How to Balance Summer Fun with Internships or Part-Time Work ☀️

Summer sounds like freedom — sunny days, spontaneous trips, and long evenings with friends. But if you’re juggling an internship or part-time job, it can feel more like a puzzle: how do you fit everything in without missing out?

The trick isn’t doing everything — it’s doing what matters. Start by being honest about what you want from the summer. Whether it’s saving money, gaining experience, or just making time for yourself, knowing your priorities makes the choices easier.

A loose routine helps. Block your work or internship hours first, then slot in plans around it — even if it’s something small like a walk, a picnic, or catching a sunset. Not every summer moment has to be huge to be meaningful.

Say yes to the things that energize you, and don’t feel guilty about saying no when you need rest. Internships and jobs are important, but so is your well-being. Learn, show up, do your best — and then unplug when the day ends.

You’ve got student perks too — discounted travel, free events, and more with your ISIC card. Use them to make the most of your free time without spending too much.

In the end, summer isn’t just about working or relaxing — it’s about finding a rhythm that lets you enjoy both. And you’re allowed to do it your way.
