Summer is amazing. It's the height of luxury and relaxation, right? No classes, no assignments, no exams... Without school controlling your entire week, life can be a bit boring. For most people, including me, a summer job is necessary, not just for making extra money but for keeping you busy!
Unfortunately, finding a summer job can be really... really tough. It's hard to find a place that
Here are 10 things that I definitely will not be compensated for this summer, but wish that I could!
1. Walking aimlessly around Target and finding 18 things that I didn't know I needed... but totally do.
Multivitamin gummies? A new water bottle? Greek yogurt? A sundress? A new flavor of gum? Yes, please!!! Who knew I needed $100 worth of stuff!
2. Watching Kathie Lee and Hoda having a blast and drinking wine at 10 a.m. on the Today Show.
Staring at the screen longingly. Laughing with them. Learning about John Cena's love life.
3. Getting along with my mom.
I'm sorry mom, you know it's true. This is not always an easy task, but my skills are improving every day.
4. Trying on last summer's bikinis.
This takes a lot of deep breaths, bravery, and pep talks.
5. Posting pictures of my food on Instagram.
This not only requires aesthetically pleasing food but also good lighting, good angles, a steady hand to capture that perfect #foodiegoals pic.
6. Staying up late for no reason.
This is a bad habit of mine that would definitely be better with compensation. I’ll be rubbing my eyes with my body begging for sleep, as I click on the next episode of The Office that I’ve already seen 8 times.
7. Eating a pint of Halo Top.
8. Making it to the gym.
The reason I include this is that I love it, but it takes a lot of mental and physical strength. I want to exercise because I want to feel better about myself... but I also have a hard time doing it when I can just wear a sweatshirt and stay inside.
9. Stalking Chrissy Teigen's Twitter.
Everyone knows Chrissy is a true goddess. I often think she is too good for this world. If you don't, check her twitter and you'll see for yourself. I aspire to be her. And I continually wonder what her job title is... because I want that job.
10. Watching re-runs of "The Office."
Someone's gotta do it.
