Should I quit after only working 2 shifts?

I recently just started another job last week and I’m just not really feeling it. I’m a full time college student, working for an engineering firm and a non-profit that I’m very passionate in. Needless to say, I enjoy being a busy person and took on a third job at my church because it was only supposed to be a less than 10 hours a week thing. Now that I’ve started and a “august- October” schedule has been released, this third job has got me working like 3-4 days a week for the next two months?? It’s totally discouraged me from the whole job because I was led to believe I would be working way less hours than this. Just in this first week I’ve realized how much of my social life i’m missing out on now that my weekends will never be free, as well as several extracurriculars and…


I recently just started another job last week and I’m just not really feeling it. I’m a full time college student, working for an engineering firm and a non-profit that I’m very passionate in. Needless to say, I enjoy being a busy person and took on a third job at my church because it was only supposed to be a less than 10 hours a week thing.

Now that I’ve started and a “august- October” schedule has been released, this third job has got me working like 3-4 days a week for the next two months?? It’s totally discouraged me from the whole job because I was led to believe I would be working way less hours than this.

Just in this first week I’ve realized how much of my social life i’m missing out on now that my weekends will never be free, as well as several extracurriculars and organizations that I’m apart of that I will have to miss clubs meetings over due to this third job.

I definitely don’t need the money or any good recommendations from this job. I want to quit so bad. But I’m terrified because I have an irrational fear of letting people down and confrontation (sorry trauma from strict parents who required over-achievement and no boundaries in exchange for love and support).

I don’t want to give a two weeks notice because I know if i do there will be tension until my last day with the other girls (and I’ve only been there less than a week already). I just want to quit when I show up for my next shift but don’t know how. Is this a good idea? Any advice?
