This is a great question! Honestly, my first semester was finding the right balance between school and relaxing. It's something that I still struggle with because I often feel guilty about going out and having fun, feeling like I should be studying or doing something productive. It's important however to take time to yourself. Go out, have fun! I enjoy taking my dogs for long walks after class, going out and getting food with friends on the weekends! It's important to take some time off and decompress! PT school is long and hard so it's important to be able to figure out a method that allows you to decompress and have fun! It will definitely take some time to figure things out, but if theres a will, theres a way!
