    I run a small custom phone case biz on Instagram and it’s tough keeping up with school deadlines. I try to batch-create designs on weekends and only take limited orders during exam periods. I’m still figuring it out, tbh.

    I tutor kids in my neighborhood after school. The biggest challenge for me is mental exhaustion. I now use Google Calendar to block out time for rest just like I do for work. Balance = key!

    I sell bookmarks I draw by hand. I keep it really chill though—no pressure. I only take custom orders when I don’t have tests. It’s okay to go slow 💛
