Every summer, I find myself quite bored. This summer, I tried something new: by getting a summer job! Whether it's an internship or an ice cream shop, it helps you gain the real world experience after high school and college graduation. So here are 11 reasons to have a job or internship this summer.

Future Connections

It helps you to find future jobs when you know people that can help you out!

Another thing you can put on your resume.

Lacking on that experience? This will help you look unique compared to the other 1,000 kids applying for the same college.

Earn money.

Who doesn't want money?

You have something to do now.

Now you won't be bored all summer!

You have the freedom to go out and do something.

You are now independent enough to go and explore the world since you are working and earning for a living.

Gain experience in the workplace.

This allows you to see if this is truly what you want to do after college or as a job.

Savings

This money can go towards your college funds or for something personal that you would like to have. Like a car or a nice camera.

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.

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.
