For those who don't know, I went back to college online in the spring of 2021, because I had the time for it what with the pandemic and all. I'm not that far from finishing. However...
I am beginning to conclude that I have been biting off more than I can chew with school. On the one hand, I have to take two classes each semester in order to remain in deferment on student loan repayment. On the other, taking two classes wipes me out mentally because it's too much on top of a 40-hour workweek. If I try to also have a personal life, I get overwhelmed. If I neglect having a personal life, I get depressed and angry.
I need to take just one class at a time for optimal academic results and mental health related to work/life/school balance. But then I have to look at being in repayment while still in school.
