maybe you should take some classes to get ahead at school.

But then you remember that there is no way that you could ever consistently take a day off in order to go to school because you are fully committed to your jobs.

6. When your friends from college ask you to make plans.

“Hm. Let me check my calendar. Can we hang out in two months? I think I have a day off then, but I’ll let you know." In fact, you do not even remember what their faces actually look like.

7. Going back to school will feel like relief.

At least you won’t be working nearly as much.

8. Until you get bored of not being able to work all of the time.

School gets repetitive, but every day at work is at least a little different. Plus, work doesn't come with homework.

9. Sometimes you have trouble keeping track of which job you have to be at.

You know you’re scheduled at 11 a.m., but where?

10. Work days feel so much faster than days off.

Days off drag because you miss working even for a single day. At least at your job you are up, moving around or keeping busy in some way.

11. You would not change it even if you had the chance.

Your friends might think that you’re weird, but you know you love it.

While some people think that you working so much is a bad thing, you know deep down you enjoy it just as much as others enjoy relaxing on their days off. Enjoy your working break!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
