How should a student in college approach juggling school, work, and social responsibilities What would be some good stress-relieving strategies to cope with all of these demands? #Spring25

For context, I am a 19-year-old rising sophomore at Kennesaw State University in Georgia. I'm currently trying to juggle classes and will have to work this upcoming semester to pay for my classes, so I would love any advice on how to deal with this.

Hi Shaniah -
Great job on taking steps to support your college journey! First, think about how many classes and hours you can manage each semester. Then, figure out how many hours you can realistically work each week. Make sure your work schedule fits well with your class schedule. Decide if you'll work just a few days a week, and whether you'll work in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings. If you can, try to have classes on your days off from work so you can focus better and take good notes. Highlight important parts of your notes to review later. Going over your notes every day is a helpful habit.

Set aside time for classes, studying, projects, and meeting with teachers from Monday to Friday. If you find some subjects tough, talk to your teachers or go to Teacher Assistant hours for extra help. Also, try to include some exercise in your weekly routine. On weekends, enjoy time with friends but also spend a few hours on studying or working on projects.

Hi Shaniah -
Congratulations on working to fund your college education. Assess the number of classes and hours you can handle each semester. Then, realistically determine the hours you can work weekly. Consider how your work schedule will affect your class schedule. For instance, will you work a limited number of days per week? Will you work mornings, afternoons, or evenings? If possible, schedule classes on your days off from work for better focus and thorough note-taking. Highlight crucial sections for review during study sessions. Additionally, daily note review is a beneficial habit to adopt.

Consistently allocate time for classes, study sessions, projects, and teacher hours from Monday to Friday. For challenging subjects, meet with teachers or attend Teacher Assistant hours for further guidance. Incorporate exercise into your weekly routine. On weekends, balance leisure time with friends and a few hours of study or project work.
