Balance Your Life
Q. How can I get some time to myself without distancing myself from my friends and boyfriend? I’m in my second year of uni, I have a job and a full on schedule. I see my boyfriend most nights and I always do something with my friends on the weekends. I feel like I never have any time to myself though, and when I do I’m so exhausted all I want to do is sleep!
A. Uni can be a really hard time, mostly because you have this urge to do absolutely everything so you don’t miss out! Unfortunately though, if you do end up taking on too much, some aspects of your life are bound to suffer after a while. Prioritising your life can be really hard, especially when you have to put the stuff you love further down the list to make sure they don’t compromise things like your university studies, which are super important right now. You need to accept that if you want to achieve at uni and in your job though, you’re going to have to cut back on the friends time somewhat - at least for a while. I know you don’t want to distance yourself from your friends, but if you don’t slow down chances are you’re going to crash and burn.
Sometimes simply changing what you do with your buddies can make a huge difference. I’d suggest looking for ways to hang out with friends that don’t involve going out all the time - like inviting them ‘round to watch a dvd or make dinner together. Something like that gives you the opportunity to relax in your own space, but you still get to see the people you care about. That said, there’s nothing wrong with cordoning off a little ‘me time’ just for you. I’m sure if you tell your friends how exhausted you are and say you need a weekend off - or even a few hours to just do your own thing - they’ll totally understand!
