WOW~ how do you survive with massive school work n work?... arent you tired..

[lidge_fan]

awwwwwwwww man, that's killer

going to schools for 18 HOURS
then work for 20 HOURS
then Sunday school

i definitely know 1 thing: you're defintely not gonna get much sleep and chances are you're gonna be under a lot of stress and cranky as hell

anyway, good luck to you
hope everything works out good in the end

You know, it's best if you go to class before work. If you do it the other way around, you're just so tired that you're more prone to skip class.

Be careful! Last fall semester, I worked about 20-25 hours with only 13 credits but even with that, I did horrible because I skipped so much.
However, spring semester.. I took 16 credits and only worked about 15 hours. Needless to say, I managed to get a 3.7 GPA.

To sum it up, remember that school comes first.. especially above something like a part time job. Balance well- finish your homework as soon as you can, don't forget to attend classes, and don't lose out on sleep.

Good luck ;]

I'm a full time student, I'm taking 3 language courses at the same time, working 3 jobs and I'm president and very active in a student group. My friends think I'm crazy for being able to juggle all that but I just break down my time in a day and do what I have to do. I don't fill up every block to the last second, mind you. Just enough to accomplish everything and still have room to sleep, eat, have fun ^^

P.S. my planner is my lifeline. I'd sink without it lol

wow 18 credits is a lot.. the most i took was that much during my first semester my freshman year.. but i only worked short hours, say 13-15 p/t.. lately i have been trying to maintain 5 classes (15 credits) but all are english 300-400 level and work only about 10-12 hours a week now... and i can manage that now.. i just prioritized what is more important.. and to me its school because im dying to graduate, so i decided to work less..

Tired..Yes very tired but I manage to keep a 3.8 GPA. Just keep yourself motivated and hard work will pay off at the end...thats what I think..

try registering for morning classes or classes that end by 1pm at least so u can have the rest of the day clear for other priorities.

I'm going to school full time, but I'm doing arts, so I only have about 17 hours of classes each week. I go to school Monday, and then Wed-Fri I work ~10 hours a week on Tuesdays and Saturdays. And I have my Sundays off.

I'm going to see how that works out, and then maybe I'll ask for another shift on a day where I have classes too. But I think school comes first, so if you can't handle full time school and job, then cut back on the job. Or take less school.
