"Hey Seventeeners, Sorry, I haven&amp;#039;t updated in FOREVER. I&amp;#039;ve had some things going on that I&amp;#039;ve been dealing with that were making it tough for me to stay on top of my work. But no worries, here I am :) I&amp;#039;ve come to the conclusion that I am OFFICIALLY a broke college student. An absolutely, 110% poor-as-can-be college student. (It&amp;#039;s rather depressing.) No more trips to the mall, no more quick pick-me-up coffees, no more movies, no more candy, no more dollar bus rides, no more Taco Bell... yeah, you get the picture. It&amp;#039;s awful! So, I&amp;#039;ve decided to do something about it... *dun dun dun*... get a job! You&amp;#039;d think this would be the standard, typically expected solution to such a problem, but I feel like it&amp;#039;s different now. You see, I&amp;#039;d never really minded having a job before. I always had a job throughout high school. I started working at Dairy Queen when I was 16, and then added on another job last summer by starting up at a country club. See, back then, job life was easy. I&amp;#039;d go to school, come home, do my homework, and then GET IN MY CAR, go to work, GET BACK IN MY CAR, drive home, chill around my house, then go to bed. If you haven&amp;#039;t figured out the major problem by now, let me fill you in: I don&amp;#039;t have a car here :/ This makes getting a job (not to mention maintaining a job,) a whoooole lot harder. Problem number two is the fact that in college, the workload is basically (for lack of better example) high school work on steroids. I&amp;#039;m ALWAYS busy! So, I&amp;#039;m worried I won&amp;#039;t be able to cram all of my responsibilities into one day. Oh, life... I won&amp;#039;t complain about it though, it&amp;#039;s just one of those things that pretty much every college kid has to face at one point or another. In order to make it through okay, youhave to be optimistic. Which is what I plan on doing :) Now, the question is, where to work? Hollister Co. or Scheels Sports Store? Help me out on this one, lovelies! More on that next week! Carly Ever been tight on money and not sure how to handle it? Share your tips or comments in the comment section below!
