So I am taking 17 hours this semester in heavy STEM coursework. I am a math major. All the work study jobs are M-F 8-5...but that's when my classes are going on! How am I supposed to find time? My college has very little classes to where all of them take place during 8-5. I have like maybe three hours in between classes on Mon and Wed only...but I need a lunch hour too? lol. Plus let's say I eat quickly and was able to work both of those days that's only 6 hours a week. These work study jobs say 15-19 hours a week. If it says that the minimum is 15 hours right?

ETA: I need to take at least 15 hours for my tuition to be paid for. But of course two of my classes are four hours so that's how I ended up with 17 hours in my semester.

I started at Walmart as a cashier last year. I remember having a great time. I enjoyed the customer interactions, my coworkers and my team leads were all great. Even my coach was pretty cool! We would just have fun and get along. Yes, it was work but it wasn't hard and it wasn't stressful. The AC was always working well and you could feel it. I was motivated to work hard because if I didn't then I would get a little cold. I am a closer so we would have at least 4 people till midnight to close the store.

Now everything is different. The store is very hot to where I feel I cannot breath. I sometimes feel like I'm going to pass out honestly. So I work slower. In the self check outs, every single customer needs help so it's not really efficient anymore because I have to keep correcting the mis-scan thing.

For closing they don't schedule anyone till midnight anymore. The customers at my store don't get in line till 11...sometimes 11:10. This means we're not done checking out customers till around 11:30. Like I said no one is till 12 anymore so if you are 11:30 you are asked to stay to do trash and hangers, gather carts, do returns, zone the front end etc. Of course there are only about 2 people that stay till 12 so only one or two of those things gets done. In the morning the early crew gets upset because we closers haven't done all our tasks. But that's because we don't have anyone till 12 anymore! And even if we did, it's too much that needs to be done in 30 minutes.

Everyone seems on edge, my leads, coach, customers, fellow associates and myself! I feel like I am doing the job of three people instead of just one. We have less people working than we did last year, but more responsibilities. It has made the job so stressful. I just can't believe how quickly things have changed in a year. Anyone else experiencing this?

Hello ya'll! I hope it's okay if I post here...if not then just delete it. Basically my older brother is getting married. He is gaga over his fiance. I tried giving her a chance but she's just not a kind person. She talks badly about all his friends and our family members, she is isolating him from us. She will often say things like "you know your friend so and so is autistic right?" Whenever he visits us, she calls over and over. She's extremely demanding and bossy. She makes him clean up after her dogs and take out her trash. Recently he went to grab her hand and she pulled away and said his hand was gross and sweaty. She likes expensive things, wants an expensive wedding. She wants three trips for their honeymoon alone. My brother is a public school teacher who is working on the weekends to afford all this. His fiance owes a lot in student loans like close to half a million. He doesn't owe anything. I think this is what worries me the most. I just don't think she loves him. Whenever he leans in for a kiss or hug, she pulls away. She goes on girl trips often without him. He wanted a church wedding and kids...now they are not having a church wedding and kids might be out of the question because she doesn't want them. He's basically just doing whatever she wants. I don't understand it.

I guess all this to say...if your little sister saw all these red flags...and she warned you, would you have listened to her? Would there have been anything she could say to help you see all this? I read the posts here sometimes and I worry about him. I see that she treats him with contempt. And they're not even married yet!

My local university has free tuition and I'll be living at home. I'm already registered for basics but I don't know what to major in.

About me...
I like math and science, but not interested in engineering, I would def want a job indoors, I want something that pays decent. I'm open to graduate school in the future or maybe professional school of some kind but I'm not sure...

Any advice appreciated!

Do I watch all the videos on the playlist? I noticed he goes over the college board review question by question but then he has like a two hour video where he goes over questions he thinks will be on the exam. Which one do I focus on more?
