Working multiple jobs teaches you how to master a busy schedule. College students usually have the whole “busy schedule” thing down (or at least they think they do), but that usually consists of pushing assignments aside until last minute, but unfortunately we can’t do that with work. Working at multiple jobs teaches you so many different work ethics and how to be successful in totally different job fields, but more importantly than all of that, it teaches you to appreciate your free time. You are no longer able to wake up whatever time you want and watch Netflix all day or troll twitter in your oversized t shirt, but you have to stick to a schedule and that means getting enough sleep to work two jobs as well.

As much planning that goes into your week, I know we all thoroughly enjoy the days that we don’t have any plans and we get to decide what and when we want to do things! But as far I know, food is a common love, free time is always a time for good food. Make yourself the grand breakfast that you haven’t had time for all week, or go out with a friend! Personally on my days off I’ll either be in my bed, or at a coffee shop getting in some quality coffee time or doodling on napkins.

When you think of tomorrow most of us immediately get stressed on how much stuff we have to do and working multiple jobs on the same day has definitely brought that out of me. But, on the other hand, my day off is appreciated so much more than just a day that I don’t have to go to class. It is a whole new freedom that you experience when you aren’t just “too busy” with activities but you are working multiple jobs or working so much that you see a whole new value in those spare few hours!

Take the time and spend it with your friends, but still take some time to be by yourself and appreciate that you actually have nothing to do. Yes, I know responsibilities don't just disappear on your day off, but we all know they don't disappear when we have to work either so take advantage of the few moments even if they are brief to thoroughly enjoy yourself and what you want to do. Even if that means a day trip, you finally get your own schedule to follow!

Go to a coffee shop and enjoy a cup of coffee with your friends or enjoy a danish at a bakery because you've worked your butt off all week for this! Since food is always relevant you could even take advantage of going to the store to get snacks to take to work. Embrace the day with food, friends, and relaxing because you now truly understand the new sense of freedom in an off day because of all your hard work.
