Students at every level struggle with balance. Perhaps an even wiser statement would be all humans struggle with balance. But for students it is always balancing school with other things in you life, family, friends, hobbies, work, sports. It's nearly impossible to get it right all the time, and naturally other aspects of your life always pull on you the hardest when all of your attention needs to be focused on school. I wish I could say that I have figured out a way to deal with it, but I probably use one of the worst tactics. I tend to ignore phone calls and skip fun activities as deadlines approach. I'd like to send out this note just before the end of term hits:
"Dear family, friends, and loved ones,
For the next two weeks please refrain from any dramatic altercations, mental breakdowns, life altering revelations, time consuming favors, tragic accidents, and life changing decisions that need my in-put. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter, communications will now cease until after my last final."
But I have a feeling it wouldn't go over too well.
