When I was school, I was a music major--all of you other music majors can appreciate what a huge time commitment that in itself requires. Most music majors don't bother with a GLO because they simply don't have the time.
I made it work, along with a couple of other organizations, and also got into Order of Omega and Mortarboard along the way.
Now that it's been 9 years since I graduated, things haven't changed much.
I run a private lesson studio. I teach college part-time. I direct the adult contemporary and the youth choir at my church. I free-lance as a musician in the area. I am the president of the Home and School organization at my son's school. I am an international volunteer for AOII. And, I just agreed to be faculty adviser for another NPC organization that is colonizing on the campus where I teach.
Did I mention that I'm pregnant with my third child?
The most important thing I learned in college was time management. Dayplanners are important. It's also important to set aside time for just "checking up" on things every day. I think everyone has to find what works for them, but the bottom line is that you make time for things that are important to you.
