How does one attain a healthy work/school/relationship balance?
As a returning college student I find in extremely difficult to maintain relationships with friends and family while going to college and working full time. I feel like I have to make sacrifices. For example, I have to constantly deny family time due to work or school. My family tells me that they understand but I still feel a sense of guilt. Missing work isn't an option because I have to support myself and pay for school. I'm starting to feel burnt out and I'm starting to believe that there is no balance. I would be grateful for any advise or tips!

What's YOUR best way to stay motivated and consistent in college, or just in general
I'm not gonna lie- being in college has been EXHAUSTING to say the least. I feel like I've done enough to to earn myself a doctorate, and it's only my second year! Espically with being a film student, the late nights shooting with early morning classes can be alot for me- not to mention my job, applying for scholarships, working out, and maintaining a social life, to name a few. To any creatives, or anyone's who got their life down to a science- how did you do it? And what could I do to find at least a little bit of stablity in this seemingly always unstable environment?

ViennaWhat jobs should I look into based on my interests?
Hi all. I've thought I wanted to be a dermatologist for a while now but I'm having doubts in my capability to do so. I am very passionate for Motorsports like formula one, and would totally work in that realm if I had the chance. I would also totally work corporate. I am in high school still but I'm super stressed over what I'm to do with my life and have no idea what to major in. The only thing is I'd prefer to have a very comfortable salary, but find it difficult to find job ideas. I also find myself very drawn to creative or artsy jobs, but hate the pay. Any help or career options?? I will take all the advice I can get... seriously.

ShawneeHow do you decide on your major Do you have any advice to quell the worries on someone still unsure of their passion and stressing about the uncertainty of the future??
This year, I was supposed to be a junior in high school, However, I followed a pathway that allowed me to combine my junior and senior year courses into one year, and I plan to graduate a year early. On one hand, this was an accomplishment I am proud of. However, recently I have been stressing myself out about going into college at a younger age with an undecided major. For my mental and social well-being, I feel like college is a good plan for me to develop the stability and productivity of continuing my education, not to mention that I genuinely want to continue. Nevertheless, it still becomes taxing wondering whether attending university will be resourceful or regretful in the long run. I can't help but have doubts going into a university that will be financially demanding whilst still debating what major I will choose. Any advice?
