“I just make sure to plan out everything to the point where I do have time to do things I enjoy like taking walks or hanging out with friends, and making sure I’m not staying up really late at night. Staying up until 3 a.m. is not fun, so minimizing those nights to me is really important.”

“I do take advantage of the counseling services a lot, timely care especially, all that fun stuff. But other than that, really just try to manage my homework as best I can and also keep time for myself too. I usually try keep Friday and Saturdays open usually in the evening. I try not to do any homework or just to have with my friends or whatever I want to do.”
