15 Signs You've Been Working All Summer

1. Rihanna's "Work" is your summer anthem. And you've grown pretty accustomed to it, too.

2. All of your friends are partying at the beach.

3. And you have no tan.

4. But at least you make that money.

5. You can finally relate to your mom's complaints of long and hard days at work... And then you proceed to pass out on your bed as soon as you get home.

6. You know more about your coworkers than you want to.

7. All of your SnapChat stories are of coffee and work. And sometimes a selfie with your bestie at the workplace. But usually, it's your coffee.

8. You only see your friends when they meet you for a bite to eat during your lunch break.

9. The only clothes you wear are work clothes. No cute summer shorts for you! And when you get home, the first thing you do is put on your favorite pair of sweatpants.

10. You become used to hearing your coworker's life story about 70 times a week. You also get used to pretending like you care.

11. You learn how to deal with rude people.

12. You measure the value of something in hours of work. Is that top really worth four and a half hours of faxing papers...?

13. Tears of joy when you can clock out early!

14. Friends: "Don't you feel overworked? Can you just take a break?" Me: *rolls eyes*

15. In the end, you learn a lot about life and you feel like you're making a contribution to society. So give yourself a pat on the back- you deserve it!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
