The Stages Of Getting A Summer Job As Told By The Breakfast Club

Ah, summertime. What is supposed to be three months of relaxation and sitting by the pool is quickly interrupted by your parents getting on your case about getting a summer job. Don't they know that college is work? You're exhausted from writing papers and taking finals (and staying out at the bar until 3 a.m.), the last thing you want to do during your three months off is spend all day inside working. Eventually it gets to the point that your parents threaten to stop feeding you unless you get a job, so you begrudgingly start the job hunt.

Your parents tell you you need to get a job and your reaction is:

Because this is how you'd rather be spending your summer:

When you start to fill out job applications and you check the "speaks multiple languages" box because three years of Spanish in high school totally makes you bilingual. Right?

After filling out your fifth or more application and you get to that personality survey that promises it will only take you about "15 minutes to complete these 100 questions".

When you get an email from one of the places you applied and you hope it's going to be good news, but instead they are emailing to reject you:

When you put on real clothes and makeup and make yourself look presentable for the interview and remember how good you look when you actually put in effort:

When you get to the interview and the interviewer asks you why you want to work there:

Because you care so much about flipping burgers all summer.

When you finally hear back that you nailed the interview and got the job:

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.

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.

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.
