Hi, Julia.
It certainly doesn’t have to be. Prioritize what is important. Know that some days you will have to say “no” to peers and buckle down to study, BUT that doesn’t mean you will have to say “no” all the time. So it could be no big deal. There WILL be times you can celebrate your academic successes. What worked best for me was becoming friends with people who had the same mindset.
I’m sure you will have great college memories and success stories you’re proud of!

During most of my college career I took 16 credits at once and worked multiple jobs. While it was challenging to still maintain a social life, it wasn't impossible. Prioritization and planning were key. If I planned out my week ahead of time I could balance everything effectively.
