I'm working full-time and just started studying part-time. Can anyone give some advice on how to cope? It's been quite overwhelming recently, but I can't afford to give up either.

When u feel overwhelmed breathe and seek social support. utilise ur annual leaves. during exam ask for study leave. all the best.

Hello friends the best Pop Slots online slots in 2023 will be those that offer a balance between high and low payouts. Medium volatility slots will have higher average https://bestcasinoplay.ca/online-slots/pop/ payouts than low volatility slots, but not as much as high volatility slots. This makes them ideal for players who want to win big but don't want to take a lot of risk.

Excellent time management snd great support network at work and family.

First thing - what about it are you finding it hard to cope? Financial? Stress?

I’m currently taking part-time Masters in NUS (just for reference on the amount of stress, lol) and working full-time as a professional. Seeing that I’m almost graduating, I think the points below worked quite well and may help you survive alright:

1. Overload your semesters

For my programme, I’m expected to take 10 modules in total and complete the programme in no more than 3 years. Having a good spread would mean taking 2 modules for 5 semesters. However, I chose to do it in 4 semesters by overloading 2 semesters with 3 modules. This helped me to save 1 semester’s school fees and also there is a Chinese saying, 长痛不如短痛。The more you spread the your modules, the more likely you’ll feel the inertia to study. The intensity will set you into grind mode and before you know it, the programme is over and you’ve graduated!

2. Choose your modules wisely

If your programme allows you to choose modules, use your first semester‘s results to have a good gauge as to which kind of subjects you fare better in. Take more of those modules, if that is also your interest. The more interest you have in a module, the more likely you’ll want to understand the concepts and hence, fare better at it.

3. Make friends

Making (capable) people as friends is definitely beneficial. Project? No problem, just group with them. You can ride the wave (but please contribute, don’t leech!) by learning from them. Individual assignment? No problem, you can consult them or compare answers with them. Additional plus is you won’t be attending lecture alone, how fun!

4. Study ahead

Personally, I’m bad at this because my job makes me work OT all the time. But studying in advance and regularly gives you time to digest concepts, ask people if you don’t understand and also do practice papers. You’re less likely to to feel last-minute stress, which is counterproductive.

5. Set your mindset right

There‘s a Chinese idiom, 先苦后甜. Work hard now to enjoy the fruits later. Be fixated on this and you’ll unlikely fall for temptation to laze your weekends away.

6. Plan activities after exams

Gathering with friends, holiday trip... Anything that floats your boat. Plan it in advance (during ”school holiday” or at the start of the semester) and you can use that to carrot your way through the semester. With something to look forward to, every semester is more bearable!

Best of luck with it! It’s actually not as scary as you think it is :)
