college job?

hi, i’m working at my college and i start classes on monday the 20th. i’ve looked at the work schedule and many of the students are working like 30 something hour weeks and i don’t know how this is possible, some even fourty. i thought students couldn’t work that many hours on campus… then, my boss changed my schedule without me knowing for the next ttuesday (not tomorrow but the next) i’m working right after class (2 until 8)… and i could work the first shift until 3:30, but not the entire night. i told her straight up i could work 10 hours and i just want to get settled in before i work more and she gave me about 16 (which isn’t much more).. but still. idk, i hope everything goes smoothly. should i just approach her and tell her that i can’t work that night? i mean, is it my bad that she changed the schedule without telling me.. she told me when i was working that week then handed out a new one today.

by the way i’m taking 16 credit hours.

I am a manager at a department store, and unfortunately, I have to make last minute schedule changes all the time. HOWEVER, I am also never, ever, ever opposed to one of my people requesting days off or telling me they can’t work what I scheduled them. We all make mistakes, even those of us who make schedules. If I were your boss, I really don’t think it would be a problem to just say “hey, I’m busy, I can’t do it.” (Well, maybe a little nicer than that, haha).

If you are really worried, or if she isn’t anything like me, then maybe you could line up someone else to work those hours for you, just incase. That way not only are you getting more time for yourself, but covering your hours as well.
