With summertime fast approaching, it’s common that jobs come across more applications from teenagers. But how easy is it to get these jobs? With lack of experience and the common assumption by employers that teenagers are lazy and irresponsible, it’s no wonder it is almost impossible for teenagers to get these jobs.

Though the legal age to work in California is 16, more and more jobs are making their hiring age 18. This might be due to legal reasons enforced by the company's’ headquarters or the individual store managers' requirements. For example, my friend and I went to the mall to go job hunting and I personally began paying attention to reactions from the employees already working there when she asked for an application. Younger employees merely grabbed an application and handed it to her without judgmental looks or comments. However, I noticed at other stores where there were older women working, we were looked up and down and immediately asked “How old are you?”.

After months and months of vocalizing our desire to get our navels pierced, my friend Christina and I finally went through with it.

Saturday morning her mom and her came by to pick me up, and we were on our way to Berkeley. Driving there, our conversations were filled with nerves, anxiety, and excitement over the outcome of our new piercing.

When we got there our nerves took over and we had to push any small chance of doubt in the back of our heads.

Anyone who is looking to watch a movie that is completely out of the norm should definitely watch District 9, which was released on Blu-Ray and DVD around last Christmas. Although someone might look at movie and say,” oh it’s just another alien movie,” District 9 is far much more. The movie is about a large group of aliens that become stranded in Johannesburg, South Africa. After the aliens are discovered, they are given refuge at a government site; however, this is not given to them under pleasant terms. The area they are given quickly begins to resemble a slum, due to their harsh mistreatment by the government. The aliens are forced to start dealing in illegal arms and join gangs in order to barely survive, until they are able to find a way to get back home.
