I Need A Job
I have too much free time and I really don't like not making money. As soon as I got to campus I applied for every work study job I could and I literally got a call or an email from every employer only to find out I don't even have work study. Apparently I did qualify for work study but the funds ran out before I could get awarded any. I think that really unfair because there are people that don't even know they have work study and people that could just care less about it but I could actually use work study. I haven't been without a job in three years and it is really annoying. I know I could just get a real job but I really didn't know if I could handle the responsibility of an off-campus job and all of my classes my first semester here. Unfortunately it seems like I will be working at McDonalds or something next semester if the Financial Aid office doesn't give me some work study funds. I have been considering donating plasma because my friend does it religiously but I am not okay with needles. Hopefully, I can work enough during the holiday to appease my needs or I will be really unhappy, which seems to be a common trend for me these days.
