... Read moreReturning to class after a break, especially as a busy single mom, can feel like a daunting restart. Many of us experience that moment of 'Here we go again'—balancing coursework with parenting and personal time. Finding motivation is key, and one way I keep my spirits up is by planning my outfits (#ootd) for the week ahead. It helps me feel confident and ready to tackle the day. Managing coursework after spring break requires solid time management. I’ve found it helpful to create a weekly schedule that includes study sessions during your child’s nap or school time. Online resources and study groups can provide support and flexibility when juggling your responsibilities. Remember, you're not alone in this journey. Many #collegestudent single moms share similar experiences of determination mixed with moments of exhaustion. Connecting with others through forums and social media can offer encouragement and tips useful in managing both school and motherhood.
