You know... most of the material on studyblr is aimed towards people who don't have jobs. Those who don't have class during the day and then work until midnight. Those who don't have an 8 hour shift on Saturday and Sunday so they can't devote the entire day to getting ahead for the upcoming week. A lot of people have to work in order to get themselves through school, and that's the situation I'm in as well. My goal by the end or even middle of this semester is to be able to make my own post regarding balancing a heavy load from both school and a job, while maintaining a social life and being involved in clubs/ organizations. In the meantime, can anyone who relates please reply/ reblog with advice? Even if you don't relate, just reblogging can help spread the post and reach it to more people (: And if you know of posts about this specific topic can you please link them!! Thank you so much.. Let's keep this a fluid and growing thread!
My first advice that I learned this past semester:
Don't take more shifts if you can't handle it! Request to have less shifts for a week and don't cover for someone if they ask. It's okay to say no when someone asks you to cover their shift! Yes you may need the money but if you can afford it, prioritize your schooling and don't waste the time you received by denying a shift. Remember that you could be working and making money, but you're not, so make good use of that time and get some homework done.
