What Your Summer Job Says About You

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.

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.
