<p>I just got a job, and it's my senior year. I will be working 10 hours a week (sadly, on Friday nights, FML) at a pretty boring place. I have 3 AP classes and an honors class, and I have ECs, college apps and essays, ACT/SAT I/SAT II tests, and enjoying my senior year to consider. How should I manage my time with this job?</p>
<p>I don’t know, that’s a hard one. I would really like a job tutoring during my senior year, but I haven’t had much luck. I’d say to try to get as much homework as you can done during school and then you should be okay. It’s gonna be hard, but you will be able to handle it. Good Luck!</p>
<p>Good luck to you, but it an be done. Unfortunately, your free time will be zelch. Enjoying senior year will be diffucult, so maybe quit job towards the spring? My mom worked like 45 hours a week senior year with SAT, subject tests, 6 hours homework daily, a few ECs, etc en route to Brown University. She didn’t enjoy senior year, though. Sometimes, they’re aren’t enough hours in the day :(</p>
<p>Best wishes, sorry to sound depressing :)</p>
<p>I’m working like 15 hours a week. Luckily I don’t care about my grades this year.</p>
<p>I worked 24 hours a week with 3 APs and managed to get As in all but 1. Infact, it didn’t even seem that difficult. You don’t really need to do anything special about managing your time. A 10 hour a week job is not very much.</p>
<p>Big dreamer, assume she was in school for 8 hours a day, and assume she worked 12 hour days on Sat and Sun, that would mean she spent about 19 hours a day either in school, doing homework, or working. With atleast 12 hours school+work everyday for several weeks without any break. Keep in mind time has to be delegated to eating, transportation, restroom, etc. That would mean weekdays she would have had something like 3 hours a day for sleep, for extended periods of time. This also assumes no ECs.</p>
<p>Doesn’t sound too likely does it? Infact, if it were true, she would most likely have died. Literally died.</p>

<p>I don’t care if you believe me Qwerty because I’m not getting into a “dreamer-said, qwerty-said” arguement with you. She didn’t sleep much, worked her tail off, and supported her family with the job. Nice try at acting like a smart*** tough guy on the internet, but you are wrong. Stephen Colbert’s words: “I accept your apology.” Seriously, nice try at being the smarter one on CC. Good luck in life if you don’t believe people when they talk about their mothers. Why would I lie about that? Oh yeah, to make mysef seem like my family has the ultimate work ethic. Sure, pathetic, QwertyKey.</p>
<p>The job sucks. How do I go about quitting/reducing hours so early?</p>
<p>Ah working 15 hours per week on weekdays is toooough. I’m taking several AP’s and trying to keep up with my EC (thank goodness I switched from policy debate). Are all AP lit classes insane? I think i’ll run into major trouble when I start to fill out college apps…</p>
<p>Exactly. I don’t want to feel pressured to work when I have APs, ECs, and college apps.</p>
<p>College apps will be done by October. Your ACT, SAT, SAT IIs should be done by November at the latest. They shouldn’t require that much studying anyways. If you can, do some homework at school, ECs, and work to reduce your load. Unfortunately, you signed yourself up for this. </p>
<p>I was able to work around 20 hours a week my senior year, with 1 AP class and 3 honors classes (which are actually college classes without AP designations, but we still get college credit for them. Stupid school.) Run two clubs, basically run two full-length school shows, and had a social life. It really gets easier once you get in to a habit. I am NOT a workaholic and it was definitely tough at times, but once you get out of your senior year, you don’t remember the bad times, trust me.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
