It May Be Summer Break, But I'm Still Working

I want fun and relaxation but I have to work all summer long.

It May Be Summer Break, But I'm Still Working

I started my summer break on May 7, 2019. I didn't get home until around 4 pm. I sat at home, catching up with my family that I missed so much. The next day, I had to go to my job to be able to sign a paper from a mandatory in-service that I missed while I was away at school. Without signing it, I wouldn't be able to work until I do. So while I was waiting for the person that had to paper to come into work, I went around the nursing home visiting all the residents that I missed. Then I stayed in my mom's office until I had to sign the in-service paper.

Well another CNA had to go home because she had a fever. And one of my supervisors came and asked if I wanted to work that day. I never planned to. I was gonna sign that paper and spend time with my mom. I just wanted to visit especially since I just got home the day before. I wasn't even home for at least 24 hours that day. I haven't even unpacked yet. So I ended up working about six hours that day. I didn't mind that much because I had a partner that helped me and also I need the money. Being a broke college student isn't fun.

So my entire summer is going to consist of working and online classes. Hopefully, I am able to spend time with some friends because I do deserve it. I worked really hard this semester. I made sure I kept my grades up. I worked my hardest to make sure I was prepared for my music audition. Now I'm going to be working my hardest to pass these two summer classes. And I'm going to make sure I have money saved up for the fall semester.

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.
