Like 21 savage says, all I want is " one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight M's in my bank account."

During the summer, I am busy working at a local retail store and taking classes. Whether you work 40 hours a week or put in 40 hours of studying in per week, you can understand the pain and torture that comes with having a summer job. Being an adult is hard.

1. Plan activities with me a month in advance.

This one is too real. When it comes to working during the summer and/or taking classes, we have a set schedule. Usually we have a planner with all of our dates to show up to work and a list of assignments due certain days during the summer. So. if you'd like to hang out, be sure to give us a 4-week notice with an itinerary attached containing details of everything we are going to be doing and the times we will be doing those said things.

2. Sleeping in? Don't know what that is.

The joy of having full time hours during the summer, is that you can almost guarantee that I don't sleep in. Working 8-5 everyday sure has it's perks, but on the days where we have nothing to do, you can expect me to find me in my bed all day. Call me, beep me, if you wanna reach me vibes, otherwise I'll be in bed.

3. Speaking of sleep, we don't get a lot of it either.

Just because we wake up early does not mean we go to bed early. Since I am doing both online classes and working full-time, I barely get 6 hours a night. Summer can put a damper not just on our plans but on our love of sleep too!

4. Weekends aren't for fun.

Rarely do working students get weekends off, unless you're especially blessed. At the retail store I work at, Saturdays and Sundays are the days I work longer hours, leaving little room to have time to myself or other things, like eat or breathe. During the week is when I have more time, which is really discombobulating to think about!

5. The money is great.

However, working all of these hours does pay off. Every 2 weeks, I get so excited to get money deposited into my bank account. During the summer I have bills of course, but I have more money to spend on going out or buying things for myself. This is a dilemma because, yeah, I have all of this money to spend but guess what I don't have to spend? Time going out with friends!

So, if you're like me and working your life away during the summer. Keep doing you! Your grades and your bank account will thank you.

Don't lose motivation during the summer and pull out great grades and save the money for trips during spring and winter break with your friends! And for those who don't work like us, please understand that of course we want to hang out with you, but like 21 savage says, all I want is " one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight M's in my bank account."

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
