If you've started off your summer without a summer job or internship, it can be a little bit hard to gain the motivation to do anything, but sleep and eat your body weight in white cheddar popcorn. Nick Miller from New Girl feels your motivational pain.
1. Your mom is like, "Maybe you should get a full time job?" And you're like, "Mom, maintaining my social life from this couch is a full-time job." She doesn't understand your groundbreaking contributions to the business world. It's okay.
2. You had no time during the school year to binge watch Scandal, so now is the time! Olivia Pope's pantsuits are not going to admire themselves.
3. With that extra time that you didn't have during the school year, you tell yourself you are going to spend it being healthy and exercising. Yet, you find excuses to do neither of those things, and to maybe only have like eight s'mores at your beach bonfire instead of 18. Baby steps.
4. When you finally realize that your job Netflix-ing on the couch isn't really working for you, financially, you may decide to look for employment elsewhere. So, you start updating your resumé and sending it in to different internships, but you remember that you have only been in school for two years, only taken general education courses. Companies don't really care what you did in high school. I'm sure they will care about that one time I read a book. I also write my own tweets, so...
5. There's that moment when you start getting emails from your fall professors about syllabi and such. I just got my spring professors off my back, and now you want to reel me back into the academic world of stress? No sir, no ma'am; I will not succumb to your peer pressure. You will have my semi-undivided attention in August when I'm sitting in your classroom. Good day!
Do what you have to do to be happy this summer! Take some time to be a couch potato and be the best you possible. Make Nick Miller proud.
