Hi Evelin. You need to make a clear schedule. Plan your week to include time for classes, homework, photography practice, and personal activities. Planning ahead helps you stay on track and enjoy both school and personal life.
Another important tip is to set priorities. You need to decide what is most important or urgent and focus on those tasks first. For example, if a photography assignment has a deadline, finish it before less urgent work. At the same time, make sure to prioritize personal things that matter, like spending time with friends, family, or hobbies.
It's also important to manage your time wisely. You can break big projects into smaller steps and set mini-deadlines for yourself. For photography, this could mean planning your shoot, taking pictures, editing, and writing captions separately instead of doing everything at the last minute.
Photography can be mentally tiring, so, you may need to spend time on hobbies, relaxing, or hanging out with friends. Doing things you enjoy outside of school helps you recharge and stay motivated.
You can also ask for help. If you feel stressed or behind on work, you can talk to your professors, classmates, or family. Asking for advice or support can make things easier and help you manage your time better. All the best.

Thank you for your question. This is a time for your time management. Firstly, you need to find a time management to help, e.g. MS Outlook, Phone Calendar, Google Calendar, etc.
Below are my suggestions :
1. Put down the time you need to attend classes
2. Assign some time everyday on your assignments, projects, etc. Review the material covered in the classes everyday. If you have any question, ask the tutor in the next tutorials
3. Make sure you have enough time to sleep and do some exercise
4. You can then allocate the time for your leisure and friend & family gatherings
5. You may need to assign more time for revision before assessments
You don't need to fill up your schedule full. Keep some 'me' time to relax.
Hope this helps! Good Luck!
May Almighty God bless you!
