SUMMER IS ALMOST HERE BABY GIRL! For everyone who has awesome plans like going on a road trip or summering somewhere special to work or stay with friends, I am insanely jealous.
Some of us less fortunate students will be spending this summer working. Whether that is going to be for an internship or working on a generic summer job, it sucks either way. Not much you can do about it, college costs money and so does everything else you want.
In this post I want to talk about how bullshit it is that we never truly have an extended break. Nobody does. Parents, adults, CEOs, students, etc. After maybe your freshman year summer in high school it just goes down hill.
Basically the rest of my life looks like this: go to college for a few months every year, work the rest of the months so that I can go back to college the next year. When I graduate college I'll work every day with occasional breaks lasting no longer than a week or two. Sick.
I miss the summers of middle school and freshman year where I legitimately had not a single care in the world. Go to the town beach every single day, bike to friends house since we didn't have our licenses yet, hang out with girls, etc. Those were the best days and they are never coming back.
Yeah the parties are better and we can practically do whatever we want, but I feel as if I'm facing a locked in fate of working for the rest of my life and it intimidates me. I want to experience things, I want to travel, I want to live off the land for a year at some point. I want to do cool ass shit that I probably won't get to do that much of because I'm going to be in constant need of that green shit that runs our lives.
Just something to think about, it's kind of fucked up.
Ps. This will be me this summer:
