We all know the grueling process of finding a job for the summer. Giving your name out to so many applicants, and having only a few of them respond back. If you are lucky enough to find a summer job, here are reasons why it'll be better than any 9 to 5 sitting at a desk all day for the rest of your life job that you may have in the future

1. It's only a three-month-long commitment

And it will fly!

2. Which means you'll be able to say goodbye to those coworkers you hate

You know the ones I'm talking about, those who don't actually do any work.

3. It's also easier to bond with them

I don't know what it is about only having to deal with coworkers for a short time that makes them easier to get along with, but I'm thankful for it.

4. You'll have extra cash for the school year

I see it, I like it, I want it, I got it.

5. You can possibly put your foot in the door for a more permanent job someday

If it's possible to get experience for your future career, go for it!

6. Summer is a busy time of year, so you may be able to get extra hours

Which sounds awful, until you get that paycheck.

7. Days off in the summer are awesome

What's better than spending a day at the pool while everyone else has to work?

8. Using the excuse "Sorry I have to work" and actually meaning it

Sometimes you just REALLY don't want to go to that event, and now you don't have to!

9. You have lots of options

Giphy

Lots of jobs are looking for extra help in the summer, so chances are, they'll hire you if they like you!

10. You can get customer service experience

Retail=customers (c'mon that's first grade math)

11. It's much better than doing nothing all summer

Would you rather spend the next three months being a couch potato, or making some bucks? Yeah, that's what I thought. Chances are you won't be spending every day at the beach or traveling the world.

I know your summer job may seem exhausting and never-ending, but it is only temporary. Plus, it has so many benefits that you may not be able to see now, but trust me, they exist.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
