Summer is basically synonymous with spending money. With you and all your friends off from school and free to take as many adventures as you want, it also means you are free to spend an unfortunate amount of money on brunch, gas, beach trips, vacations and much more. Because of this, you have only one option: get a summer job. This is your summer job as told by the show, 'Parks and Recreation.'

1. Showing Up For Your Shift

You are ready to go! Full of energy and ready for whatever the job throws at you today.

2. Looking Busy

You have gone through everything you can think of and now you are standing around wondering... what's next? Everything is clean and no customers need help so you are just hanging out, wondering what the best way to look busy is.

3. Your Friends Make Plans Without You

When you finally get a second to check your phone, you notice your friends are making fun plans for that night or to go swimming without you. While you don't blame them since it is a beautiful summer day, you can't help but feel some FOMO and immediately regret getting a job at all.

4. When a customer doesn't like the answer to their question

You finally get some human interaction but it does not go the way you plan. Even though you know you answered their question the best you could, the customer still isn't happy with what they have heard, leaving it uncomfortable for the both of you. You know you're right but there is nothing you can do about it.

5. Getting complimented for a job well done

Whether it is from your boss, coworker or a customer, it always feels good being recognized for a job well done. While this work may not be your life's passion, we can all agree that it is a great ego boost and makes working a little better.

6. When your coworker finally shows up to relieve you

It has been a long shift and you are more than ready to clock out. Seeing your coworker walk through the door comes with a sigh of relief and maybe even some happy tears. You know your time is up and it's time to finally head home.

7. The car ride home

You're tired, hungry and ready for a nap. You know you are doing the right thing by getting a job and gaining responsibility, but at what cost?! The good old days of being a kid with no need for a job seem even better and you silently wish to yourself that you had never grown up.

8. Payday

Getting a check in the mail or seeing money magically appear in your bank account is one of the greatest feelings. You know that all the hours put in at your summer job were completely worth it, even though it didn't feel like it at the time. Now you can go out and spend your hard earned money on that new brunch spot you've been dying to try, an acai bowl down at the shore or buy the one piece bathing suit that looks like the one Kendall Jenner wore that one time because you deserve it!
