Unique University Life

    我的大学，我做主

    Part-Time Jobs: Distraction or Deliverance?

    兼职，我的大学我买单

    Vincent(英国)

    早在上大学之前我就渴望能够独立，不仅仅是像其他人叫嚣的那种精神思想上的独立，我更渴望经济上的独立，因为我深知，经济独立是一切的基石，而且我也不想再向父母伸手要钱，所以，我的大学我自己买单。

    University is a great experience that millions of students look forward to every year. For me it also marked my first encounter with the world of work. Throughout high school my parents footed the bill, so I never really worried about saving money, balancing my checkbook or overextending my credit card. If I got in a pinch, I always had a back up plan - calling home. While I was at university, though, I wanted to be independent. I didn't want to have to rely on my folks for cash, but all the expense incurred by the cost of text books, eating out, socializing and just generally staying alive began to mount up, and by the middle of my first semester I decided to get a part-time job, working in a coffee shop.

    大学是数百万学生年年期盼的绝佳体验 ......
