Balancing Work and Life

The other day I went to a lecture here on campus about leadership and success, you know, those things.
 Anyway, he said something that really resonated with me: the concept of balancing one's life. it's not easy. You can never give the same amount of attention to every aspect in your life. 
Recently I've been thinking about myself, evaluating my life and such. I'm kinda lame, I admit. Can't say anything exciting is going on with me. I  feel I have to prioritize to get through. This causes me to miss or lose somethings along the way. Like friends, family, exercise, fun. This year has totally ruined any chance of balance for me. At least for the time being. I have so much school work, responsibilities, and errands that I hardly have time for other normal college stuff. I suppose I could make time for socializing, but by nature I am inclined to prioritize only 3 things. School, Myself (those alternate every now and then) and my Boyfriend.
It's frustrating because I wish i had time for it all. The other day I stayed up late chatting with my roommates which caused me to lose sleep, wake up like crap in the morning, and rush to finish my homework during the day. Can't have your cake and it eat too, it seems. Which is what leads me into wanting my own apartment so that i can do all my schoolwork sans interruptions. But that would mean no friends, no talking. just me by myself. (not gonna lie, its really not that bad, im introverted) but its not healthy, and its not what college should be like. Am i the only one? I find no time to do anything but sleep, study and eat. Except for when we obsessively watched Arrested Development that one week, but sacrifices WERE made, trust me. Less sleep and neglected reading assignments.

This whole little ramble is really my way of explaining to you, dear blog, why no posts have been made, especially not  interesting ones, and why that may not change for a while...

Thanks.
