This has been very helpful . However i am working part time, and although yes it takes up my weekend, do you think its a smart thing to be doing in my 2nd year. I do fall behind in the workshops so i dont participate but i learn on the spot and as soon as i catch up i dont find it immensely difficult, mind you we also have an insane amount of study leave . But idk what do you think have you met people who achieved a first whilst working a part time job

You can do it, but, thinking long term, it may be better to be a bit short of money now by giving up the job than to jeopardise your chances of doing as well as you can in your degree. Only you can decide whether you can juggle the job and the academic work successfully.
At least two universities tell their students not to do a part time job while studying, and they may have the right idea, but of course economic reality bears down on us all. I had part time jobs when I was doing postgraduate legal studies (I really needed the money), but I did not have a job when I was an undergraduate, except for during summer vacations (but in those far-off days we received maintenance grants, we did not pay any fees at undergraduate level, and we could sign on the dole and claim housing benefit during vacations: such was the vanished world of the Postwar Consensus).
