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.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
