One of the slight downsides to doing a lot of extra-curricular activities is that sometimes it can cost a bit of money. Most societies are very student-purse friendly, with a low membership fees and lots of discounts for society members. However,\u00a0it&#8217;s nice to have a bit of extra cash to do these other fun things, and to not be struggling for money. One of the best ways to\u00a0do this is to get a part-time job.<\/p>\n<p>First year maths students have approximately 18 hours contact time a week, and this tends to be spread throughout the week; Monday-Friday, 9am &#8211; 6pm. It means you have plenty of time to spend doing other things. Depending on your timetable, a part-time job with regular hours can sometimes be difficult to fit in.\u00a0There are actually several jobs at the university which are primarily\u00a0aimed at students. The hours are flexible as they understand that you&#8217;re a student and you need to study too! There are opportunities for bar work and retail work within YUSU (University of York Students&#8217; Union) as they have several bars and cafes across campus, and a newsagent type shop next to the supermarket in Market Square.<\/p>\n<p>Another job option is to be a Student Ambassador. Those people you see in the turquoise t-shirts at Open Days- that&#8217;s us! I applied to be an ambassador in my first year and have been working for them ever since. As a Student Ambassador, I work a lot with school-aged children and prospective students (like you!). It requires you to be super enthusiastic about uni, but that&#8217;s not hard from my perspective &#8211; I could talk about uni for hours! The job is great, as you choose which shifts you are available to do and then the work is allocated fairly between\u00a0all the ambassadors. It means you can be flexible with your money earning. For example, my timetable in second year had fewer contact hours (12 a week) but my lectures\u00a0always clashed with shifts, so I worked a lot during the holidays.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1347\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1347\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/04\/10394490_10152697774316820_6087565753494321048_n.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1347\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1347\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/04\/10394490_10152697774316820_6087565753494321048_n.jpg?resize=300%2C225\" alt=\"Working (well, eating) at the Easter residential last year\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/04\/10394490_10152697774316820_6087565753494321048_n.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/04\/10394490_10152697774316820_6087565753494321048_n.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/04\/10394490_10152697774316820_6087565753494321048_n.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1347\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Working (well, eating) at the Easter residential last year<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There is\u00a0also the\u00a0option to work on residentials through the Student Ambassador scheme. These require an additional application and interview, but they&#8217;re worth doing as they&#8217;re really fun and are paid well! Run by the Widening Participation team, these residentials give younger students an insight into what university life is like. The children come and stay at the university for three days, and we run academic and student life sessions. It gives them a taste of what uni might be like, and encourages them to consider Higher Education. It doesn&#8217;t have to be at York, but the aim is to inspire people to achieve their potential, and I think that&#8217;s a great thing. I worked on a residential this Easter, as a Senior Residential Assistant. This meant that I wasn&#8217;t directly responsible for the children on the residential &#8211; I was responsible for the other Residential Assistants. We had a great team of student ambassadors working on the residential and we got to know each other really well; we&#8217;re currently\u00a0planning\u00a0a wine, cheese and Mulan evening next term. Because who doesn&#8217;t love those three things?! It&#8217;s so nice to mix with a completely different set of people who you might not have met otherwise! There are also residentials which run in the summer after the university year is over.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1346\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1346\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/04\/12042978_735252049952816_3474103996985970472_n.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1346\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1346 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/04\/12042978_735252049952816_3474103996985970472_n.jpg?resize=300%2C200\" alt=\"12042978_735252049952816_3474103996985970472_n\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/04\/12042978_735252049952816_3474103996985970472_n.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/04\/12042978_735252049952816_3474103996985970472_n.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/04\/12042978_735252049952816_3474103996985970472_n.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1346\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sharing the headscarf love during a residential last summer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>You can also be an ambassador for your department, and I do that too.

This one is a music course for 3-18 year olds\u00a0that I used to take part in during my time at school.

The past couple of years I&#8217;ve\u00a0been invited\u00a0back to help out during the course. I arrive early and help to set up the residential, putting together information packs, that sort of thing. During the course itself I help out by playing in the orchestras, run an art room for the younger kids, and am generally a helpful face.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1349\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1349\" style=\"width: 169px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/04\/11149384_10204351135805792_7585053797240608321_n.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1349\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1349 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/04\/11149384_10204351135805792_7585053797240608321_n.jpg?resize=169%2C300\" alt=\"11149384_10204351135805792_7585053797240608321_n\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/04\/11149384_10204351135805792_7585053797240608321_n.jpg?resize=169%2C300&amp;ssl=1 169w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/04\/11149384_10204351135805792_7585053797240608321_n.jpg?w=540&amp;ssl=1 540w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 169px) 100vw, 169px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1349\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Art room fun at the music residential; making props for the parent orchestra to wear.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This summer I&#8217;m doing some more volunteering, this time with an international organisation called CISV.\u00a0The organisation was set up after the Second World War as a peace\u00a0initiative.
