A good news for this semester, I got a full time job in this economy downturn. However, goods' always come with price.
Being a full time student as well as a full time employee at the same time, it means I have no free time for my family, friends and church.
Here is my schedule:
Monday & Wednesday: 4 classes, from 10am to 9pm
Tuesday & Thursday: 2 classes in the morning, from 8.40am to 12.25pm;
Then work from 1pm to 7pm.
Friday to Sunday: Work from 12pm to 7pm.
As a result, I don't have any dayoff technically. I'm occupied by work and study. Every time I back home, my parent, brother and sister are all in their beds. I am always working in weekends so that I can't hang out with my friends. I'm always the one who miss out all gatherings. Make it worse, my boyfriend and I run conflicting schedules. When he has free time, I am either at work or shool. When I get off work, he's having evening classes at the other school. Again, it's impossible for us to spend even one quality afternoon in summer weekends. For my religion, I feel sorry about it. I am a christian, but always late for Friday Fellowship and miss out all Sunday Worship on Sundays because of my job.
This time management problem is driving me nuts. I can't afford to lose my job, since I need to support my family with rent. We all know that how difficult it is to get a job these days. How can I ask for more? But all relationships need time to develop. Can anyone giving me any suggestion that I can balance between work, study and relationships? I cannot afford to lose neither of them.

I don’t think that it’s the time management problem. The problem is that you are taking too many classes, and I think that 7 classes are way too much. I would suggest taking 4 or maximum 5 classes next semester. I understand that you want to finish your college faster, but cutting down the number of classes can help you to be more social and spend more time with your family.
