Do you remember when you were younger and, besides going to school, had all of the free time in the world? You could stay out until the street lights came on, or, if you were older, you could spend nights...even days at a friend's home without worrying about children or cleaning/cooking. Do you remember when you would wish that you were an adult so that you could do the things your parents were doing - like drinking?

Do you remember the first time you wished you were young again or that you had fewer responsibilities and could pretty much be carefree? I know I do. I would have to say that the first time I wished I was younger was when I moved out on my own, with my own family, and finally worried about if we were going to be able to pay all of our bills after paying rent for the month.

As it stands for many of us, there are probably not many days that go by where we do not wish this. Many of us are mastering the juggling act. What I mean by this is, many of us are probably going to school full-time (college or high school), working one or more jobs (full-time or part-time), parents, and in-home maids. I, personally, am a mother a two beautiful children ages four and one, a wife, a full-time college student, a Content Creator and Social Media Direction for SNHU's Odyssey, and I work part-time.

With all of that going on, I find it hard to have any kind of social life. Do any of you have this issue as well? If I am not at work, I am at home cleaning, cooking, doing homework, and taking care of my family. If I am not doing any of those things, I am at work.

Who else is struggling to balance things out? I know that I am and, if I am being honest, it really sucks. Many of you will say, that is being an adult for you. Well, of course, it is; I know that I accept this. That does not make it suck any less or reduce any amount of stress that it may cause.

Is there any kind of happy medium to which I can squeeze in some form of a social life? Maybe bowling on the weekend (or every other). Or planning a weekly, biweekly or monthly date night (or double date).

As someone who is slowly figuring out how to balance everything with the least stress possible. Just remember to keep your head up and to never give up. It is stressful...very stressful, but we can get through it and figure it all out. We will figure out our perfect schedules (to us). If you put your head down, you are going to drown and it is going to be hard to swim back up.
