Leaving my job

My first job I had as a student I feel sad leaving it but I do need to grow up now as I’m focusing on my actual profession and doing 4 days so I told myself I’d have to quit the other job that I do one day at. I did enjoy socialising with people and my friends there are so nice. However I do need to focus on my real job as it’ll get me to better places and better pay. But you know it is sad leaving my student job. Am I doing the right thing?

Most important thing is take care of yourself, U don't want to burn out.
My part time job at uni is amazing as the team is incredible and I dread having to leave, but we need to remember that we took this job to help us through uni so we can then go work a certain profession.
If u feel like u can work both (ending up 5 days a week) and can relax rest and be ready for the next week after the 2 days off then sure. Just do what's best for u.
And if not and u need to leave then stay in contact and meet up with your friends and work colleagues outside if work and keep eachother in your lives.
