The Emotions Of Having A Summer Job As Told By "Grey's Anatomy"

The summer begins with excitement to return to your seasonal job. You are so excited to see all of your old coworkers again, and rack up a good amount of money this summer.


There is always that painful first week where you have to adjust to all the newbies trying to tell you how to do your job, when they have been there for 10 minutes.


And when the newbies mess up (because they will), they make it your problem.


As the weeks pass, you slowly begin to remember just how exhausting your job is and begin to lose track of how many days it has been since you actually had a day off.


Realizing the only time that you are going to have to eat this summer, is going to have to be quick and therefore not the most healthy, you shoot all chances for your "I'm going to get fit" summer right in the face.


But you just have to power through the endless bad meals and overtime because everyone on the payroll is starting to leave for cool trips and you guys are too understaffed for you to have a relaxing summer vacation.


You and your coworkers get through the days by pep talking each other before a shift.


Through it all though, the adjustments, and the sleeping-in-less mornings, you are so thankful for this job because of the awesome memories you have made on and off the clock with your coworkers.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
