College is rough and let's face it, college students are broke. Between tuition, food and rent, money just flies out of our pockets. But who has time to work when you are always studying. Summer jobs are almost a necessity for a college student's survival. Here is a progression of some college students thoughts throughout their summer job.
1. Perfecting your resume
What do you even put on a resume? "Super good at communication?" Lame.
2. The interview
More like sweaty hands from hell.
3. The first day
"Work is so much fun! I'm so happy to be here!"
4. A week later...
"Okay, this is okay. I'm a little tired."
5. A month later...
"I did not wake up for this. Oh my god, is it Friday yet?"
6. When you realize you lost your summer
"I could be on the beach, yet I'm here. How much fun!"
7. A month later...
"Think of the money, think of the money, think of the money..."
8. When the days seem to get longer
"It seems like it's been an hour! *looks at clock* Only 15 minutes have passed? HOW!"
9. When the summer comes to an end
"Great, now school is here. My life rocks."
10. On your last day
"Bye guys! Thanks for all the good times and the lovely cash!"
At least the extra cash in your pocket is in some ways a reward of your hard work, even if working during the summer does suck.
