Working 12+ hours on your feet is hard. Working weekends with no day to rest from class and my internship is even harder. Although I've always thought of myself as a money driven person I recently have found myself thinking...
Is it worth it?
Sure, the money could be great. But at what cost? Missing family birthdays, time with my boyfriend, and other 22 year old social life experiences. I work through the weekend with the only time for myself being to sleep.
It worth it?
Not to mention what the work consist of. Constantly running around being attentive to people, serving food and drinks and watching people my own age have fun with their friends.
Is it worth it?
Being a hard worker is more a curse than a blessing. The truth is I am hooked. Working long and hard hours for cash, the whole grind experience, its just appealing to me. I am always on the go. When I have nothing to do I can't stand it. But HELLO I am missing out on being young and going out and enjoying life.
Is it worth it?
I'll keep you posted.
It doesn't seem like an easy thing to do at all. Especially at this age where there are so many entertaining things going on that you want to do with friends! I admire your willingness to work. Just try to always have time for yourself and loved ones because that can have negative effects you need rest too! :)
ReplyDeleteI definitely understand what you mean! I work full time and go to school full time, and a lot of people I know don't understand how or why I do it. Life of a college student, and something has to pay the bills!
ReplyDeleteIts hard to find time to spend with family and friends, and I find myself showing up to the odd event, or scheduling a random hang out at 11 pm on a tuesday when I'm free. Its hard to manage both, but that's why I try to schedule days off every other week so I can see the people I care about, and have "me" time. Its worth it. You can't work so hard if you don't have anyone to share it with.
