What Your Summer Job Says About You
jobsamerica.info

Since the majority of students everywhere are out for summer that means one thing. Summer jobs. By now its basically a requirement, we're in college and everyone knows college kids are broke. And adding a little extra something to your resume doesn't hurt either.

Here's what your summer job says about you:

The Intern: This kid more than likely already has their life together. They probably have their life mapped out right up until the day they die. They work a 9-to-5 job all week so we already know their motto is "work hard, play harder." Internships prepare you for the real world, they show you what it's like to have a career and to be an adult.

The Nanny: Not many people would want to take part in a job that requires cleaning up constant messes, listening to screaming children all day and basically taking on every responsibility a mother has, but this kid does. I'm not sure how great nannying looks on a resume but making ten dollars an hour or more sounds great. Plus nannys get great perks, like getting to go to the zoo, the movies, paid in cash and getting a week or two off when the family goes on vacation.

The Camp Counselor: This kid loves the outdoors and being surrounded by billions of kids. They love every kind of outdoor activity and crafting. Their parents probably sent them to same camp they work out when they were little and now they can't ever leave the place. While watching after all the little campers, they're secretly trying to turn them into soon-to-be camp counselors.

The Lifeguard: This kid is probably tan year round. As a child they probably spent everyday at the lake, the pool or the beach. Just like the nanny they're around all days, but not as their care taker. The lifeguard gets to work with a bunch of people that are their age which makes work a little more bearable. And who wouldn't want to get to paid to sit in a chair and work on getting a tan?

The Waiter/Waitress: Some may say these kids aren't quite ready for adulting just yet. They like not having that strict 40 hours a week 9-to-5 job. These kids are more fun because while everyone else is going to bed early because they have to be at work between the hours of 7 and 9, these kids aren't even done with their shift until after 10. They don't have to be up early either, so why go home after a shift when you could go out with your friends?

The Kid Without A Job: This is the kid who is always complaining in the group chat because no one can hangout at 4 pm.

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.
