When I came home in May for my first summer back from college, I had all kinds of visions of hanging out with my high school friends, working on my tan, and having a relaxing summer after a long year of school.
And then reality set in. After a year at college, all of my graduation money and savings from previous summer jobs had mysteriously disappeared. So my actual summer has been an internship, a part time job, and babysitting every chance I get. Needless to say, I am still pretty pale.
I have mixed feelings about it- I know it is good that I am working. But sometimes I think, "After college I am going to be working the rest of my life and I wish I didn't have to right now."
I guess it doesn't matter anyway, because it turns out all of my friends are just as busy working as I am, so the irony is that they wouldn't be able to hang out even if I could.
I guess this is my warm welcome to adulthood. Yippee.
