Do you have any tips for students who are trying to balance schoolwork, extracurriculars, and other obligations like internships? It’s a really tough thing to do. I am a huge procrastinator so I think avoiding that actually helps. Being able to stay on top of your work and being organized are things that will make your life so much easier. With my internship I am finding that I have needed to re-evaluate and figure out what exactly I can handle and what I have time for. It’s all about prioritizing at this point.
