Summer is all about hype, we're going to do this and we're going to do that, but what it boils down to is quite simple. I am going to see the same people all summer and most likely do just about the same things with them over and over again, but I wouldn't trade it for anything because my friends are awesome!
Another thing I love about summer is sunscreen, not because I use it (because I usually don't), but because so many people are paranoid to not use it! I always get a great laugh when I see someone applying SPF 3000, but if they believe there's a benefit, then why the hell not! So go on, lather it up and get it all over your body! Lifeguards also make summer great. I have never actually seen a lifeguard do anything except sit around and catch sun rays all day and yell at people for going too far out in the ocean. They literally get paid to cast their aura over the pool or beach that they are "watching over." I have nothing against lifeguards, in fact, one of my very good friends is a lifeguard and we joke about his job all the time.
Is that guy going past the buoy? |
Actually, when I think about it, most summer jobs can justly be labeled comical. It's not just lifeguards, they just stick out in my mind because they have a strong connection with summer (and they barely do anything, no offense intended). My summer job for example, I work at a movie theater (because I'm not one of the chosen ones to work as a promise filled intern!) and spend most of my time dealing with morons and their ridiculous questions. I find it entertaining when I'm asked why the screen looks like shit while I'm standing at concessions. Do I look like I know? At least I can laugh about these instances to myself and later! I won't have the opportunity to serve dumb-asses my whole life, right? Guess we'll find out! Basically, summer jobs suck ass but that's also why they're great! Summer jobs are a guiding light because of the great message they send to youth: go to college so you don't have to do this stupid shit for the rest of your life, asshole!
Well, it's only June 3rd, so there's still time to hype up the summer! I'm ecstatic for ideas falling by the wayside and filling out Mad Libs all summer!
