Managing internships, work and school can be a balancing act. When it comes to college, always pay attention to your grades. A useful tool is to spread out your homework and projects throughout the week. Once you prioritize your assignments and how much time each requires, you will be able to create a clear schedule of your tasks that need to be finalized.
At work and at your internship, always show initiative and interest in what you are doing. You are there to network and to grow as an employee. Even though you may be busy, make sure that you are always putting time and effort into whatever task you are given. Your time management skills will be greatly impacted as you become more accustomed to a faster paced environment.
The way I juggled these three parts of my schedule was by having each on separate days. You will be less overwhelmed if one day you are at school, the next at your internship and the following at work. You will also be punctual and you can focus on specific tasks.
The undeniable emotion that follows these aspects of life is stress. To make sure that your stress levels are controlled and that you have a limited amount of stress, here are a few tips.
At the end of your busy days, make sure that you are enjoying what you are doing. Balancing internships, work and school, can be very difficult but also rewarding. The hard work that you put into your life now, will help you to excel in the future. You should be proud of yourself for being so motivated and for taking that step ahead in the world of fashion!
