It's officially summer. Finals are over. The stress can end.

Now you can spend your free time sleeping, spending time outside and doing what you'd like, right? Wrong.

Most college kids need to do some kind of work over the summer. College is about growing up and taking responsibility. And if you're lucky enough, you might be working and interning at the same time. Fun, right?

Now that warm, gleaming light at the end of the tunnel seems farther away. Summer has transformed from beach days and lemonade to customer service and desk jobs.

This may seem sad and horrible, but it's the best thing for a college student.

This way, you never really get out of the swing of being busy and won't face a funk at the beginning of the semester.

This way, when you do graduate, you'll know how to have fun in the summer while still holding a full time job.

This way, if things get too much for you, you can still quit one of your jobs before all your finances depend on it.

It may seem terrible to spend your summer like an adult, but it's for the better. You'll still have fun and be responsible, trust me.
