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!

Trigger Warning:

This video may contain language and imagery that may be upsetting, but remain true to his personal experiences. This is what going to UT Tyler is all about to me, an opportunity to learn other people's perspectives. 

         One of my good friends and fellow English Major, Joshua Grijalva, was filmed at the Open Mic night that Chrissy attended! :) I love technology, because even if I missed his performance, I still don't truly miss it. :)

Moving in College- On Campus and Commuters

             So, maybe y'all haven't moved as often as I have (37... going on 38 times), but if you go away to a university- moving is something to expect. I have been lucky enough to meet good roommates in my freshman year living in OHall at The University of Texas at Tyler! We've been living together for two years now, but I'm moving out in the middle of July to save some money- and live with my grandparents...
         

I'm the unicorn, Baylee is next to me, Cass is in front,
and that little devil on the side is our friend Katie.

Now, a college student, living at home. Maybe that will ring some bells for commuters. Yes, a few people in and around Tyler drive here every day they have class!

With my new found commuter status, I'll be able to shed some light on parking,
getting to class on time (when I can't just roll out of bed), and staying involved when
I don't have fun activities right under my nose! 

Where do y'all live?
