So that's a very tricky situation you are in if you are doing an internship while you are already starting at a college, because at one hand you have to manage your classes, your assignments, your projects and everything. At the other hand, you have to deliver on the projects that you're working on in an internship. So in this particular scenario, the best thing that you can do is manage your time and decide in your head before starting any day, how many hours you want to devote for what particular task today, time management is the key. And with this particular time management, you will have to be very clear with your mentor as well. That tomorrow I'll be available for this particular time or I'll be able to devote this five hours or six hours tomorrow in the evening or in the morning. That way you set clear expectations in your head and your mentor also have a clear expectations from you what you're going to deliver tomorrow
It becomes effortless to manage an internship with a full time college one you follow the proper steps:
1. Time management- Time management is more critical than ever in college. Being involved in extracurricular activities makes it necessary to plan your days. For example, if you’re planning on interning at a company, there is no need to worry about how long you will be working. Make sure you don’t let your work-life balance slip between school and internships.
2. Organize things- Life does not stop for students, and the only way you can make sure everything is taken care of is to create a to-do list. There are many ways of creating this list, but the best way is to write everything down on paper so that you don't forget anything. Other standard methods of organising your to-do list include using notebooks or even committing everything on a computer online.
3. Communication- To juggle each part of your life, you must effectively communicate your schedule and struggles. Communicate the challenges of interning with your boss and coworkers. Communicate what you hope to gain from the job using essential non-technical words and phrases they can understand.
