10 Reasons To Have A Summer Job
PathBrite

Every summer we come home from school or go off on internships and gain experience away from a classroom that is irreplaceable and will help us to gain the experience to join the real world after college graduation. So here are 10 reasons to work in the summer.

1. You Socialize

Introverted? Don't worry, you can count this as your daily dose of dealing with people before you go home and become a hermit.

2. You Can Make Money

You want to be like Beyonce? Everyone has to start somewhere, usually at the bottom to work to the top.

3. You Make Future Connections

Having those connections can help you to find other positions and jobs in the future, so don't burn those bridges.

4. You Have Something To Do

Anytime you need an excuse to get out of something? Just say you have to work.

5. You Get Away From Your Parents

If you're used to being on your own at school, now you have a reason to be on your own at home (again you can use work as an excuse too).

6. You Have Freedom

Hand-in-hand with getting away from the folks you have a little freedom to be doing something you want to get out and control an aspect of your life.

7. You Add To Your Resume

Lacking in expertise? You can word anything to your benefit, no matter what you did, to impress a potential employer.

8. You Gain Experience


If this is a field you want to work in after school, having the ability to say you have don this before will go a long way in getting potential face-to-face interaction for the job.

9. You Get To Make Your Own Choices

Accept the job you want and apply for the job you want. If you feel like mowing lawns, or working in an office, you do you.

10. You Get To Peace Out Back To School In The Fall

Not ready for the real world yet? You don't have to be, because you can go back to school with all your friends in August and be as crazy as you want before graduation.

In the end having a job in the summer to occupy yourself is all around an extraordinary experience to help you, and your future self will thank you for it.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
