Overwhelmed and balancing
Several students used the terms “overwhelmed”, “juggling”, and “balancing” to describe how they felt in the face of multiple demands. These were challenging experiences with strong affective responses as students struggled to meet personal and program obligations.
The coursework is overwhelming. It is really hard to balance life with school when you are taking 5 courses & clinicals take up so much of your time. I find myself stressed & irritable. It is beginning to affect those around me & I don’t like being like that. (Year 2 student)
Being a mom, working part – time, trying to keep healthy and keep up with housework and appointments __ life has become overwhelming and I am only in three courses. Almost daily I question myself, whether this was a good decision. Many days I don’t see my child at all, or just for an hour. (Year 3 student)
Participants in fourth year wrote about the challenges with balancing school with a personal life, however, use of the term “overwhelmed” was not present among their written comments.
