The Reality of the "Double Life" and Surviving the Academic Hustle

Hiii!!! Meet Jonathan Molay, a Tourism Student and a hardworking student assistant at STI College Ormoc. Jonathan wokes up around 5 in the morning to prepare and to work at the same time during his vacant time. Jonathan is willing to learn different destinations, cultures, and languages. He is a very hardworking person; he always prioritizes his studies and work at the registrar's office at the same time during his vacant hours.

Through this blog, he will share some challenges and obstacles a working student would face. He will also share some advice that will help every student to maintain good grades while working.

The day for me would start waking up at 5 in the morning, and around 7am I will be on my way to school. During my vacant time, I go to the registrar's office to work. I usually arrange all the files alphabetically, and sometimes if there are no chores, I study at my table, preparing for the upcoming exams and quizzes. Time management is what I really focus on; as long as you manage your time, you can multitask and can get good grades.

Even if there may be obstacles, I always tell myself to persevere and look forward to my family's and my own futures. Financial difficulties are a major obstacle, but I firmly believe in the proverb "God will Provide." He is the provider, and I have faith in him, and I always will.

Even when I'm already worn out from job and school, I manage to study and read at least one handout in the evening. I go to bed early in order to clear my head and prepare for the upcoming day.
