Should I give up my hobbies and start a second job?

I’m currently working at a company recently I started doing an internship with them. I found out today that the two days that I’ll be doing the internship I won’t be paid.

And I need all the money that I can get to paid for my car, tuition, hobbies, and have any spending money. But since I won’t be paid 2 days out of 5 days I won’t be getting the same amount of money that I would be getting if I was working the whole 5 days.

If I get second job I’m would first need to figure out when I could work. One day I have class, another I have art class, 2 days I have a club, and I won’t be able to get out of my first job until 4PM. While also balancing schoolwork.

On top of all that I worry that all this stuff will affect my health and increase my risk of having a seizures. But I need money to buy and pay bills. So, do I give up all of fun stuff to get a second job or do something else?
