Summer Jobs On The Real

The Bachelorette Always Knows Best

Summer Jobs On The Real

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.

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.
