I have a summer job. Again. I've had a regular job since I was 17 (12 if you count babysitting and nannying during the summer). I feel like every year I'm stuck working and taking summer classes while my Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat feeds are chock-full of friends posting beach photos or the lucky folks on international holidays. Frankly, I'm angry (*cough* jealous).
I know I'm not the only one who works all the time, so my fellow jealous cohorts will appreciate this gif set I compiled of what it's like to have a summer job in college.
When a friend asks you if you want to hang out:
Between work and my Philosophy class, I barely have time to eat, let alone browse jeans at the mall.
Leaving for work before the sun comes up, and then coming home after it goes down:
"The sun ain't even warm yet!":
When you missed your train/bus to get back home:
Those seats are not comfy at all.
Not seeing your family for days:
They're lucky enough to be in bed before 10 p.m.
When you finally get a day off:
Sleeping in until nine a.m. is amazing.
Missing a beach trip with your friends because you have to work on the weekends:
So so so sad.
When a customer asks you another stupid question.
Spending half your paycheck on coffee:
OR
Spending half your paycheck on train/bus fare (or gas):
BUT
What you'll look like to your friends when you come back to school:
They'll be broke from goofing off all summer while you're rolling in the cash.
