No I Don't Have A Full-Time Job But, No I Don't Have Time To Spend With You

And it isn't because you aren't important to me.

No I Don't Have A Full-Time Job But, No I Don't Have Time To Spend With You
Brandy Reiser

Do I have a full-time job? No. Do I have time to spend with you? No. Why? Because I have three part-time jobs and I am a full-time student. Sure I don't have a full-time job but with everything that I am doing every day in my life means that if you want to hang out with me you have to ask me in advance by at least a week. I have to put it in my planner and if I don't have time that week I am going to tell you no.

My jobs and my education are a little more important than spending a half hour or an hour with you. We are still friends but I am going to work and make money every chance I have and I am going to study hard because my grades are important. I know what I need as my overall grade point average to be able to get into graduate school so that I can eventually have a masters degree.

At the end of the day I still love my friends and my family but at the end of the day if it comes down to a chance to make money or to spend the extra couple of hours studying for an exam or writing a paper I will do that over spending time with important people in my life. This isn't because I don't want to spend time with people that are important in my life it's because other things take priority in my life.

At the end of the day, I may not have a full-time job but I have three part-time jobs and I am a full-time student. At the end of the day, those who are important in my life know that I am busy and that I am not blowing them off but instead that I am just trying to do the best that I can for myself.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
