10 Things We All Wish We Could Get Paid For This Summer INSTEAD Of Having A Real Job
Isabel Barganier

Summer is amazing. It's the height of luxury and relaxation, right? No classes, no assignments, no exams... Without school controlling your entire week, life can be a bit boring. For most people, including me, a summer job is necessary, not just for making extra money but for keeping you busy!

Unfortunately, finding a summer job can be really... really tough. It's hard to find a place that you want to work and it's also difficult to find an employer that wants to hire you for two (ish) months.

Here are 10 things that I definitely will not be compensated for this summer, but wish that I could!

1. Walking aimlessly around Target and finding 18 things that I didn't know I needed... but totally do.

Multivitamin gummies? A new water bottle? Greek yogurt? A sundress? A new flavor of gum? Yes, please!!! Who knew I needed $100 worth of stuff!

2. Watching Kathie Lee and Hoda having a blast and drinking wine at 10 a.m. on the Today Show.

Staring at the screen longingly. Laughing with them. Learning about John Cena's love life.

3. Getting along with my mom.

I'm sorry mom, you know it's true. This is not always an easy task, but my skills are improving every day.

4. Trying on last summer's bikinis.

This takes a lot of deep breaths, bravery, and pep talks.

5. Posting pictures of my food on Instagram.

This not only requires aesthetically pleasing food but also good lighting, good angles, a steady hand to capture that perfect #foodiegoals pic.

6. Staying up late for no reason.

This is a bad habit of mine that would definitely be better with compensation. I’ll be rubbing my eyes with my body begging for sleep, as I click on the next episode of The Office that I’ve already seen 8 times.

7. Eating a pint of Halo Top.

8. Making it to the gym.

The reason I include this is that I love it, but it takes a lot of mental and physical strength. I want to exercise because I want to feel better about myself... but I also have a hard time doing it when I can just wear a sweatshirt and stay inside.

9. Stalking Chrissy Teigen's Twitter.

Everyone knows Chrissy is a true goddess. I often think she is too good for this world. If you don't, check her twitter and you'll see for yourself. I aspire to be her. And I continually wonder what her job title is... because I want that job.

10. Watching re-runs of "The Office."

Someone's gotta do it.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
