Spring Break

So spring break is upon us and we are all happy. Most of us are taking some time off to relax and enjoy time without classes. I, however, am working almost every day of spring break. I have scheduled myself for work every day but Easter. This would normally be a hardship, but I am in dire need of money so it is ok with me this week.

Work seems like an archaic term used to describe what people do when they hate their job. Luckily, I have no job that I truly hate. And that’s saying a lot, especially because I have four jobs. I work for ROCK 101 as a street teamer, SNHU Residence life as an RA, SNHU Student Affairs at Copies Plus, and at Monadnock Regional High School as a substitute teacher. I am not too fond of being a substitute teacher, but it is not the worst job in the world. However, I love my other jobs.

I have worked for Copies Plus as an associate for three years now including one summer. It is a fairly easy job. It does not require much creativity or know-how. Most of the skills you need can be learned in a matter of hours. But, the thing I really like about it is that it allows you to be creative and knowledgeable. I have worked there so long that I would have been very tired of it had I not been able to do that.

ROCK 101 has always interested me. I have worked for them for almost a full year now. I started off as an intern and am now on the payroll as a member of the street team. I enjoy working there for two reasons. One, I am constantly updated on a lot of the cool stuff happening around Manchester. Two, I have the chance to be part of a Radio Station that allows me to branch out and do more than just my job description.

My last job is working as an RA. I have been at this for two years now and I have really enjoyed it. I am really glad I got into it when I did because it has opened my eyes to a whole new career path that I had never thought of before. I am now seriously considering going into the student affairs aspect of college.

So basically this is my spring break post. I am currently sitting in my old high school library taking care of a bunch of 11th grade students who are supposed to be working on a project.
