Balancing Academics With Every Other Life Commitment

Balancing school and other things I love doing is one of the hardest part of my life in the university. Sometimes I even they wonder how I am still standing because the stress is plenty. My biggest passion is baking that's what I do right before I get admission. I really enjoy mixing flour, sugar, butter and making cake or small chops. It makes me happy anytime people eat what I bake and smile. Sometimes my friends will come to me beg me to bake meat pie or birthday cake for them, and even though I am tired from class, I still do it. Baking is like my small business but also something I just love to keep doing.

Apart baking, I also involve myself in school activities and event planning. I am the type of person that people always want call when they are planning departmental week or faculty event, because I like arranging chairs, decorating small, and making sure things go well. I can spend hours running around campus for event matters, even when I suppose to be reading. I don’t know why I enjoy it but I just like seeing people happy during event.

Another thing is my fellowship activities. I am active in my students fellowship on campus, and sometimes I have to attend weekly meetings, choir practice my department and night vigil. This one too take plenty time because you can’t just say no when it is for God work.

With all this, combining my academics has not been easy at all. Seriously sometimes I will come back from event planning late and still try to read for test. Or after baking order, I will be tired and sleep instead of reading. But somehow, I always find a way to manage. I try to remind myself that no matter what, my studies come first, and I have my friend, my roommate, a sister from another mother, she is indeed very helpful to me and with all of this without degree all this other things no go balance.

The truth is, I am not perfect in this balance, but I just keep pushing. Commitment and sacrifice is the only way I survive. I bake, I plan, I go fellowship, but at the end of the day, I still write my exams and thank I make it out successfully.
