The Process Of Getting A Summer Job As Told By 'New Girl'

You come home from school after busting your butt of a stressful semester and taking finals, and all you want to finally do is relax. Between friendships, sorority obligations, schoolwork, clubs, and having a social life there is barely time for anything. But, when you come home it finally hits you that you can't relax quite just yet...you have to find yourself a summer job before the rest of the college kids in your town come and take them all up. You kind of wish to yourself that you set up an internship for the summer, but who the hell wants an "unpaid" internship....definitely not me. As much as I would love the experience, unfortunately my great looks are not going to fill up my gas tank on its own or buy me any of the summer clothes I wish for.

1. You come home from college and you realize that you are poor as sh*! because your parents have been the ones putting money in your account all semester and you have no way of supporting yourself.


2. You become angry with yourself because you want to treat your fine-ass self to some new clothes and sneakers, but realize you have no money to do so. I mean, hey, you just pushed through a really rough semester. You should be rewarded with something…right?

3. Well, you then decide to ask your parents for some money just so you can at least get started. They can’t possibly expect you to go job hunting without any gas in your car.

4. You call at least seven places and strangely enough, “nobody is hiring.” You Google every place you can possibly think of before you start considering giving up.

5. You then think to yourself that you like kids, so why not become a babysitter… What a fantastic idea! So you apply online to about 12 applications.

6. Well, somebody finally calls you back after filling out the 4,000 applications you applied to online.

7. You become super excited and put on your best outfit to try and impress the manager who will be interviewing you.

8. You are then asked to check off which days you are available and think to yourself how you just want to be an adult already because who the hell wants to work on a weekend when you could be getting your tan on down the shore.

9. Luckily, you kill your interview and the manager asks you to come back again tomorrow for a follow up. You get so excited because Hello Money.

10. You get the job and you feel totally good about yourself because now you can buy yourself all of the things you want (even though most of it will probably ending up going toward food and alcohol, but whatever).

11. You finally start your first day of work and you think to yourself how lovely it would be if you could get paid to binge watch Netflix all day because in reality that is what you would rather be doing.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.
