There's no one to talk to, so I'll rant

Just a few years ago when I began college I believed I needed to work my a** off. I always balanced work and classes. This went on for a period of time. And soon by the end of the week I was always feeling emotionally drained and exhausted. I broke down a few times from being so tired. Life wasn't the best for me.

However, I still believed that working my a** off would pay off in the end. A year ago I worked 7 days a week. And in between those times I would study and go to class. During the weekdays I would work at school and during the weekend I would work at a fast food restaurant. I didn't feel it was tiring, but I eventually wore myself out. Honesty did not play the best part for me.

And then at the beginning of this year I lost my job b/c of a misunderstanding and some mistakes. Though the things that went missing were found a few days  later I did not feel any better knowing that. That job scarred me and I had a lot of dreams about that job and waking up would make me feel awful. The fall semester starts tomorrow and I need to find a job. I would rather prefer a campus job but the requirements of all the jobs are much of the levels of the real world. You need to be accurate, fast, and smart. But I'm scared I might not do well. This fear of losing my job again creeps up in my body and I just feel like crying caues I can't believe in myself again. 

Work, believe it or not, is a devastation for me. 

I don't think any of the kids on here would understand, but this is what I'm feeling right now.

I'm still in high school so I cant really relate but I have a friend who has a job and because of that job she's not able to participate in class and club activities. What I'm trying to say is having a job is good but it does keep you from certain things. You should relax for two weeks and then try to find a job you like, if not a job you like find a place with good staff. The idea of being fired is scary but its a part of life and it cant be avoided and sometimes its for the best, if your previous job was making you exhausted its a good thing you dont work there anymore. Your health is more important than a job. Wow this turned out longer than I thought it would >.< Anyways good luck with finding a job and school :)

I just started my first year of college last week, and I want to get a job too, I think until you feel, I am not sure how to really word it, but until you kind of grow out of that fear, justgo to school. Get yourself aquanted with your school schedule and go from there. I ____ at advice, but that is what I am hoping to do, that way it will be less stressful and tiring, and you will have more time for school.
