What To Do With Your Summer

Rachel Walla

  It's that time of year again. Everyone's leaving to go to their summer internships; packing their shit and getting the hell out of town.
We're all so relieved to leave this hell hole behind for a few months and make some money. That is, until you get out on the job and realize you're in East Jesus Nowhere and you're friends are all 1,000 miles away. Luckily though, summer internships usually put you on projects that are interesting and time-consuming enough that between keeping busy and making money things go pretty quickly and before you know it you're know it you're overjoyed to be back to

school and being broke.

  But what about those of you who didn't land a summer internship? What do you do with your summer? If you're not making money, and you're not leaving to go somewhere new and exciting; what do you have to look forward to? If you're living with your parents you really have nothing going for you except someone to do your laundry and cook for you. Plus, you won't have any money. Therefore you really shouldn't have a significant other because you can't afford to go out and you definitely can't take anyone back to your parents' house. 

The purpose of this article is to get you moving and making your summer awesome. If the job search hasn't worked out so well, there are plenty of alternatives.

1. Take a job that's beneath you. If you have to work at some menial fast-food job, you'll look awesome to the high-schoolers you work with. This might be your best chance to look

awesome for the summer.

2. Start your own business. Every old lady needs someone to lift heavy things around her house and mow her lawn. Just think, this could be your job! They usually provide damn good cookies and insist on paying in ten-dollar bills. Awesome.

3. Enjoy one last summer of being a slacker. This is nice because you get to live like you did growing up, with your parents paying the bills. They will wonder where they went so wrong in raising you and will be so glad to see you leave in the fall that you'll feel you've really done the world a service by making them so happy.

4. Get a tan. If nothing else works, try to become more attractive so if you can't land a job, you land a sugar momma. This I don't suggest personally, as a girl who hates being a sugar-momma.

  The thing is, if you haven't got a summer job, you better get your ass in gear and go get one. If you're not gonna do that; enjoy the things that are free and at your disposal. Like your mom's cooking and some awesome time in the sun.
