Remember when you were 16 and getting a job for the summer was easy? All you had to do was choose between scooping ice cream and being a lifeguard, and from there, you introduced yourself, told them you were available for literally any shift they’d give you, and you were hired. (Oh, what I would give to return to simpler times!) As adults, the opposite is true. The lead-up to summer doesn’t come with a side of excitement, a leisurely reading list, and endless employment opportunities.

A story that starts with “You’re never going to believe what happened” is my kryptonite. It grabs my attention, locks me in, and has me addicted to the chaotic details. And when the storyline involves something going very wrong just to end up going very right, I feel like I got a front row ticket to the best movie in the theatre.

Talk to anyone on the job hunt, and they’ll tell you that the word “hunt” is a laughable understatement.

I grew up in an upper-middle-class neighborhood, took week-long spring break and summer vacations every year, and almost always got what I wanted for my birthday. I had a TV in my bedroom, a pool in my backyard, and fresh sneakers at the start of every school year. My parents swiped their credit cards constantly, and as a kid, I thought nothing of it. But as I got older, I noticed their “How are we going to pay this?” and “Just use the other card” whisper-yells.

If you cancelled your Peacock subscription after Love Island USA wrapped last summer, I’m sorry to say that reinstating it just became non-negotiable. Its record-breaking season last year made the show a major pop culture moment, leaving fans wondering what show, or more specifically, what cast, could ever top it. After season 6 ended, Leah Kateb told People that we’d see more of the PPG (a.k.a. PowerPuff Gang), but we’ve been left with nothing but teasers—until now.
