What It's Like to Work Two Summer Jobs

Let me tell you, customer service isn't easy.

Working in customer service can be hard. Working in two customer service jobs can be chaotic. People who have worked two summer jobs understand the stress and the responsibility that accompanies it. Is it worth it? Maybe you'll just have to read this article to find out.

1. Getting ready super fast.

Who cares if you brush your hair in the morning with a broom? I know I do!

2. Eating anything, anywhere.

I can eat a meal in five minutes now. I think I'll add it to my resumé.

3. Changing uniforms several times a day.

I've forgotten what it's like to wear street clothes.

4. Being able to relax anywhere.

Yes, I could sleep on a snake. Okay, maybe not. But you get the idea.

5. Getting very tired.

Seventy hours a week. Sixteen hours a day (well, not every day). Time becomes irrelevant and sleep becomes a rare commodity.

6. Ignoring your phone on your day off.

Sometimes you have to let your kite fly.

7. Sleeping very restfully when you get home.

And by sleeping restfully, I mean thrashing because of that dream you had where you forgot to give locker keys to any of your customers.

8. Needing a therapist when you get home.

Because customer service is hard and parents (and cats) are therapists who don't charge.

9. Charming the pants off of your customers.

It's all in the hair flip, the funny jokes and the gentle customer service voice.

10. Going a tad crazy.

You have to watch your attitude carefully when you work two jobs. Although it becomes harder to keep your cool in tough situations, it becomes even more important. Sometimes, your cat is your only connection to your sanity.

11. Complaining a lot.

Sorry, friends. I try not to complain, but sometimes, it happens.

Working two jobs is great, but you have to be ready to commit. It's not going to be easy, but it will be worth it in the long run. Warning: do not attempt to get a second job without first purchasing a stress-relieving, fluffy animal, such as a cat, a bunny rabbit or a gerbil.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
