"Balancing everything takes structure and flexibility. I use detailed planners and color-coded calendars and set aside specific blocks of time for schoolwork. I also remind myself to take breaks and maintain boundaries between work and study, so I don鈥檛 burn out. And when all that careful planning fails, I fall back on the time-honored tradition of late-night study sessions that somehow stretch into the wee hours of the morning."
