How do I balance my work life with my personal life?

I want to make sure I can have a good balance between work and my personal life. It’s important to me to have time for family, friends, and things I enjoy, not just work all the time. I’ve heard that some careers can take up a lot of your time, so I want to understand what that’s really like.

What are your top tips on building impactful relationships with mentors?

Finding mentors is a difficult task in and of its own, however maintaining and nurturing those relationships is in my opinion 10x more difficult.

How can I successfully build those relationships as a high school, but also assure that they are impactful?

Is working as a business hard?

A typical day in business usually includes checking emails, going to meetings, working on reports, solving problems, and helping the company run well. People often work with others and make decisions, then finish the day by planning for tomorrow.

Is it normal to be scared about growing up and life after college is over?

I'm mostly concerned that I am not pacing myself correctly for the future and that I will not be prepared enough for it. I'm mostly scared that I am not financially prepared enough for life after college.
