Dealing with two jobs, school, interning and having a life can be hard. One of things that sparked this post was the car accident I got in while in a school rental car. Not something I needed. But I read through my book and have kept focused! Are you coming out to Podcamp? Maybe I will get to meet you personally! @amanda - great advice! that is totally what I am working towards. Soon enough I will be there! Thanks both of you for your replies!

My advice for beating stress is to love what you do. It's cheesy but true; if you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life. Before I joined CNW I had fewer responsibilities yet I was always stressed out, probably because I wasn't happy. Working a long day only to come home and work a little more is easier to swallow when you love what you're working on, where you're working and who you're working with. Good luck! akl. This is a great post, Kathryn.

I dunno if you will be able to for your OSAP, but definitely for your line of credit. I have that right now for my line of credit and although it isn't much ($50/month) it will add up and be a lot better than nothing. Take care hope your placement or agency work is going well.

And just a heads up, I hope you don't ever feel alone in this whole 'growing up' thing. It's actually sort of funny when I think about being a teenager and wanting so much to be a grown up. Now I'd give anything to be a teenager again (well, only some days). But one thing I would add to your list is to make time to have fun!! I've had a rough go the past few months and finnnally went out with a few friends last week and couldn't believe how refreshing it was to let loose and forget about the stress and the work and the bills and the school. Take care! -K Hi Katie,

Everyone has a past, and to me any smart employer would realize that. Speaking about this topic with other people, many have said that they refuse to erase pieces of their past off of the internet or to sensor their current material (facebook page, blog, etc), because why would they want an employer who would judge them based on this? I agree with this to an extent... I think that people are allowed to have a life outside of work, and if an employer finds a picture of me with beer in hand all that should say is that I do have a life outside of the workplace. That being said, I can understand why an employer would judge if they find pictures of someone ridiculously intoxicated and passed out on a bench downtown floating around the internet... They probably don't want THAT representing their company. I also have a hard time thinking that somebody would judge me for something I posted on the internet when I was 16 or 17.
