Balancing work and school is kind of like being in the middle of an extremely rickety teeter-totter: your bosses and co-workers are at one end and your teachers, peers and parents are at the other. Underneath the teeter-totter awaits certain failure, destitution and judgment. Both sides have the same weight—if you start to move in one direction, you begin to let the other dip, and down you slide.
Don’t worry though, because you’ve only let one party down and they’re sure to tell you to move to the other side as quickly as possible.
Now here’s the part to remember—don’t rush to the other side, just rush back to the middle. If you keep running back and forth you’ll eventually break the teeter-totter, and you’ll fall into your very own version of hell.
