First, you should be proud of yourself for all of the hard work you are putting in to build a bright future for yourself! I would say it's all about time management. Try to sit down, maybe even each day or each week as necessary, to look at your schedule and what you need to do. After accounting for time that you are in classes and at work, block out any needed remaining chunks of time for studying, and prioritize exactly what you need to work on (do you have a paper due, upcoming test to study for etc.). By making yourself a schedule, it will help you keep on track with things, and make most use of your available time. Build some time in for yourself to relax and have a little fun too - so you don't burn out! Good luck - you can do it!

Great job on your dedication and effort! When you reflect on this period in the future, these experiences will have played a significant role in shaping you.
Being proactive and planning ahead is always beneficial. Try to map out your schedule for the upcoming days in advance. This can help you steer clear of unexpected hurdles. If a conflict arises, a pre-planned schedule can guide you in making the right decision. Here's to your success!

Hi Katrina! Firstly, applaud yourself for your commitment to your academic success and financial independence. Balancing a rigorous courseload along with a job is no easy feat. Like the other comments mentioned, time management is key. I understand it may feel impossible to squeeze everything into one short day, but if you pre-plan your schedule and prioritize the order of importance in which you should be completing tasks, it will make a bunch of daunting tasks seem a lot more manageable. I personally used the Notion App to take notes and list out all my assignments and its due dates!
I would also say - don't be afraid to lean on the help of others! Having a close network of people who you make your dreams, goals, and even obstacles known to will help tremendously - you are not alone in this process and sometimes even knowing there are people you can lean on through stressful times makes the times feel a lot less stressful :)
Finally, listen to your intuition and your body. As much as I wish we were superhumans, burn out is very real. Take care of your health, both physical and mental!
