It May Be Summer Break, But I'm Still Working

I want fun and relaxation but I have to work all summer long.

It May Be Summer Break, But I'm Still Working

I started my summer break on May 7, 2019. I didn't get home until around 4 pm. I sat at home, catching up with my family that I missed so much. The next day, I had to go to my job to be able to sign a paper from a mandatory in-service that I missed while I was away at school. Without signing it, I wouldn't be able to work until I do. So while I was waiting for the person that had to paper to come into work, I went around the nursing home visiting all the residents that I missed. Then I stayed in my mom's office until I had to sign the in-service paper.

Well another CNA had to go home because she had a fever. And one of my supervisors came and asked if I wanted to work that day. I never planned to. I was gonna sign that paper and spend time with my mom. I just wanted to visit especially since I just got home the day before. I wasn't even home for at least 24 hours that day. I haven't even unpacked yet. So I ended up working about six hours that day. I didn't mind that much because I had a partner that helped me and also I need the money. Being a broke college student isn't fun.

So my entire summer is going to consist of working and online classes. Hopefully, I am able to spend time with some friends because I do deserve it. I worked really hard this semester. I made sure I kept my grades up. I worked my hardest to make sure I was prepared for my music audition. Now I'm going to be working my hardest to pass these two summer classes. And I'm going to make sure I have money saved up for the fall semester.

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.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

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.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

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!
