I devote Saturday's for my boyfriend and me with no school or school projects. This includes staying off the schools website and email. On Saturday I am no longer a nursing student, just a 30 year old woman who wants to have some fun. It's the break from school that I need to recharge and keeps us together. Thankfully he is in school and works full time so he can understand my schedule and the need for me to "disappear" during the week.
I just do....it's a priority...you cannot study 24/7-that is burn out waiting to happen...
For example: Saturday I'll be watching the Bronco game with my loved one...so I can unwind and give my brain a break. :)
At least one day a week or a half a day is devoted to loved ones....it's keeps everyone sane.
Between school and work, it gets pretty crazy trying to find time for my friends/family/boyfriend. But I try to schedule them in whenever I have some free time (as horrible as that sounds LOL). I'm on break from school right now so I have another 10 days to relax before I'm back on my grind!

With so much time spent on studying how do you find time for you boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife, and/or kids? I'm sure many relationships have gone down hill. How do you keep things positive in your relationship?
