How do I balance my school work and social life on a daily?
I am a current high school senior looking to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) starting in the fall of 2026. As a student transferring into the college life, it has come to my understanding that it can be difficult to some to adapt to the lifestyle. What can I do to make the switch easier?

Hi Kaylei. A way to make the switch to college easier is to practice good study habits now. You can break big tasks into smaller parts. For example, if you have an essay due, divide it into steps: research, outline, write, and revise. This will prevent you from feeling overwhelmed and cramming the night before. Having strong study habits will also help you adjust to the more challenging work in nursing school. If you ever feel stuck, look for help, whether it's through tutoring, study groups, or asking your teachers for advice.
In college, there will be a lot to manage, especially with the demanding nursing program. It's important to plan your time wisely. You can create a weekly or daily planner where you set aside time for studying, classes, and homework. Don't forget to include time for breaks and relaxation. By planning your day in advance, you can make sure you're keeping up with schoolwork without sacrificing your social life. If you stick to your schedule, you'll feel less stressed and have time for fun too.
While school is important, it's also essential to maintain a social life. Having fun and relaxing with friends can help you reduce stress and feel more balanced. But in college, time can get tight, so it's important to plan your social time too. For example, if you have a busy week, you might want to study first and then meet friends afterward. Setting clear boundaries and knowing when to focus on school and when to relax will help you stay on track.
