    1. Don't take on more than you can handle
    2. Give yourself plenty of study time

    I read as much as I can when I have breaks - and schedule posts! It makes it so much easier to schedule some to go up in advance, especially during busy times of the year like exams.

    Nope since I'm starting uni then too! I have no idea how I will handle it. I'm sure we'll be fine. :P

    I have been planning to hold back a few reviews and scheduling them to post in August/September so I won't have to worry about the blog for the first few months!

    The most important thing to keep in mind is school is always a priority. So if ever things get hectic, get a break from blogging once in a while. It'll really keep the blogging burn-out away. Next is to try to lessen the ARC requests and such so that you'll not get buried on your to-do lists. In your free time, try to schedule posts and read books for review. Just try keeping up but don't push yourself too hard. I learned this the hard way. :)

    Don't stop reading. You'll probably slow down, but don't stop completely. You'd be surprised how many college students USED to be readers. Also, don't make blogging a chore. If you start to think things like "Ugh. I have to find time to blog today" then you'll burn yourself out.

    Im in university no, so i can tell you its not easy but it is doable. The main thing is to be scheduled properly. that way if you fall behind in reading you already have stuff going out that week. I also find its helpful to write your reviews as soon as you finish reading because lots of stuff goes on at school especially on big campuses. Lastly when you need a break, for finals or big test or whatever, be sure to take the time you need. Your followers wont mind and school comes first
