So, first a little background story; I’m 20 years old, at college and as of the time I’m writing this I’m currently home for the summer. To be honest, I’m constantly either bored or working during summer break and this year has been no different. The only real fun I have is drinking with my friends who I haven’t seen for most of the year. A bottle of whiskey and long walks at night is prime time to catch up, reminisce and discuss the complicated world around us. But apart from these nights I’m usually just waiting for College to start again….
However, an incident happened to me last week that completely shifted my view on being home for the summer. As I already mentioned, most of the time I’m working, which happens to be in a cinema. It’s a classic summer job; I work with people my own age, we do very little work and most of the time just goof around. I’ve been there for 3 years now, I just pick up more shifts when I’m home for the holidays, so it suits me. The only thing about the job that doesn’t suit me is that it is in the next town over from where I live, about a 20 minute drive. This doesn’t seem like much but 40 minute drives, to and from work takes up a lot of gas for a 20 year old who is earning minimum wage.
