Summer is a time for relaxing, tanning, and traveling. Or rather that's what I always had believed until I hit my late teens and early 20s. Now, I know the unfortunate truth of what summer really is for: summer jobs. For those who have a hard time balancing school alone, they take the time in summer to make their income for the school year. Others, like myself, are no strangers to working various jobs at once throughout the year. However, when summer break hits, there's no excuse for needing to work shorter shifts because of classes, and thus the elongated hours begin. So who better to explain the struggles of a summer job than the cast of the Bachelorette.
1. You know that as a seasonal employee, you're gonna get all of the late night and weekend shifts right off the bat.
2. But that also means that means your breaks are way more appreciated.
3. Even though your breaks include catching up on the plans all of your friends are making in your group chat without you.
4. So you try to make their plans for the day include visiting you at work.
5. And sometimes it works.
6. While other times...
7. But then again, you get to befriend some of your new coworkers in the meantime. (Who are actually pretty fun too.)
8. No matter what time your shift is done, whether that be a long 2-10, or even a 9-5, all you want to do is one of two things.
Or
9. Which may in turn be a reason why your friends will call you out in the group chats, or simply forget to invite you places; even when you're surprisingly not working.
10. And on the times that you did get the invite days ahead, you try to take off, but we all know the chances of that actually happening in your favor.
11. But through all the rude customers or clients...
Through all the parties you've missed...
Through all the insiders that went right over your head...
And through all the beach trips/ pool parties you've only been present through the Snapchat videos you've received...
You know that school is just around the corner. In other words, you get to spend all that dough you made the past few months on drinks you don't remember buying, and probably textbooks you'll never open. Sometimes a little responsibility can pay off.
