Hi everyone,
I love the idea of this thread! When I started uni I had no idea about the work opportunities that were out there!
I work as a Student Ambassador at my university which is a paid role, assisting in events, school visits and many more things! Not only has this fit perfectly around my studies, I've also made some great friends through working and had some good opportunities to develop myself!
When it comes to balancing everything, my main tips are to keep a diary and schedule in all of your deadlines as soon as you get them to stay on track. I also set reminders in my phone so I get a warning a week before things are due! Making sure you always have something to look forward to at the end of each week also helps me to stay motivated!
I hope this helps!
