Before I share my thoughts about the possible ways by which you could effectively combine your work and schooling, I would just like to first consider your current situation and share my insights on it. To be honest, I feel that if you don't really need to work, you must stop it for a while, and fully focus on your studies instead, since carefully considering your current predicament, it seems as if you're having quite a hard time juggling both. Simply put, I think that it's a question of priority. If you intend to finish your studies and graduate with flying colors, and your work is getting in the way of your studies, then I suggest that you drop your work first. If, on the other hand, there's really a compelling reason for you to work and your studies truly hinder you from working well, considering the rigors of your academics, and the stress it brings, then it may be beneficial for you to stop studying in the meantime. Now, if you really do not have an "either or" choice, since it should exactly be both, I suggest that you manage your time well to be very productive, and perhaps minimize the stress that you get out of work and school. If you'll be able to successfully utilize your time, then you perhaps do not have to worry so much anymore about simple things such as passing your assignment or coming to work on time, perhaps. I could attest to the benefits you could get out of effective time management because I've had classmates who were able to easily juggle school and work essentially as a result of their good time management skills. Apart from productively using your time, though, I feel that engaging in relaxing and stress-relieving activities every once in a while, if not more frequently, like yoga, meditation, spa, or any activity that would really greatly reduce your stress, and you genuinely find enjoyment doing would certainly help you in coping with the seemingly daunting demands of work and school. I also think that consulting your friends, classmates, contemporaries, or any person you know, who were able to successfully combine or juggle their work and studies, would perhaps immensely help you in effectively dealing with the challenge you are currently faced with, since they would surely be able to give you highly relevant and helpful tips that you could use to hopefully solve your present predicament. Ultimately, I feel that in any decision you make, bear in mind that you only have one life to live, and it's to precious to waste on things that you don't really want to do or do not even make you happy. I truly hope that my insights could be of help in somehow replacing your temporary feeling of sadness with a glimmer of hope and, eventually, a happy sigh of relief.
