Stick with me: I'm 18 years old-obviously a freshman in college-and I've only had one job...it lasted two months. I'm a person who gets easily stressed out over nothing, and I need at least one day a week to sleep in or just relax. I understand that soon I will never have days off, but for now, I need to go slow with this. Well, I got an interview at an Office Depot and I went to it yesterday. When I told them that I may have to decrease my weekday hours because I didn't realize how much homework I was going to get in school, the manager laughed and said, "Well then say goodbye to your social life on the weekends!" I immediately felt horrible, went home and talked to my mom about it, and she told me to call and turn down the job. My mom knows that I simply can't handle a job right now and says I will just have to get summer jobs. I feel horrible about the kind of person I am and that it was stupid to turn down a job like that. Was that a dumb choice?
