When it comes down to being broke in college or having a part time job, we will choose anything but being broke. Most of these jobs though, take advantage of their student workers and have the highest level of standards. With that being said, these are the things you start to notice when you're working way too much for your college job.

1. According to your employer - Your job is more important than anything else, even school.


2. You think you can work more than five days a week like you don't need sleep or anything.


3. Employer tries stay open later then they're supposed to, then tells you that work is your plans and only plans.


4. You're given one day off within the week and they still try to call you in.


5. You don't get to have weekend days off, even though that's the only days you can actually sleep in.


6. When you realize you applied for a part-time job, but in reality, you're actually working full time.


7. Your days literally start to repeat themselves, only consisting of work, school, and sleep.


8. Your grades start slipping.


9. Your friends or even significant other, rarely ever see you.


10. You have no life, work is your life.


You're job has literally consumed you, even though this is not the job you are gonna have the rest of your life. You're in school to further your education, not work every free moment you have. Everyone knows that its hard to stick up to your employer, but YOU are in control of your life. Do not let them take advantage of you and be the reasons you don't succeed or graduate.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
