Time management is the biggest, most useful chore. So use a planner to organize your time and "Get up early and go to bed late."

Norman, Okla., senior, with her son, James
Makes ends meet by:working in the Kansas African Studies Center.
Support: "In one way I'm a single parent and in another way I'm not because of my roommate. In our household we constitute a family. She's a single mom with teenagers. So the five of us, we're a good family. We help each other. I help her daughters, she helps my son. We lean on each other for emotional support. We're like sisters. I couldn't have come back to school without her."
Advice for student parents:
"You need to have the mindset that everything is going to be temporary for a while. From money to the fits the kids throw, every thing will just pass and eventually you're going to keep plugging along and you're going to get there."
