Happy Easter!! I hope everyone has nice plans with their families today! I am visiting with my family and heading off to work for 8 hours. This post is going to be all about how to keep a job when your still in school. I've been going home to work since I was a freshman and it really is a great way to make money when you're home. College students never really get to make a lot of money during college years because of the inability to have a car and without a car comes with the inability to find a job. And there really aren't many jobs around Mercyhurst unless you'd like to work at Arby's, CVS, or the Cornerstone (if you're old enough!). Work study is also a great opportunity to make money as well if you are given the opportunity to have one!
So, if you have a steady part-time/full-time job right now and you will be getting ready to head off to school soon in the Fall, don't quit your job! The best decision is to talk with your boss about staying on as a seasonal employee. I think that we always get at least some good time off when we're home for breaks and it is a great opportunity to get some fast cash to buy your books, groceries for your dorm, or just to save up!  I've never had a lot to do when I go home for breaks, so its a good way of filling in some downtime.

By the way, here is a picture of myself at the Western Pennsylvania Undergraduate Psychology Conference presenting my research! It was a very exciting day and I was thrilled to finally finish everything I've been working on since the beginning of the year. This year it was held at Westminster College and they did a fantastic job at hosting the events. This is a BIG DEAL for Junior Psychology majors, it is best to start preparing the start of Fall Term for this day!
