I am in my 4<sup>th<\/sup> year at the University of York. I previously studied BSc Environmental Geography for three years, and now I&#8217;m engaged in MSc Sustainability Science for a further year. I\u2019m a long-standing member of the <a href=\"https:\/\/yusu.org\/activities\/view\/archery-a47e\">Archery Society<\/a> and love the University for its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/about\/campus\/\">gorgeous campus<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/about\/campus\/wildlife\/\">friendly waterfowl<\/a>. I also work at a hotel.

My job enables me to work a combination of breakfast and evening restaurant shifts. So even on my workdays, I always have the other half a day to do whatever I need with \u2013 which is perfect!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plan ahead<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Planning ahead is important, not just week by week but also term by term. Once my timetable is released, I send my employer a copy straight away. This is so helpful as they can make sure my shifts avoid timetabled sessions, so I never have to sacrifice one for the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use those holidays wisely<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Utilise those holiday days. The best use I found, is to use them for my exam weeks, just to give myself plenty of breathing space to focus on university, without worrying about being on my A game at work too. I can also use them around field trips and particularly busy weeks, just so I make sure I get enough rest time in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/Sammie-Bradley-timetable.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/Sammie-Bradley-timetable.jpg?resize=352%2C434&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A screenshot of an online calendar with various events scheduled.\" class=\"wp-image-9903\" width=\"352\" height=\"434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/Sammie-Bradley-timetable.jpg?w=703&amp;ssl=1 703w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/Sammie-Bradley-timetable.jpg?resize=243%2C300&amp;ssl=1 243w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 352px) 100vw, 352px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>A typical timetabled week<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Allocate time sensibly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Week by week, I keep a Google calendar on my laptop so I can see my gaps around my sessions and shifts. This means I can block book some dedicated study time in, and I can leave my unallocated time for relaxing and doing fun things, like going to archery, so I still don\u2019t miss out on the social side of uni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Overall <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, working part-time alongside your degree is manageable and can even be fun! Having a separate group of friends at work to socialise with is great and the work keeps me busy over the holidays as a welcome break from assignments. Also, that extra money is wonderful and can really alleviate some of the financial pressures of student life. If you can manage it effectively, part-time working doesn\u2019t need to take away from having that authentic student experience!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, my name is Sammie.
