What Your Summer Job Says About You
jobsamerica.info

Since the majority of students everywhere are out for summer that means one thing. Summer jobs. By now its basically a requirement, we're in college and everyone knows college kids are broke. And adding a little extra something to your resume doesn't hurt either.

Here's what your summer job says about you:

The Intern: This kid more than likely already has their life together. They probably have their life mapped out right up until the day they die. They work a 9-to-5 job all week so we already know their motto is "work hard, play harder." Internships prepare you for the real world, they show you what it's like to have a career and to be an adult.

The Nanny: Not many people would want to take part in a job that requires cleaning up constant messes, listening to screaming children all day and basically taking on every responsibility a mother has, but this kid does. I'm not sure how great nannying looks on a resume but making ten dollars an hour or more sounds great. Plus nannys get great perks, like getting to go to the zoo, the movies, paid in cash and getting a week or two off when the family goes on vacation.

The Camp Counselor: This kid loves the outdoors and being surrounded by billions of kids. They love every kind of outdoor activity and crafting. Their parents probably sent them to same camp they work out when they were little and now they can't ever leave the place. While watching after all the little campers, they're secretly trying to turn them into soon-to-be camp counselors.

 The Lifeguard: This kid is probably tan year round. As a child they probably spent everyday at the lake, the pool or the beach. Just like the nanny they're around all days, but not as their care taker. The lifeguard gets to work with a bunch of people that are their age which makes work a little more bearable. And who wouldn't want to get to paid to sit in a chair and work on getting a tan?

The Waiter/Waitress: Some may say these kids aren't quite ready for adulting just yet. They like not having that strict 40 hours a week 9-to-5 job. These kids are more fun because while everyone else is going to bed early because they have to be at work between the hours of 7 and 9, these kids aren't even done with their shift until after 10. They don't have to be up early either, so why go home after a shift when you could go out with your friends?

The Kid Without A Job: This is the kid who is always complaining in the group chat because no one can hangout at 4 pm.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
