Perks of an MMDC Working Student

A lot of college students nowadays have found the need to hold down part-time, or even full-time jobs while studying. This can put a massive amount of stress on a person. Imagine waking up at 5:00 AM or earlier on weekdays, getting ready, preparing breakfast, preparing baon, and getting out the door by 6:00 AM to avoid the morning rush hour lines at bus stops and MRT or LRT. Once in the office, it’s breakfast time, then work continuously for ten hours. After all of this, it’s time to brave the rush hour commute home. Once home, it’s all about classes and finishing the day's assignments and classwork. Then it’s time to collapse unceremoniously on the bed and fall into a deep sleep–only to be woken up at 5:00 AM and do it all over again.
