an MSW student with FOMO

Vents

kinda what the title states.. i’m am MSW student currently in my generalist practicum. So far i love my practicum, and the population i work with, but man I can’t help feel like i’m missing out. For context, I have practicum Mondays & Tuesdays and I do a full 8 hours at both days, and then I work my full time job Wednesday through Sunday. Literally no days off. I don’t have family support so i fully have to rely on myself for income and necessities, so i don’t want to just change jobs. I guess I’m just frustrated that I don’t have time to go out and have fun, and i see a lot of my friends and relatives doing fun things and going out. When I think about it more, I realize I have another year and half before I am done with my program and it frustrates me more lol. Do any other students deal with this? and those who have since finished, how did you stay motivated? 🥲
