Frustrated with employer

I don't know if anyone can help, or I'm just needing to vent my anger and frustration.
But I had around a 15 minute meeting with my manager yesterday 28/08 to go through shift changes and college ect..
At first I thought the meeting had gone well and that 'they' listened and came across supportive by saying that they will adapt to my needs by only working three days whilst I'm studying then it can increase when it's term time holidays.
I have just looked at my rota for the next 3 weeks and I have been put on nights and also working when I'm unavailable to work.

I just feel extremely frustrated as I have gone above and beyond at my place of work but this just feels like a right kick in teeth.
I really enjoy my work at the place I'm at but after the weeks I've had by keeping them updated as much as I can I'm repaid in this way

Well have you spoken to them in order to clarify why they've done this? It could've been a mistake and they may be happy to rectify it

Mistakes happen - just phone and be polite.

As HoldThisL says: clarify why they have given you night shifts and scheduled you on days you can't work. Maybe it is a clerical error, which I hope they would be happy to rectify. However, I would strongly consider getting the entire exchange in writing and not just a a quick verbal-only meeting. This way, if this happened because of some miscommunication or misunderstanding, your request is clearly outlined in writing and you are able to follow this up while referencing any replies they may send as well.

I have sent my manager a direct email so that it is in black and white.
Thank you all for replying back.
