 Hello, my name is Lauren Carter and I'm a second-year communication student. Today I'm going to talk about working and college. For three years now, along with doing college, that's how you want to pull it. At the start I was kind of difficult, especially in first year when I had five holidays at college instead of a day off. Not like communications I know, but every Saturday I was in work every single Saturday. It was like, by way of social life, by way of friends. It was college and then work. So that was kind of hard. This year now, my hours in college are I have Tuesdays and Wednesdays off, so I can work for both of those and then sometimes I work Saturdays as well. So that's kind of handy that I can fit it around my schedule this year more so. Around exam times and stuff, it can be a little bit hard to juggle with study and especially with assignments here and stuff. I work most nights, so it's a little bit hard to juggle, but I've seen to find a way around it, kind of. Money is good, of course. Who doesn't love money? I'm a shopholic, so I absolutely love having money. However, it does have its downsides. Say hello to Mr. Budget. Every month I have a budget. I feel like 30 years old. Like, you officially know you're an adult when you have to budget every single month. Phone bill, car insurance, all that jazz. It's not good. That's the one downside to having money. One handy thing about my job would be that they actually have a savings scheme for us where they take a certain percentage of my wages every week and they'll put it away and save it for us and for however long you want. So I've set up a savings scheme for three years now and I'm hoping that it'll save up enough for when and if I decide to do the masters after college. This was my vlog on working and college and I hope you enjoyed it.
