Being a full-time student is arguably comparable to working a full-time and part-time job, depending on the number credits you take. I'm taking fifteen. And I spend all afternoon, every day working on homework. Not to mention going to classes for four-five hours a day. Between classes and homework I work on school about ten hours a day. No joke. Some days more, some days less. That's definitely a full-time job and more. Add to that the whole I'm-independent-and-have-to-support-myself part-time job thing. And that takes out four more hours of my day each day. 
         Now, of course we need to stay healthy so we devote an hour a day to exercising. But, we're also social people and cannot neglect that aspect of life. Devote, maybe, two hours a day to that? How about one? One and a half over the course of the day. Eating, that's important too. If you were to eat fast you'd spend like an hour and a half total eating for all of your meals. That includes cooking since we can always multi-task eating. Well, I'm a girl, so I have to spend some time getting ready every day. On average it takes me about forty minutes in the morning and twenty at night. So, an hour a day, shall we? Luckily, I'm Mormon. Unfortunately that comes with the burden of a million meetings and obligations. How about an hour a day to spiritual things {don't forget keep a prayer in your heart, kids, and don't check your religion at the door with what I'm saying} that includes praying, reading scriptures, doing VT, going to FHE, fulfilling callings {if your'e in the RS presidency like me that's kind of a biggie}, and everything else around church things. Ah, but we're human and need eight hours of sleep.
Are you counting?
Because, we're up to 28 hours. As good as I am at prioritizing my time {what's that facebook..?} and all, that four hour deficit comes straight out of where?
Sleep.
Always out of sleep. Maybe not at other, easier schools, but at BYU, what a good friend told me at the start of my college experience definitely applies, "no one successful sleeps while they're in college."

Can I just say.

I'm tired.
So. So. Tired. I'm a month into the semester, just starting a job, and so tired.
