There is an excitement that comes with earning while still studying. It is an excellent experience as you will be able to pay your bills without continually reaching out to guardians, parents or sponsors. Juggling part-time work and university work is great; however, to some students, it’s a nightmare. The challenge arises when one wants to be successful for both parties. Part-Time work is an excellent opportunity as it equips you with the necessary things you need to get ready to face anything out there in the world. On the other hand, university study is also essential for your future. The following tips will guide you to juggle part-time work and university study.

Have a Personal Study Schedule

Immediately the semester begins and the semester timetable is out, try and make your study schedule. A study schedule will help you to know what time you have to study. By having a clear picture of that, it will be then easier for you to know the days and hours to work. A study schedule also makes you organized.

Location of the Part-Time Work

The location of your part-time job will determine how you juggle your university study and part-time work. For instance, if you reside within the university hostels, then choose a part-time work located near the university. The shorter the distance between the university and location of the part-time job will mean that you will not feel fatigue. A fresh mind and a body full of energy are efficient when studying as well as when working at your part-time job.

Select a Flexible Part-Time Work

Anyone will be happy if he or she gets a high pay when working especially in apart time job. However, when studying try to avoid picking the money and choose flexibility. A part-time job with flexible working hours will offer you plenty of time to study. A flexible job will allow you to balance your university work and you will never be late to submit your assignments.

Come up with a Flexible Routine

Routines help to identify the type of student you are. For instance, you will be able to determine at what time you understand best. Is it late in the night or early in the morning? By having a routine, you will also know the time you can go to your part-time job. It is also important to come up with a flexible and practical routine as it will be easy for you to stick to it.

Avoid Procrastination

You already have your routine set as well as your study schedule. These two translate directly to success in the university work as well as success in your part-time job. However, you will not get all that if you procrastinate any task ahead of you. If it is time to study or do an assignment, sit down and do that. The same rule applies to your part-time work. Avoiding procrastination enables you to be at par with your university work as well as do all your duties at your part-time job. It’s also a key to avoid last minute rush.
