Hello,

I'm 19 years old. I have no car and no job. My mom keeps telling me to get a job but i'm taking Anatomy this semester and it's so stressful, because I have my labs, my online work on work different websites, and packets. I believe the best option for me is to just go to school full time, so I can put all my attention to my work. What do you guys think?

What are you taking besides Anatomy that makes you a full time student?

It's really impossible to give you a black/white, yes/no answer to your question.

Are you struggling to meet the demands of your classes? Your class load at first glance doesn't seem overly demanding, but a speech class may take up time due to research, planning, practicing, etc. and quite frankly, math always gave me the Jim-jams, but it might be a snap for you.

Do you live at home? Does your mom see you engaging in what she perceives to be non-productive down time? Or, are you spending a lot of time socializing with friends?

I don't know if you have the kind of relationship where you can sit down and discuss things with your mom. I do know that with the schedule you're carrying, every minute of every day isn't going to be filled. Is part time, even 1-2 days/week feasible?

Many students go to school full time and work as well. Your mother may feel that working wouldn't hurt you. She may be right.
