Whether you are a part time or full time student, time is a valuable commodity. Not only do you have mid-terms coming up, but your family and friends might want to see you from time to time.
So how do you balance in your personal and school life? How do you juggle class attendance, homework, group projects, tests, work, family, and perhaps a social life? You must have a plan! Keep a calendar on all of your obligations. It pays many dividends to get ahead as much as possible on your assigned readings and projects. There is nothing worse than pulling an all-nighter while finishing a project or cramming for a test.
Besides planning, taking some you time is critical. You have a lot going on and sometimes it might be best to just take a “time out.” Put down your books and laptops every now and then and come up for air. All work and no play make Jack or Jill a dull person!
Pursuing a MBA is no small task. Learning the material, networking, and being on the lookout for new career opportunities should always be at the forefront. The best way to keep everything balanced is to have a plan of action. When you’re done attacking your homework go do something you love, and get rejuvenated for the next round!
