Who starts college mid year? ME! Starting mid year was not my first choice, but I had to take a break from school to work and get some extra moola! At times I wish things were easier and I didn’t have to worry so much about working for extra money while going to school. I want to concentrate on school and finish without so many distractions. There will always be this bill or that bill regardless, and ‘it is what it is’, as the saying goes.
Not only has starting college mid year put me that far behind, but it stresses my parents out as well. They help me with what they can but they’re constantly reminding me that living with them free room and board should set me in the right direction and my needs for cash should be non-existent. Do they realize I have to have a social life, that I need gas money to get around, that I have bills like a car note, what else… the list goes on and on. Don’t get me wrong I’m thankful for their help, I just wish they’d understand I have wants and needs that warrants me needing to work as well as going to school. Enough of my venting, can you tell this has been a slight issue around here!
My fellow classmates, what do you do in this situation? Do you work and go to school full time making it work or is working and going to school full time too much for you? Maybe you need a break now and again. Please share with me by commenting below if you take breaks and how it affects you.
