ok so take what i say with a grain of salt bc i absolutely despise working and i think work is super dumb and shouldn't be the default of life

but i would never take this job lol. you've just had school for 9 months, don't take on even more responsibilities when you're supposed to finally have some time off!! i get not wanting to do nothing for the whole summer, but this sounds like way too much & also sounds like you don't want to do it at all

yeah no i agree with you on that, this whole process has made me start thinking about existential things (do i have to suffer to be worthy of getting a decent job in the future and w/e) and me being even more bothered than before by how people/recruiters expecting us to study 100% and work extra all year around + work full time during the summer. it's insane!!

the job isn't the worst i could get but to speak to people 7 hours a day and shit might not be most fun lmfao

uuuhhh just chill tbh,, or hang out with friends ! my friends work only a few days a week so there's often always someone available. i work like one full day a week i think, i clean so i do that a few evenings i think it adds up to 8-10 hours a week or smth

also too much work is shit if you're not able\willing to do so

i think i would see it differently if the job was in the same town as my friends/bf but it's in the town i study, where i don't have any close friends which sucks.... i would just be alone during the evenings and have to take the bus 2-3 hours to get to any friends/bf during the weekends, which i've done throughout the year and it kind of sucks

It sounds really shitty, I have a hard time as it is just thinking of getting a job so I would NOT do that to myself

uuh yeah that sounds good :--( my one friend works full time and the other works like, 50%. i'm glad u've found a job that isn't too many hours/week!!

also i wish i could chill at my parents' but they have company during the whole summer and i would feel bad being a slob in front of them (they are my godmother and her 14 y/o son...?)
