Authorized work as a grad student

I came to the US on F1 student visa as a Grad student. While I was employed by the University I studied at I also signed up through another company to work on campus at Concession stand at sport events. I only worked there for a couple weekends within like 2.5 month before I received my work authorization a few months later. I’m concerned it will cause some problems at the naturalizations interview. I would have to mention it in the application because it’s on my tax transcripts for that year. I have read somewhere that’s unauthorized work is forgiven to spouses of USC.  Have anyone been in similar situation?
