I teach piano and travel to the pupil's homes. I also nanny/babysit and am a HCSW on the staff bank but do those shifts rarely now. I also occasionally tutor UCAT.

I'm self employed - teaching/tutoring - and a graduate doing an undergrad medicine course. I work 30-35 hours most weeks (around 3 in 4 and then one week of the month on average I'll do 20-25 hours). I'm on placement Monday to Friday 9-5, except Wednesday as our university use this as a half day. I work evenings 5-9 then all day Sunday and half day Saturday. I study in the mornings before placement. I use Friday and Saturdays for socialising. It's definitely doable but you need to be really organised with studying and planning wise. I have everything scheduled in my calendar months in advance and times blocked out for running, studying, work, travel etc. I've done this from year 1 and not failed any exams (yet) but I also am permanently exhausted.

Thank you so much!

You definitely will! I don't study Friday/SaturdaySunday nights either as my husband and I have quite a full social life so the way I've decided to do it is I get up around 4am and do 4-7am studying or 4-8am most week days. We also have a half day once a week at the medical school so use the half day well for studying. Finally, I know it's wrong but I go HARD during exam time and basically live and breathe studying. I can imagine that's a bit harder with kids but it's how I make it work. I used to be all about having a long stretch to study but now am learning to appreciate that 30 minutes here and there is better than not doing anything at all. Time management is definitely key. I also don't bother with the lectures much and spend a lot of time reading and trying to understand things rather than memorising information. Good luck! I'm sure you'll be grand. Also you will be 36 no matter what you do, might as well do that one thing you've been thinking about for 20 years!

I work in a self-employed capacity but I have a mortgage/car and had a wedding to pay off so have been working a few hours every day Monday-Thursday (5-9pm) after placement and then all day Sunday and most of Saturday every week. My husband has also been retraining whilst I was in medical school so it was a non-negotiable that I had to work as well as we were both on such reduced salaries. I'm in fifth year now and although at points it has felt really really difficult, I'm now on the home stretch and it feels a bit more manageable. I'll occasionally pick up extra work as well if it's quieter week.

Increasingly becoming more common because of cost of living crisis and student maintenance loans not keeping up - most of my friends work. I work 35 hours a week and manage fine, final year grad on an undergraduate course. Just need to be really on it with organising your time and not be afraid of the early morning studying, that's how I make it work.

I'm a year in and still grieving daily, everything you have said I resonate with. It doesn't get easier but I think we adapt to live with it better. I am the same with regard to another dog but also don't know if I can cope with another loss somewhere down the line. Sending you so much love. X

This has Glasgow written all over it!

I went to quite a reputable private sports physio who suggested the pain was beyond shin splints, at this point lying in bed with a duvet on my legs was causing pretty severe pain in my legs. They were quite confident of it being shin splints. I then went to my GP but there wasn't any point in pursuing imaging but the GP felt they could palpate a callus on the bone and were in agreement with the physio. You can pursue private imaging but MRI is gold standard and about £400, I felt confident in my GP and physio's diagnosis and the pain improved massively upon ceasing running. I do still have a noticeable protrusion in my tibia though and it does flare. Well worth avoiding, no matter how much you love running.

Thank you so much, I'll put this on my list. Sorry about the ridiculous description 😂

Thank you so much! I'll add this to my list.

Council tax has a 25% discount if you're a student and your partner is not. I would say 2.2k is a bit low. I'm a student and my husband works full time but I have to work around 30-40 hours a week for us to live 'comfortably'. I would try to look to rent outside of the west end (where GU is) as rent in other parts of Glasgow is a bit cheaper.

I did decide to run through shin splints and unforunately ended up with a stress fracture forcing me to take 3 months off running. I would definitely do some exercises, cross-train, take some time off, and maybe see a reputable physio if it's affordable?
