5 Signs You Spend Your Entire Summer At Your Neighborhood Pool

In This Article:

Over the summer, I am a member of my local pool, and it is the thing that I look forward to every year. It is such a welcoming and loving facility, and everyone there is family. Even though I am too old for summer swim team there anymore, I love that I still get to work at the pool and see all of my friends every day. So, here are 5 signs that you spend your entire summer at the pool!

1.  You’re ridiculously tan

…and you love it. In the summers, I get so tan and it's my favorite thing ever—people always ask me if it's fake and I'm like "nah."

2.  Your feet are ~extremely~ callused

Kate Tulenko

…and it is ~gross~. I get this all the time from walking around the concrete to constantly having pool toe (or pool foot, in this case).

3.  You know who every single person at the pool is

…but not their real names. You just remember them as "the mom with the pink sunglasses" or "the kid that thinks he knows how to swim, but really doesn't so DON'T LET HIM SWIM ALONE."

4.  You and your friends know all the words to that ~one song~

Kate Tulenko

…country roads, take me home. You and your friends have this one anthem that you guys constantly listen to, to the point that it annoys all of the other members.

5.  Your pool friends are your favorite people

Kate Tulenko

You guys will talk about anything that comes to mind and are constantly laughing about the stupidest stuff—there are too many inside jokes to count!

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Whether you're commuting or dorming, your first year of college is a huge adjustment. The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing. Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
