I’ve found that joining study groups with friends helps a lot. We can tackle schoolwork together while still catching up and having fun, which makes it feel less overwhelming.
To balance both worlds, I prioritize my mental health. If I feel too stressed, I take a break and connect with friends to recharge. It’s important to take care of yourself first!
I use weekends to catch up on studying, leaving weekdays open for socializing. This way, I can relax with friends without the pressure of unfinished homework hanging over me.
I try to remind myself that my friends understand how busy I can get. Being honest about my schedule helps me keep strong friendships while focusing on my academics.
Finding the right balance took time, but now I prioritize my schoolwork during the week and reserve weekends for friends. It’s a system that’s worked well for me so far!
