Having trouble balancing everything....

Sounds like you're about to find out what really matters to you and what really doesn't. Hope you were raised well and make smart choices.

I am a sophomore nursing major in college. I am a full time student and have a part time job. I am having trouble finding the energy to go to the gym and to cook healthy meals for myself. I am having difficulties balancing school, work, family, volunteering, and helping out around the house( I am the oldest of four kids, so i usually have a lot of responsibility). I just feel like there aren't enough hours i the day sometime

You can do all of this. You just need to be creative and think outside the box when it comes to fulfilling some of these responsibilities.

For instance, I bought two portions of lunch from the company cafeteria because I'm just not going to have enough time to cook supper for my kids when I get home. It's healthy and only $7 for the two of them.

You can get an awful lot of housework done if you set a timer for 15 minutes and just learn efficiencies to crank through each task as quickly as possible.

Oh man, I need advice there haha I put off housework like there's no tomorrow because I just can't seem to get anything done in under an hour. I flit around from room to room and never really get anything clean hahaha

Welcome to adulthood...and I mean that completely honestly.

I wish I could tell you it gets better, but it doesn't. Just wait until you add a spouse, a few kids, and trying to balance all of THEIR activities with your own.

I don't say this to discourage you. But at some point we all need to learn 1) how to sometimes say "no" and 2) set goals and priorities. Find the things that are most important to you and make them your priorities to the extent you are able to.

This!!
