How to Manage Multiple Jobs

Having more than one part-time job in college can be daunting, but it may be necessary. It may feel great to be bringing in two revenue streams, but having more than one job and being a full-time student can take its toll. Managing your time well during these commitments is the proper road to success. As a current full-time college student, with two jobs, and an internship, I am a trustworthy source this topic. Here are some tips to easily regulate your time, and your part time jobs.

1. Motivation

Motivation can be great for getting the job, and maintaining that drive in the workplace. If you feel like you are too overwhelmed or "over it", just remember to constantly remind yourself why you have two jobs. Maybe you are saving up for something special, or you need more income to pay monthly bills, or you are just proud that have two jobs in the first place. Motivation will help you to better manage your time and stress, when it comes to having multiples part time jobs.

2. Scheduling work

If your work schedule is all over the place because you have more than one job, come up with a new one that you can manage better. Maybe it would be better to keep one job for the morning, and one for the afternoon. Figure out something that will help make your life feel less hectic. Make sure you allow yourself to have breaks, as it can get exhausting, if you do not stop and take some time for yourself. Constantly working and going to school can inhibit your ability to be successful in your commitments. Get enough sleep and relax accordingly.

3. Communicate

Your second job probably knows that you already have another job, if you listed it on your resume, or discussed it during your interview. It's okay to have more than one job, and your employers understand that. You can discuss this topic with your bosses, and discuss ways to succeed with them. It is better for your employers to know that you have another job, because if they did not know, they will eventually find out anyway. It's better for them to know that you are a busy college student that has a lot going on, and they have to understand that.

4. School comes first

School becomes so ingrained into our daily routine, that we often forget that it is our main priority. As with employers, communicate with your professors if needed. Your professors can be very helpful with providing information or assistance when you are in a busy period. Some professors may not be as accommodating as others, but it never hurts to ask.

If you maintain your goals, and you're getting that money, you should be proud! It is not easy juggling so many different engagements, but know that you're doing it, and that in itself is awesome. Try to stay sane through all of it, and know that your priorities are in the right place!

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

Yes, the math major is doing a math-related post. What are the odds? I'll have to calculate it later. Many people have probably learned about the Fibonacci sequence in their high school math classes. However, I thought I would just refresh everyone's memories and show how math can be beautiful and apply to physical things everywhere around us with stunning examples.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.
