How Can You Organize Your Time for work, school and social life?

why do i ask? i'm in a program where you basically make up for all the science/math subjects that weren't done in highschool, and as for math you need to memorize everything by heart because there won't be a cheat sheet to support your thoughts. i've told my friend that i am considering the idea of isolating myself at home, and just be a bookworm but she tells me it's a bad idea since we need a balance between the two (i know that, but it's hard for me to maintain that balance).
so, how do you people do it?

i pick my classes to be between 8:50am-1pm, with atleast 12 units
right now i get out of class around 12 M-F
i drive home, if i gotta go to work earlier than usual i'd stop by a fast food joint and buy something to eat at home...if i had extra time i'd nap for 10-15 minutes lol and head to work
I work from 2:30ish-6ish~ as a teacher's assistant, it's chill so i don't get sooo stressed out like my last job...and my boss gave me fridays off, so i work only mon-thursdays yeyyy~ ( i guess this is my socializing time? lol)
i get home around near 7, i eat dinner and shower
and then i have the rest of the night to do homework/study....i usually sleep at 1-2am...2:30 if i have to pick up my mom from work
oh one thing to do FOR SURE IS TO, ALWAYS START ON YOUR PAPERS ATLEAST A WEEK EARLY, if you procrastinate heh..usually my teachers assign us papers a month in advance...so i would start on it like 3 days before it due with atleast 1-2 pages typed per day heh
and I wouldn't take math and science in one semester...thats just too much for me heheh. i also need to make up some math because i lack math skills and was 2 classes behind
i don't know about book worming, i'm in the winging everything phase because i'm like still in summer mode LOL =_= starting to get back into things...i hate reading in general...but theres some good study tips in the college thread like reading for 20 minutes and taking a 5-10 minute break in between and recall and continue what you read~
well...i uh hope this is useful to someone haha..

I would suggest planner so you can plan ahead and instead of cramming such a little bit everyday like reading and reviewing your notes weeks before the test. Or if you have a paper start earlier especially for things like research because those take up the most time.

i pick classes mon-thurs mostly morning classes (not too early!) around 9 or 10 :] and end around 3 or 4
i am currently only working 2 days after school.
i find it very wise to read/study on the train/bus! because what else are u going to do? might as well use that time wisely!
since i only have 4 days of classes.. i prefer to do most of my homework on friday so for the weekend i would be worry free...
i just HAVE to get something done, cus i hate worrying! lol

you make mee xD~

Midnight ~ 6:30AM = Sleep
7:45AM ~ 3PM = Sschool
3pm ~ 11pm = Homework, Parties, Shopping, whatever.
Days go by fast, I sometimes lose track of the date.
On weekends, I just have fun. (:

haha same!
I sleep about 5-6 hours a night and I'm at school for 8 hours of the day...so that leaves 11-12 hours. and now that I think about it I have so much more time on my hands than I ever imagined. I'm so lazy ;(

I'm going to try to schedule all of my classes in the mornings so I can work in the afternoons when I find a job (haha).
Then I can use the evenings and weekends for my social life, working out and studying.
I get depressed when I'm bored.
How do you guys have a full day starting in the early am without being exhaused come evening?

Basically every weekday is go to school, come back and do homework.
On Saturdays, it's working from 7am-3:30pm.
And on Sundays, I sleep in and finish more homework.
THERE AREN'T ENOUGH HOURS IN A DAY TO DO EVERYTHING I WANT
