I was where you're at 5 years ago. And sure, it sucked and it was alot of work. But, the thing that sticks in my mind is the people. I really miss my fellow "brothers and sisters in arms." I completely fell out of touch with pretty much everybody i knew in those days. My question is, how do you plan on keeping in touch with the special people in your life right now? Because, you'll miss them.

To be really honest I lost a lot of friends after high school, none of them even made an effort with me. Which was really hard when you realize you were only friends because you spent five days a week with them in a class. And ever since then I haven't really made new friends (It's so hard) so I've been living a pretty lonely life lately. What friends I do make in the future, I hope we keep in touch and it doesn't end up like when I finished high school.
I bet you've made friends you don't even realize are your friends. People like co-workers, and other students in your classes that you see everyday, and share laughs and hardships with each day.
I've had guy threaten to throw me over the shelf because an item was no longer on sale, had a feeling though he was under the influence of something. My manger ended up dealing with him, but so far that's the worst I've had. Of course you get the customers with an attitude, but that becomes somewhat normal after a while... :/
I'm currently working fifteen hours a week with saturday and sunday off which is normally my time to get all my uni work done. But during the week going straight from class to work can be pretty tiring, especially when I've got the same the next day.
Haha, not too sure. Never pay attention to the sales.. :/ I'm sure they'll have a special on something though, it all depends on your local Woolies.

Yes, haha it's seems to be pretty normal for students though; broke and just getting by. With homework and work it can take a pretty big toll sometimes, sleep is rare but amazing when I get it!

Working retail can be tough, especially when it comes to dealing with people. Any good, "that customer was nuts" stories?

Do you have a loan?
[–] ktl97 [S] 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Yes, In Australia we pay back our uni loans when we earn over a threshold. It's known as HECS.

How do you personally manage your time? Being a student is busy enough on top of having a job.
Any Woolies specials this week? :-p
