Allllllllllllll summer long.

Once upon a time while I was doing some more thinking at work, I decided that I have a problem. Well, I have a few, but this one in particular is a big problem.

I hate summer.

Yes, you read that right. I hate it.

The definition of summer for me: working endless hours on end until my fingers bleed, my hair is full of fruit juice, and I can recite of every amount of every fruit in every smoothie. Fun? Nonexistant. Friends? Nope. Pool time? Once a week if I'm lucky. Just working, eating, and sleeping.

Summer used to mean fun, friends, vacation, and sunshine. But sadly, since graduating from high school, summer means working my tail off until I have enough money to last me through the next year. Which unfortunately means working as much as I possibly can with my minimum wage job. I've gotten over time the past 3 weeks and 40 hours exactly last week.

By all means, I'm not complaining... too much. I am so thankful that I have a job, so thankful that I can make enough money to last me through the next year, so thankful that I'm not having to go into debt or anything. But at the same time, I wish I was doing something... more. Something that means more, I guess. I wish I could be making a difference in somebody's life. I wish I was doing something that would be significant for my future. I wish... a lot of things.

So, thinking about it, even though I have a silly job that I probably complain about wayyyyy too much, I still can do all those things. I can make a difference by being happy, positive, optimistic me, trying to do what's right and praying to be an instrument in God's hands. I can do something significant for my future, I can constantly work on improving myself, to become the person I want to be.

And, I can have fun.

So, I made a list of things that I wanted to do this summer! Good things, weird things, fun things, odd things, lots of things. So, just wait. I shall complete my list. Mostly. Hopefully. Care to join me? Please do.

You know where to find me ;)
