And just like that, your school year is over! "Welcome home!" the sign that your parents have so loving made you says. Then you turn it over and the less loving words, "Now get a job," are pasted on the big sheet of cardboard.

Yes, my friends, it is that time of year again.

Now that you have spent the school year draining your parents bank account it's time you work so you can have your own money to spend on late night pizza. But don't worry, the struggle is very real no matter where you are. Applying to jobs, waiting to hear back, getting references and watching your bank account drain with no more money pouring back in. Ah, to be a young collegian. Here are the struggles one might face when getting a summer job.

Coming to the realization that no, you cannot live off of mommy and daddy's money anymore.

Searching diligently online to find any openings at all.

Walking into a prospective place of employment like you own it.

Then being reminded you really don't and you need money and a job now.

When people ask you how the job search is going.

Looking at your calendar, counting down the days until you can live off of your parents again.

Reminding yourself that you are, in fact, pretty well off and people in the world have it a lot worse.

Getting the call that you got a job! Go you!

But you're required to wear a uniform and talk to people, and you hate that.

Reminding yourself that you are getting paid money and it's only for one summer.

Go you! You're employed!
