So it was our Spring Break this week..FINALLY. After a long week of studying for midterms (sort of) we get a break. Theres nothing like being able to sit around for one week and not be worried about a single thing......wait a second! thats right! I'm more stressed out now than I was before break...during exam week! Now I get to worry about summer internships, jobs and "planning experiences" as my dad likes to call it...since Ive missed most deadlines for summer internships. Anyways I was talking to my Dad about what I could possibly do this summer thats exciting and its honestly impossible. There are so many opportunities out there its hard to grasp just one and put all your effort into getting it. Just tonight I started an application not only to the UN, helping a team in the Asia Pacific to understand and improve an island's sustainability, but also to a Cruise ship on Cruise.com (or something like that).your probably thinking..."Really...a cruise?" But how fun would that be. And how much would everyone (probably) want to do that. On the application you had list your top 4 choices of jobs on the ship. I chose #1: Arts and Crafts Coordinator #2:Deck Hand #3:Photographer and #4:Youth Activities Coordinator. I think getting this job would be the coolest thing ever. I actually always kind of wanted to work on a cruise ship. For different reason though...during different phases of my life. Back when I was obsessed with becoming a chef, I totally wanted to work in the kitchen on a ship and travel around all summer. But the more I thought about that, the less fun i thought it would be. Making food, couped up in a kitchen all day when everyones outside on the beach in the Cayman Islands sounds tempting, but I'll pass. Then there was that phase when I was sure I was going to make the most of my Spanish skills. I was on a cruise and watching the events coordinator up on stage. She must have spoke at leas 10 languages fluently and it was amazing listening her speak with such ease. I still think that would be incredible, if it came naturally. But it doesn't so now i just want to do arts and crafts or something easier and more fun. Anyways, this blog wasn't really supposed to be about my "summer experiences" but hey I'll just write about my Spring Break some other time.

The good thing about having breaks is that one can get to relax and have the opportunity to earn and save money. Most students like to work in places like the mall or some restaurant or fast food. What I would like to do is to get cruise ship summer jobs as it is a great way to earn good money and see the world for free. It is also a great chance to meet new friends from the different parts of the world and learn about their cultures.
