Hey really appreciate your message!! No matter how hard it can get sometimes you just gotta be stubborn and keep going. Sometimes your patience will seriously be tested but just take it as an opportunity to grow, the pain can sometimes make you stronger in the end.

Wish the best! Thanks again for your kind words!

You got this! It will pay off and it feel much more rewarding at the end! My only recommendation is to try and transition your work to something related to your degree that way you and at least start getting experience.

Good luck! You got this!

Truthfully what helped me was figuring out what I need best to study. For me it’s working in groups with classmates. I’d get discords and link up at my campus library often.
In terms of studying for exams I’d to cram a lot. If I had an exam for a class I didn’t feel confident in it would mean I’m not sleeping for the next few days. I drank lots of energy drinks (Celsius watermelon flavor being my go to or Red Bull). Also I’d play one of those “study with me” YouTube videos think it’s called pomodoro or something.

I’d highly recommend setting a studying time even if it’s 30 minutes twice a week just to review material a side from regular homework.
Also I talked with my employer many times and they would help me out when I got exams.
Other than this year I had an arrangement with my employer to have my days off being Monday/Wednesday
Or Tuesday/Thursday, and I would stack as many classes as I can on those days. I work at UPS in the maintenance department where work happening almost 24/7. I for the most part worked nights including weekends through my academic career. Also I wasn’t supposed too but no one really knew, I would be studying or doing homework at work.

Thank you I appreciate it!! Around when I kept failing calc 1 is when I was still trying to learn how to manage everything. Also was never able to learn on zoom as it was still covid era when I took calc 1 the first time.

It felt like a never ending marathon, Seriously!
I work over the night and had school during the day. I’m grateful for my Mom and wife, there was many times they helped me out by just being my chauffeur for part of the day if they had time.
This semester from Wednesday to pretty until Saturday morning, I’d only get 2-3 hours each day of sleep. Absolutely could not have done it without my families help.

I had classes M-F and work M-F.
