You may think working in college is great;Â you become a more independent person and getting that paycheck feels fantastic. However, if you work and go to school you know the struggle.
1.  You’re always tired.
Admit it. Your go-to excuse is “I was working all day yesterday.” Plus, you’ve probably picked up a few extra hours and that doesn’t help your constant exhaustion.
2. You can never hang out with friends.
You’re always working. If you’re not, you’re trying to get all your homework and studying caught up from the week before. Â
3. You spend your whole paycheck on unnecessary things.
C’mon, you didn’t need to eat out six times last week. But food is life.
4. You never get anything done.
You always tell yourself you’ll do your homework when you get off, but you don’t. You say you’ll do it before you go into work. You don’t. Instead, you’re taking a five hour nap.
5. That paycheck is nice, though.
That paycheck you just got will make you cry tears of joy, then sorrow because it’ll be spent in two days (max). When you do have the chance to go out, you don’t have to worry about not having enough money!
6. You got this.
Even though working and pursuing a degree is hard work, you’re doing it. You’ve got this.
