I am having such a hard time lately with my summer plans, because I guess I have yet to latch on to the fact that I am supposed to be a responsible adult now. I have a part-time job, and once classes are over I am going to hold onto that for dear life, because it is the best job I've ever had, and works perfectly around my classes. However, I've been thinking a lot about getting a second job to save up money for my expenses next year and I almost can't bring myself to do it. I must stlil be stuck in the phase where I figure everything will just drop into my lap. I realize that I should have a second job, and I know if I don't do something I will go completely insane! But what is the correct answer for an activity, because I still feel like there is something better I could do with my time than creating myself a secret stash of money. Volunteering? Internship? Yard work? In previous summers I had a job cooking at a Boy Scout camp, and that pretty much didn't leave me with much time to spare. I mean, I barely had time to eat, sleep, or breathe! Now that I have all these options of summer activities I seem to have boggled my brain!




Perhaps you can find a second job that you enjoy. Otherwise, find a volunteer opportunity that you love. Sure, you won't make any money volunteering, but you can gain valuable experience that can help you land your future dream job, as well as giving you a sense of accomplishment in helping others.
That's a really great idea! That's kind of the way I'm leaning right now, because you can never go wrong helping people out.
I really know what you mean...I can't seem to get a grip on the whole I have to be an adult now thing...I mean I do work...a lot...and it definitely helps with the money thing....but I still want to do teen stuff...like this summer I'm going to Vegas (okay this one is for a competition)...and then California...and then with my boyfriend to Chicago for athefest (okay technically this one could be tagged an educational conference)...but I'm lucky enough to have a work schedule that works around all of that...but I'm not being very adult about it considering I'm getting my parents and family to pay for the majority of it...I just don't want the responsibility.
