But if not then I may have to try the waitressing thingy...dont want to but its an option. still debating all sides of the issue

Sounds like a good plan. I don't know what your interests are, but something I always suggest to college students, even if you are not 100% interested in working in human services is to get a job in a residence/residential program while in college. These jobs offer benefits and also, great schedules (they will work around your school for the most part) and you can work evenings/weekends. After you have done your paperwork and seen your clients, there is A LOT of downtime. This is the major way I got a lot of my papers done in grad school. I used to work the 4:30-12:30 AM shift so basically from 9:30-12:30 I could do school work. I also did a double on Sat. and since the agency said "try not to see clients on weekends unless it is an emergency since it is their day off" I had from like 8AM to 8PM to get school work done. Depending on the population and your location, the payscale could be quite low but you know at least you are guaranteed a paycheck, and you always know what it is going to be, so you can budget accordingly. The benefits is another great thing as well. Good luck Moonstar and everyone else looking for work! I know firsthand the economy, it sucks out there right now!!!!!
