Balancing college and work?

Question

In order to truly understand my situation- everyone needs to know that my financial aid is mostly consisted with my work study -so i will not spend one dime of that money towards nothing except school unless i want to end up being kick out for not being able to pay tuition and my dorm. Now back to the question, i will be attending school as a fulltime (12 hours) to keep my scholars. I also will have 15 hour work study program. But I need a real job to also keep my cell phone (our dorms dont have phones- its an extra fee per month) etc. so how am I going to do this with 12 hours in school, 15 hour work study, and 20 hour part-time job, and time to study? Is it even possible?

Answer 1

Success in college is about sacrifice and priorities.  If you think the cell phone is important enough to commit more  hours than both school and your Work Study job then go for it... but be aware this is your choice.

Ppl did exist without cell phones.  No mater what you say, they ARE a luxury.  

I'm not saying it's not impossible to succed in college while  working 35 hours a week and taking 12 hours... it's just making it harder on yourself... all for a cell phone.  

PS: 12 hours a semester is not enough if you want to graduate in 4 years. You need to be in at least 15.
