Wednesday August 16th
It’s super warm here today, so I am once again working at the library. I’m at a closer library to my apartment this morning so I can go home for lunch. I got an iced caramel toffee latte to keep me chilled as well.
I can’t believe it’s three weeks exactly until back to school. I am so excited to start, even though I have nothing prepared yet. I have to make a list of school supplies I need, plus get my apartment deep cleaned before school starts.
My summer job ends in a week and a half, so I am trying to get all the projects I am working on finished before I am done. I feel it’s attainable.

Lifeguarding is the best summer job and no one can tell be otherwise. You get to break all the rules and swim super late into the night and you get to work with cute guys? Like cmon, you can’t tell me that it doesn’t sound amazing.

Hi:) I'd have a pretty random question, I hope it's not a bother for you! My bf and I are thinking about doing a seasonal/summer job in Greece this summer, but for me it's a little difficult bc of family stuff I'd prefer to go for 1-2 months at most... Do you think it's possible in Greece, or do they usually stick to one person working through a whole season? Also, any tips or things we should look out for would be of great help, if you have some 😊 if not, that's fine though, have a great day anyway & p.s. I love your blog!!
I hate to do this but I am afraid I will have to discourage you from this. First of all, the high season is getting elongated year after year; I doubt the average Greek employer will have the patience to hire one employee for a little time and then find another. Then, a summer job in Greece means either of these 99% of the time: restaurant / tavern, cafe, hotel or beach bar. You know, that’s tough work. As in, bad tough, not good tough. You will probably work all day and night, leaving very late, only for sleep. You won’t have time to walk around and explore. If you find a beach bar, your best chance is stealing some time to take a swim at the beach daily. But you’re only gonna be in that one beach. I also don’t know where you are from. If you are from a northern country, please consider that roaming daily a Greek beach in the summer for work or making it through all the noisy tables next to the grills day come day go might be a condition your body isn’t adjusted for, quite honestly. Then it���s the payments; they notoriously do not pay well and offer hectic work conditions, if you come from a well paying country, you are going to be disappointed in this department. In fact, more and more young Greeks decide against summer jobs exactly because it’s more exploitation than work.
The best summer job I have seen in Greece is taking care of the Skyrian horses shelter in Skyros island. There were some French people there but I can’t even recall whether they were paid or they were volunteers! But if they get paid, don’t expect a good pay. However, if you are skilled with horses, this would be a pleasant job that could make you overlook the salary. Something environmental / ecotouristic might be a decent choice, if it’s close to your field of studies / expertise.
Still, in all honesty, I suggest you guys gather some money this year and come the next year for proper vacation, to chill or explore and enjoy some quality time.
* if any Greek has good experience with summer jobs 👀 please comment

Playing Genshin and then getting a call from the place I applied for the summer somehow fits right into my humour.
I mean out of all the things I could’ve done I was at sick leave playing GENSHIN of all games and I got a call “Heyy we’re inviting you to the job interview!”
ME? You have the wrong guy, I swear TvT

Working an overnight desk job by myself is the dream.
It’s 3am and I’m getting paid to eat handfuls of fruity pebbles while listening to Hozier and doodling on sticky notes.

Why the fuck are kids so mean I’m jc at a camp and I work with 6-8 year olds and we were in the art room and I was showing the counselor I was working with something that happened to me on Tumblr that I was very excited about and I was showing her the artwork that one of my favorite artist had liked that was very unpopular, and the kids decided that this would be a good time to say that my art style looked ugly and I had to keep myself calm and remember that I’m older than them and not to say anything mean but I told them how are you gonna say something when you can’t even draw princess peach good
