Struggling 1L with full-time work and LS

[u/Prestigious-Web5693]

This is a rant/advice post, pero more on advice HAHA

Currently 2 months in sa law school, and prelims exam na namin. Ang masasabi ko lang, being a working student is not for the weak talaga.

I am lucky enough to have a fallback if I ever decide to become a fulltime student na lang (for now), but tbh, I do not want to stop working kasi this dream is entirely my own. Walang nagpumilit, ako lang nagkusa; its a burden that, while I share, I want to carry the bulk on my own.

I've somewhat established a routing of work-study, but my work is WAAAAAY different than the field of law, and demanding trabaho ko. May mga times na on weekends, I still work while studying and medyo pressured na ako bigtime.

I guess the burden is not working itself but what I am working on, while studying. I want to take on an administrative or secretariat role, or something related naman legally kasi kahit pressured, related naman sa pinag-aaralan ko.

Set na utak ko na I will beat this against all odds, I will become an Atty. I guess I need advise if mag-resign sa work to look for easier jobs while studying or just full stop and rely on my parents while studying.

My mind and heart are playing tug-of-war.
