The great Dilemma

Okay guys , why is it that life is never simple?  Why do be always want what we can't have?
I started my university experience with the attitude that I could live off of my loans and grants etc. However After scrapping by last term I decided that maybe that was not such a great way to continue this term, and a small part time job to keep my head above the water would be a good idea for me. So I searched and searched, and I found a vacancy, applied, got an interview and immediately got offered the job.Which is great right? well thats what I thought. It would mean I would be able to afford a small holiday this summer and keep me fed. However also means that I would not be able to pop home when ever I feel like a weekend back.
This causes a dilemma, as I don't get to see my friends, boyfriend or family unless they travel to see me. And even if they do manage to do this, I still have to work all day sat and most of Sunday also, so I would not really be able to see them much anyway.
So Ive thought about quiting, but in reality why would I do that? I mean I like my job, I like the people I work with and lets face it the money comes in handy.
The life us students lead is not all peachy as non-students would have you believe, we have barely enough maintenance grant&loans to cover the rent, we have to pay silly amounts to do the laundry and equipment for our courses does not come cheap. So I need this job, yet I am also a home girl who loves my trips home. It is in fact one huge dilemma.
Despite all this bitching about money and how hard it is to be a student, I would not swap it for the life I used to lead of working 9-5 everyday.
In a nutshell being a student , is the best career choice I could ever make.
