Real talk: Front-load hard classes, cluster work Fri-Sat. Tools: Forest app blocks, batch errands. Money: Campus job + tutoring beats retail. Threshold: GPA<3.2 → quit. I did 22hrs + 3.6 GPA via 50/10 Pomodoro + sleep priority. Resume gold: “Managed 20hr role + Dean’s List”.
Hey Emily, Block schedule: Classes 9-2pm, work 4-8pm, study 9-11pm max. Hacks: Anki commute review, Notion master planner. Max 15-20hrs/wk. Aid: Work-study first (tax-free). GPA dip? Drop to 10hrs. Alumni avg 3.4 GPA + $20/hr job → great resume.
