I’m a V.I.P; I’m kind of a big deal

                My orientation leader days may be in the past, but the memories still loom around my psyche. I still remember every laughter and happiness that occurred when I worked orientation. I loved helping students transition to our university. I miss the days where I got to see my fellow orientation leaders and enjoyed the stress free summer days. I may or may not do this again, but I found another opportunity to transfer my knowledge of the university. I got the job as a Very Important Patriot, V.I.P for short.

We Want YOU... to Work at UT Tyler!

Being in college, most of your parents are going to cut you off, or at least give you less money than they used to (as my mother has done). 

I have to beg her for a little $20, but that money disappears quick.

So getting a job was imperative. However, I have a really busy school schedule and no transportation. So I started looking on Patriot Jobs for jobs on campus. 

There are all kinds of awesome jobs to do on campus. I happen to love my job in the communications center, but if I could pick ANY other job, it would be to work in the Visitor Center. 

...and they happen to be hiring right now.

In the Visitor Center you'll get to work with all kinds of people, you'll get the amazing job of giving tours to prospective students, and just getting paid to share your experience and knowledge of your school with people. 

It's a fun job it looks like, and so simple. 

Plus, you'll be working on campus so that means no traffic worries, no worrying about your schedule interfering with studying, and you won't be working nights. On campus jobs are the best just because they cater to you as a student, but still allow you to make a pretty good salary. 

Imagine all the people you'd get to meet working for the Visitor Center? I'd love to do it. But hurry, because applications get sent in pretty quick. 

Check out Patriot Jobs to apply to work for the Visitor Center quickly!

Patriot Preview Day is Saturday

This week at UT Tyler has been crazy! My classes getting more serious and my social life is lacking. I am convinced that midterms were made to show me just how much work I have to do to get a decent grade by the end of the class-- and sadly, my answer leaves quite the to-do list. :(

BUT Saturday is Patriot Preview Day! and I get a break from my studies to meet the new, incoming freshmen! My job will be to give campus tours. I used to work in the Admissions Visitor Center (I gave tours before I got on here as a Student Blogger). As much as I adore my current gig, I am excited to be physically active again like that on Saturday. I love walking around the Harvey Lakes, showing all the new kids my favorite places to study, explaining the hawk signs, and showing them where to print stuff for free.


I suppose in the mean time, I should learn the present subjunctive case in French, or whatever.
