<human>: I have been employed at my first job as a sales associate for a local family business chain for 6 months. Due to increasing stress level, bad working conditions (illegally not giving breaks), poor management, coupled with trying to get from college to work in time every day was leading to me quitting but I wanted to make sure I had a new job first. 

I found out about a work study program at my college and applied for one of the office positions they offer. I was called instantly, went in and filled out W2 forms and what not, and said to bring in some extra paperwork and I would start next week. I gave my work one weeks notice and my last day is tomorrow. However I just went into the office where I got the job and my (soon to be) boss hadn't realized that I have student loans not grants and they only hire people who have grants. He said that he would contact his boss and see if I can be employed with them through a contract which he said is likely but will let me know soon. 

So I am kind of freaking out right now. I can certainly live without a job as I am in college most of every day anyway and have no bills to pay for aside from $50 on my credit card which can be covered by my last check from the old job. I DEFINITELY do not want to ask them to stay because that job was effecting my mental health as well as my college grades and I am better off unemployed. However due to my college schedule that on campus work study job is pretty much the only job I can work while in college. How bad does a gap in employment look if you were attending college. Is that a valid reason? Will future employers just see a large gab of employment on my resume and skip the questions and just throw out my resume? How screwed am I?

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
<bot>: Had a terrible retail job, got a new job at my school, now told I may not have a job, freaking out.
