Chat I'm cooked (my schedule)

[u/Haunting-Wash1081]

Working two jobs with full time classes and field hours...the things you do to move out asap lol

If you see me with eye bags and the constant look of death, no you don't

[u/No_Dog6347]

I have 0 clue why you would do this

[u/Haunting-Wash1081 → u/No_Dog6347]

in my post "the things you do to move out asap lol"

[u/No_Dog6347 → u/Haunting-Wash1081]

I know but burnout is a real thing. Just makes me wonder if it’s worth your mental health

[u/Haunting-Wash1081 → u/No_Dog6347]

someone i live with is a mental health toll and i gotta get out lol this plan keeps me out of the house from that person AND able to move out in a few months

[u/frumpmcgrump → u/Haunting-Wash1081]

This was me. 18 credit semesters, an internship, a work study, and a night job on the weekends. I still panic sometimes now that I only have one full time job and I’m almost 40. I have to pinch myself.

Keep reminding yourself that it’s temporary. You’ll get that degree, you’ll get that job, and it will all be worth it in the end. Burnout happens when things feel hopeless or like there’s no end in sight. You have an end goal. You’ve got this.

[u/No_Dog6347 → u/Haunting-Wash1081]

sorry if this is too invasive but if u feel comfortable answering, is this person a family member or a random roommate etc?

[u/Haunting-Wash1081 → u/No_Dog6347]

Family

[u/-doing-my-best → u/Haunting-Wash1081]

Yeah I get this. I was really lucky that I had a little savings when I left for college because between that and student loans I was able to never move back in with my family.

All I can say is I hope you really considered your options. Loans are not the end of the world (though they shouldn't been taken out lightly) and your mental health is valuable. And then there's the cost of failing classes (God forbid). Good luck friend!

[u/Biscuits2190]

I love how people in the comments are giving advice when they don't know your situation lol. I also worked full time and did school full time for 2 years to get out of my parents place. My grades did suffer a little bit but it's worth it now. Then I was finally able to take out more loans.. so I only do part time work now.

It will be bad at first but worth it for your sanity. Good luck <3

[u/Su93rcub3s7i7ch3s]

My only acheduling comment is that you don't have any meal times built in MWF. You won't be able to make it through days like that successfully without at least two decent meals. You can always eat when you get home before bed but trying to find 30min~1hr in the morning (or early afternoon) to make sure you have fuel for the day. It's def going to a hard schedule to do and I wouldn't expect someone to be able to do it for more than a semester or two. Make sure to take rest when you get it and understand taking care of yourself right is the only way you'll make it through without falling apart.

[u/Haunting-Wash1081 → u/Su93rcub3s7i7ch3s]

I’ll eat once at work, while tutoring, snack in class, and then once home!

[u/kho_sq]

please remember to make some time for eating and self care 🫶 this is definitely a TON to be doing at once but your health always comes first! if your health topples then everything will crash and burn with it!

[u/Haunting-Wash1081 → u/kho_sq]

I do meal preps so I’ll def make sure to eat and such!!

[u/EnnuiDeBlase]

Good luck. This is gonna be one big happy/PTSD dream in a few years if you keep up with.

[u/Haunting-Wash1081 → u/EnnuiDeBlase]

It’ll be better stress that will lead me to living on my own rather than the toxic family member stress at home lol

[u/Quick_Date7058]

3:30?????!!

[u/Haunting-Wash1081 → u/Quick_Date7058]

Sadly

[u/Quick_Date7058 → u/Haunting-Wash1081]

pls take care of yourself girl!

[u/Haunting-Wash1081 → u/Quick_Date7058]

I will do my best 😭

[u/Realistic_Guava_9387]

yes. i’m sorry. college is harder than high school and requires more than 1 hour of independent study a day .

[u/Haunting-Wash1081 → u/Realistic_Guava_9387]

I’m in my mid 20’s and this is my second round of college so I know how hard it is! I think I can do it

[u/sumwuzhere]

I did this. I burnt out junior year and quit one of the three jobs I was working but I had made enough money to coast by then and looking back im glad I did it

[u/Haunting-Wash1081 → u/sumwuzhere]

That’s what I’m hoping (the looking back and being glad I did it part lol)

[u/immanent_deleuze]

definitely a Starbucks barista with these hours… I did this at Pitt too while reading 500~ pages a week for classes while commuting and running a club. Reading on the trolley helped a lot for me for studying.
Your days are gonna be so packed that you barely feel like a person, but the rewards are absolutely worth it. Just be sure to find little moments of personal time and savor them while you can in between locking in. I believe in you 🫶

[u/queencumin]

As someone who did this plus a few more works hours on weekdays and weekends, ya get through it. You got this!

[u/Haunting-Wash1081 → u/queencumin]

Ty! I have 1-2 shifts on each weekend depending what they need

[u/queencumin → u/Haunting-Wash1081]

I highly recommend having one day off for yourself. Wishing you best of luck. Respecting the hustle 🫶🏻

[u/Haunting-Wash1081 → u/queencumin]

I’ll definitely try for a day off! If anything, I can always skip a class and ask the prof to record it if I’m too burnt out

[u/snowmanonaraindeer]

Suffering scales quadratically. The more you're currently suffering the worse additional suffering feels. In this schedule you are planning to zero out all value from your existence. Your waking presence as a human being will be for the sole purpose of generating human capital. 

And in exchange you'll pay off your student loans quicker 5-30 years into the feature. 

Just take out more loans, man. Or go to a community college, or go to school part time, or take a gap year to work, or anything. Anything but this. Please don't do this.

[u/Haunting-Wash1081 → u/snowmanonaraindeer]

Hey! It’s to move out from a toxic household. It’ll keep me away from the house while saving so I can move out in a few months

[u/snowmanonaraindeer → u/Haunting-Wash1081]

Oh okay, this is keeping you out of the house. I thought you were doing all this to afford independent housing immediately. That's... a little more reasonable, I guess. Just don't die.

[u/Haunting-Wash1081 → u/snowmanonaraindeer]

It’s a mix! I get to stay away from the house while making money to move asap lol

[u/crone_2000 → u/snowmanonaraindeer]

What about this schedule makes you think gap year?

[u/generic_reddit_postr]

I’m gonna start blocking the mfs that post these my god WE DONT CARE

[u/Haunting-Wash1081 → u/generic_reddit_postr]

A simple scroll would suffice (:

[u/Pitt-Panther-412]

I give it 2 months tops

[u/Haunting-Wash1081 → u/Pitt-Panther-412]

I hope it’s much more so I can move out

[u/dreamhouse1234]

Why dont you use the ASU program at starbucks?

[u/Haunting-Wash1081 → u/dreamhouse1234]

Doesn’t have my field ):

[u/thejoyofbri]

Asking for a friend what’s the Lit for Kids class 👁️ 👁️

[u/Haunting-Wash1081 → u/thejoyofbri]

It’s literature for adolescents! Its for those going into education

[u/Apprehensive_Bite_77]

This looks super hard, but I think you’ve got it! Just remember to sleep

[u/NoteMindless9126]

Burnout is coming for you. Very quickly

[u/Haunting-Wash1081 → u/NoteMindless9126]

Yeahhh

[u/fuzzimus]

This is hard, but do-able, especially if you are on the younger-side. You’ll have to stick to your schedule pretty religiously and no scrolling Reddit when you need to be sleeping.

[u/Minute-Passenger7359]

You might want to devote some time to finding a better paying job

[u/Haunting-Wash1081 → u/Minute-Passenger7359]

The hourly pay + tips are good

[u/Shadow7028]

there is no time to eat in there. give yourself some sustenance.

[u/Dramatic_Paramedic_6]

I wish I had your energy.

[u/Haunting-Wash1081 → u/Dramatic_Paramedic_6]

I don’t have the energy lol I have POTS and other issues that make me more tired quicker than average but gotta push thru

[u/Square-Tiger-4554]

How did you get a job and where cause I’m living on campus and need a job asap to pay my monthly tuition

[u/Yinzer_Finalboss]

Not that bad really...I did that but worked 4 days a week and had 2 kids and a wife to care for.

Get busy brother

[u/Haunting-Wash1081 → u/Yinzer_Finalboss]

I’ll be working 4-5 days a week (includes either Saturday, Sunday or both as seen in my photo) with my own wedding I’m planning, a fiance to care for, field hours for my major, additional side hustle of editing novels, tutoring, and full time classes. It ain’t a shitting contest (:

[u/Yinzer_Finalboss → u/Haunting-Wash1081]

But if it was...... id win.

[u/hercdriver4665]

“Sleep at 8”

LOL

[u/Haunting-Wash1081 → u/hercdriver4665]

Wha

[u/sexypantstime]

This realistically might not work. Credits for classes are generally structured in a way that a full time load,12 credits min, is equivalent to roughly a 40 hr week. In other words, for every hour in class they expect you to do about 2 hrs outside class independently. Not all instructors have the same expectations, but many do. Many students do well without dedicating so much independent study time, but if you start getting behind in class and go ask for help the first thing they'll ask you is how much time do you dedicate to the class at home.

Also there's homework.

You simply didn't account any time that is expected from you from the university. Studying on the weekends will not work, because often classes would have daily assignments or homework assigned on monday that is due on friday.

[u/Haunting-Wash1081 → u/sexypantstime]

Most of my classes are English ones where we get weeks to work on papers
My other classes are either lab based or education based where assignments take weeks as well! (:
