Who do I want to be?
I will be a senior now in highschool and I have no clue what I want to go to college for. Its summer and I dont have a job, all my friends and my boyfriend have summer jobs. I don't want to be stuck at home all summer bored to death. I have been looking for a job but my mom is so picky she wont let me have a job at a fast food restuarant and some other places. How can I figure out what I want to with my summer and my life??

Dear bored,
Its completely normal to "have no clue what [you] want to go to college for." When I first went I didn't know, and even now I still don't. As far as summer goes, maybe look into different colleges. Keep your mind busy by reading. Maybe exercise. Hang outdoors. Just keep busy and I'm sure you'll have an amazing summer! Take luck and keep in touch!

About college .. you can talk to your guidance counselors. They will help you to decide what you can go to college for. And you can always go for general studies and just continue education! For the summer - just keep looking for a job! Talk to your mom about it and tell her that you really want to be busy this summer & hopefully she wont be as picky as to where you can work!

Look for volunteer work, sometimes it is more fun. Is there a girl scout camp in your area. You can volunteer there, and spend eight weeks in the woods with young campers, who will think you wonderful, and look up to you. And you will be so tired when you get home. The summer will just fly by. And they do pay a token amount if you are 16 or over. Sometimes they have transportation available. Your mom shouldn't mind you being in an all girls camp all summer, maybe your boyfriend won't mind either.
It is a lot of fun and really helps out a lot if kids. If no girl scout, then maybe a YMCA or a BOys & Girls Club camp. They always need volunteers. You feel great about yourself after helping some young kids and being a good influence on them. They will think your great!

It's normal to not know what you want to be. I'm 30 and still not sure. *wink* But as far as summer jobs go, that your mom might approve of, there's retail (Sears, Kmart, Home Depot, etc.), temp agencies (Manpower, Adecco, etc.), data-entry/file clerk in a small office or seasonally busy big office, lifeguarding at a local pool, bagging at a grocery store, etc. You don't HAVE to work at a fast food joint.
As for other options to what to do with your summer: take a class at your community center or community college (it's cheap, just make sure you take something you would enjoy), take up a couple of hobbies, hang with your friends when they aren't working, read a lot, etc.
All I can do is make suggestions, the rest is up to you. You either have the motivation to take control and do things that you enjoy, if anything at all. Try making a list of the things you would like to do or places you would like to work and go from there.
Hope this helps and good luck.

for a summer job, try looking for one at the mall! it seems like it would be fun [im not sure though because i work @ a food place] but if you work at a clothes store, pick one you really like because most of them give their employees a 10 percent discount! for your life, when you get to college, just dont pick a major as a freshman. do alot of different minors and eventually you will realize what you like to do! also take some different electives as a senior as opposed to cooking lol. ill be a sophmore next year and im taking journalism, and over the summer id like to volenteer at a hospital, just to see what i like and stuff! just try getting into different hobbies that could lead to a career! hope this helps xoxo
