I came home from work today and the first words out of my mom's mouth is, "I'm happy because the finaid package we received this year was really good," so here I am thinking that my family's finanial situation would be better this year since it was something we both worried about but then as I am resting she tells me I'm now a work-study student and therefore am REQUIRED to have a job this year.

I have an off-campus job near my dorm that I was planning on continuing, since it pays slightly higher than minimum wage and I've been working at the same company over the summer at home too, so I worried about juggling two jobs at the same time. The finaid job, to my understanding, gives me a bigger chance to get money to spend on books and stuff over the year, and the ones I'm looking at are paying slightly higher than minimum wage but I think the best thing for me is to get as much money as possible to lessen the blow of college on our family financial gig.

Also, as someone who has finally tentatively decided an area of study, I feel now obligated to join a club related to the environment, but I am also wanting to get more involved in the rest of the extracurricular activities like joining a dance club (even though I'm really super bad at structured dancing so the chances of me getting into a dance club is really, really low) and I'm already on the listhost for the college tv network despite not getting the leadership position I applied for last year. Of course, this is all before school actually starting, so while I plan out a busy, packed future for me, I'm probably going to trickle down to the me of last year that sat in my room often and moped about my life.

school, random, ghetto homelife, whining
