Balancing Work and School without a car

I already knew that I would have a job my freshman year of college, I also knew that I wouldn't have car my freshman year, but I didn't realize how freakishly cold it would be to walk 2.5 miles to work in the pouring rain at 7:00am. Yesterday, I woke up and speed walked to work because I was already a little behind the schedule. Needless to say, I am really starting to regret my decision to not bring a car to college. But aside from the decision I made, it's a really great feeling to have money and not have to spend it all on gas, I actually get to buy things that I want.
