We all know the grueling process of finding a job for the summer. Giving your name out to so many applicants, and having only a few of them respond back. If you are lucky enough to find a summer job, here are reasons why it'll be better than any 9 to 5 sitting at a desk all day for the rest of your life job that you may have in the future

1. It's only a three-month-long commitment

And it will fly!

2. Which means you'll be able to say goodbye to those coworkers you hate

You know the ones I'm talking about, those who don't actually do any work.

3. It's also easier to bond with them

I don't know what it is about only having to deal with coworkers for a short time that makes them easier to get along with, but I'm thankful for it.

4. You'll have extra cash for the school year

I see it, I like it, I want it, I got it.

5. You can possibly put your foot in the door for a more permanent job someday

If it's possible to get experience for your future career, go for it!

6. Summer is a busy time of year, so you may be able to get extra hours

Which sounds awful, until you get that paycheck.

7. Days off in the summer are awesome

Giphy

What's better than spending a day at the pool while everyone else has to work?

8. Using the excuse "Sorry I have to work" and actually meaning it

Sometimes you just REALLY don't want to go to that event, and now you don't have to!

9. You have lots of options

Giphy

Lots of jobs are looking for extra help in the summer, so chances are, they'll hire you if they like you!

10. You can get customer service experience

Retail=customers (c'mon that's first grade math)

11. It's much better than doing nothing all summer

Would you rather spend the next three months being a couch potato, or making some bucks? Yeah, that's what I thought. Chances are you won't be spending every day at the beach or traveling the world.

I know your summer job may seem exhausting and never-ending, but it is only temporary. Plus, it has so many benefits that you may not be able to see now, but trust me, they exist.

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.

I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
