I am 22/F, go to college full-time and also work. I have a good job, a great boyfriend, and a wonderful family. I go to school most of the week and usually work during the weekends or when I can. The problem is I'm being torn in all different directions. My mom thinks I should devote more time to school, my boss wants me to work more, and my boyfriend tells me he never gets to see me. I try to split my time fairly, but it just seems its a never ending battle. I never even have a chance to just sit down and have time for myself. These are supposed to be the best years of my life, but I've never been so unhappy. I see my friends going out Saturday nights having fun at the bar, and I'm either home studying, working long hours or sleeping! These years are going to pass by so quick and I'm going to be left with no memories, just exhausted. How do I manage my time and also combine it with being happy?
Sweet_LiL_Angel answered Saturday April 2 2011, 3:54 pm: Have you thought about taking the summer off for school? Its not giving up its just taking a break that you deserve that gives you time with boyfriend and sometime to work. If it makes your mom upset tell her you just need a little break and your going right back to school after this summer is over. [ Sweet_LiL_Angel's advice column | Ask Sweet_LiL_Angel A Question ]
