Hello! My name is Divine Lawson, and I’m currently a third-year English major at Thompson Rivers University. When I first arrived in Kamloops, I soon discovered how challenging it was to juggle both work and school life. The stress of balancing classes, assignments, and then long hours at work often left me feeling overwhelmed and discouraged—I even considered giving up. Thankfully, with the support of family and friends, I was able to regain focus and develop strategies that helped me manage my time and energy. This experience has inspired me to create a space where students who face problems like this can connect, share, and find encouragement. While connection is important, I believe it is also helpful to provide practical solutions. With this platform, I hope to share tips that worked for me, while also inviting others who have faced and overcome these challenges to share their own tips and guides.
