I am at present studying at college, I have the loan and I still have
to work. This course is not easy for me and I find I have very little
spare time.Will my fuses blow or am I worrying to much. Advice needed.
I know how hard it is to keep a job, keep loans down, and go to
school. I found a job which was flexible to my school schedule. Just
take it one day at a time and stay organized, it will help you get
through it! Good luck!

I am in the same situation and sometimes I feel like I am going to go
insane. I try to keep everything in perspective. The way to do that
is take time for yourself everyday. I have found if I take a half an
hour and do something I enjoy every day I am happier and better able
to accomplish all of the tasks that I need to.
Another way that I handle everything is to make lists. I find that if
I can have everything written down I don't have to worry about
forgetting things.
Good luck getting everything done. |

I totally relate with how you manage things.
I am a third year college student and I work 30 hours a week (and I go
to school full time). When I work I ask for longer shifts so that I
can get more hours put away in one day so that I don't have to work as
many days a week. Some days I have class only until noon or one (even
though the 8am wake-ups aren't too fun) and those days I stay at the
school until 5 or so just working on homework. If I get everything I
need to get done for the week, I go out once a week on the town and
let it all go away for a few hours. All you have to do is balance life
and work and fun and things will be fine. If I can do 30 hours a week
and still go out once a week and see my friends often, anyone can do
it.
one word: Balance

it is very difficult balancing work and college i am a mature student
at college full time i work 40 hours a week in a dead end job and i
have 3 kids,it is hard going but if i want the best for my kids then i
must carry on doing it, i have my down days and days when i dont want
to do it but my kids are my anchor they keep me going, i will finish
the course and hopefully go on to do my degree,in the end it will be
worth it and my kids will have a better future ..... |
