Oh, the joys of being on campus
Never have I more appreciated the idea of having a school on the U of I campus than when I started to attend Uni High.
Not only can students go out and enjoy all the perks around campus (restaurants, hangouts, stores, and the Union), but once they get to the age of 15 or above, they can find work on this busy campus without too much of a sweat.
This year, I am looking for a summer job to save money for the future French trip, and I am considering all the different options I have. I like computers, people, writing, and reading. My applications for the Champaign Park District were filled out, but I kept looking for more options. Hey computers! Immediately, my mind swept towards Siebel across from Uni.
So today during my free period, I wandered out of the building and went right across the street. I found the business office after a couple of tries and inquired to the person there about summer jobs available for high school teens. Unfortunately for me, the lady wasn’t available, but I’m going to be seeing her on Thursday during free period again. Also, I’m going to be asking around other various places on campus for job options.
Being on campus doesn’t just mean all fun and food. Finding jobs in places close to school definitely adds to the attraction.
