Balancing work and student life

Combining work and school can be challenging at times, but there are ways to stay on top of both schedules.

Many people who work while attending a college strive to find a balance in their lives. Both are big commitments, but with a little focus and planning you can manage one as well as the other.

Meah Dickson is a student and a full-time employee. “Combining my school and work schedule can be pretty tough, but I do so by keeping a detailed calendar as well as a notebook with all of my assignments and also my work schedule in it, just to make my life a lot easier and not so hectic,” said Dickson.
