The advertisement for every summer consists of the same three things: beaches, traveling, and tan skin. But for the college student that has either snagged that internship or is working retail for the summer, this isn't the case. This is a shout-out for the college student that is working their a** off this summer.

Here are some of the pros and cons of your responsible choice to work for the summer:

Pro: You're making money while your friends are spending it.

Although you may be jealous all your friends are traveling the world, at least you'll have money to carry you into the start of the school year.

Con: Having to resort to a fake tan instead of a real one.

I promise I was just in Cancun last week. It's real...

Pro: You're getting prepared for when you start your career after your graduate.

You're getting used to working 5+ days each week. Entering a career will be a breeze for you while your unemployed friends struggle with the idea of working long hours.

Con: You miss out on all of the excitement with your friends.

When you do make an appearance with the friend group, the amount of inside jokes you don't understand with the "you had to have been there" line gets very frustrating after awhile.

Pro: You fall asleep at night much easier.

Being on your feet all day really does take a toll on you. With that, you have such an easy time falling asleep at night. And yes, your friends will roast you for going to bed at 11 pm.

Con: You're stressed pretty much the entire summer.

You want to pretty much just scream at every single person that tests your patience.

Pro: You appreciate your days off more than anything else in the world.
