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.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
