My Summer Job As Told By April Ludgate

Summer jobs can really suck.

My Summer Job As Told By April Ludgate
Huffington Post

Summer jobs can be rough, especially when all they include is scanning old files for your county's Engineers Office, eight hours a day, five days a week. They also really suck when you have to wake up at 6:30 AM to get there on time. Despite the fact that it sucks, I still wake up and go Monday through Friday (without a smile on my face) and imagine myself as April from "Parks and Recreation" while I'm there.

So here's how my summer job has gone as told by April Ludgate:

When part of your paycheck goes to retirement:

When you realize in it's only Monday:

When you just want to share your misery with everyone else:

When your weird co-worker tells you stories you don't care about:

When things get really boring and you're dying for some action:

When you get accused of using your phone too much:

When you're the last summer intern left and the youngest person in the office:

All in all, this summer hasn't sucked too bad and making money isn't the worst thing ever. so for the next two weeks I'll be thinking about the student loans I can pay off and the amazing spring break I'll be able to afford because of my terribly boring summer job. So, even though I'm channeling my inner April, I'm still grateful for the early mornings and weeks spent in a mind-numbing state of boredom.

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.
