Whether you’re new to college life or coming to the end of your studies, you have no doubt experienced the quintessential college conundrum: how can you fit both partying and studying into 24 hours? We’ve got you covered. Here are our top tips for how to balance partying and studying.

How to Balance Partying and Studying

It might sound dull, but college really is about learning how to strike a balance. Chances are, you’re in a new city or town with lots of exciting things to see or do. Sunny, beautiful days are especially challenging to say no, but learning to say no is the most effective way at managing your time.

Most students find themselves with a ton of new responsibilities, including:

Studying
Exercise (If exercise is your thing)
Partying
Sleep
Work

With only so many hours in a day, striking a balance between your responsibilities and your leisure time will help you have a fun and successful time in college. There isn’t a single formula. Experiment and see what works best for you! Which brings us to…

Know Your Habits

The only person who really knows what you’re capable of doing is yourself. You know your own habits, stamina, and how much time you need to study better than anyone else.

By knowing your own tendencies, you can better plan for when you need to study on a night out.

Keep a Calendar

Calendars have kept people on schedule for centuries. That hasn’t changed! Nowadays, phones and even watches have calendars so you always know what’s on your radar.

By keeping your social events organized alongside your assignment and exam dates, you can easily see whether there’s a schedule conflict. You can also gauge how much time you have to study between assignments.

Study Efficiently

There are hundreds of different recommendations on how you can study more efficiently. Fortunately, only one or two will work for you. If you aren’t sure what method works best for you, don’t be afraid to experiment with different styles!

Using your time efficiently frees you up for fun things like going out and spending time with friends.

Set up a Reward System

You’ve probably heard this advice before, but that’s because it works! Working towards the end of a homework assignment can provide a small amount of satisfaction. But working towards a fun coffee date with your friend? Now that’s something to really look forward to!

Everyone’s ideal reward is different. Some people like desserts; some like a good video game session; others like playing sports. Find what motivates you to get to the end of that assignment and use it to your advantage!

Prioritize Your Studies

You knew this advice was coming, but it’s not all bad! There are going to be dozens of opportunities to hit up the local bar or catch up with friends. On the other hand, there’s only going to be one opportunity to ace your calculus exam. So, get out there, rock that exam, then reward yourself by making up for your missed event!

Abe booked my last two birthdays efficiently and on budget. Reached out to me mid-week this week as I was scrambling for a Saturday reservation, and handled everything within a couple of hours. Great communication, access to best bars, and follow-ups. I highly recommend this service (signed up for yelp to do so) and look forward to booking my next party, hopefully sooner than a year from now.

Birthday Bottle Service is amazing! I found them online and it did sound too good to be true but the ratings were excellent. Abe and Cristina were very quick to respond to my email request and very accommodating. I was doing a joint birthday party with a friend and we ended up selecting the Gansevoort Park Avenue with the buy one get one free deal. Once we got there, we only had to wait for several minutes before our party was escorted to our area of the bar. We ended up having more people than intended show up (about 22 showed up when we planned on 15) but no one had a problem at all getting in when using our names at the door, even the people who arrived late. The venue itself is great! It has a bunch rooms with different music styles as well as an outdoor pool area. Overall, this is a great service and I will definitely be using this again! Thanks Abe and Cristina!

Birthday Bottle Service was a success! I wanted to plan a special birthday celebration for my boyfriend. I simply Googled "birthdays in NYC" and Birthday Bottle Service came right up. I contacted them and Christina responded within minutes. I was able to choose my venue from an extensive list. We chose Gansevoort. As the guest list grew, we asked Christina for 2 tables next to each other at the Gansevoort. Both had the buy 1 + get 1 free bottle special. Christina and Abe confirmed our party the day of and even provided us with a Customer Service number - God forbid anything went wrong the night of the party. Luckily we did not need to use it! We arrived in the VIP line and was seated right away. In fact they moved a party, cleaned up the tables, so they could accommodate us all with 2 adjoining tables within minutes. 4 bottles came out right away and our waitress was great and helpful when we requested different mixers. Everyone had a wonderful time! I will definitely contact Christina and Abe again for another event. I'm excited to try different venues with the help of their amazing party planning!!

I made the mistake of asking my husband what he wanted to do for his birthday. I expected him to say he wanted to go for a nice dinner but instead he busted out "I wanna get a table somewhere and pay for all my friends to drink." Well shit! (only kidding!) We don't go to many clubs these days so I didn't know where we should go and I really didn't want to pay for 10 other people to get drunk. Thanks to to my mastery of the google machine I typed in "NYC birthday" and Birthday Bottle Service popped right up! I clicked on their website and was immediately awestruck- FREE BOTTLES- what?!? This can't be true. Nothing in NYC is free, ESPECIALLY alcohol. I emailed them and quickly got a response from Abe & Cristina. They set up my party at the Gansevoort and reconfirmed the day of. My table was waiting for me when we got there and I really did get 2 bottles of booze for the price of one bottle of booze (+ $50 tip for the free bottle) My husband got to celebrate and spoil all his friends and we looked like ballers, so it was a win-win-win. I highly recommend booking a party through Birthday Bottle Service and I will heed my own advice and use them again.

I received confirmation in a timely manner. It was the easiest party planning that I have gone through. Thanks again birthday bottle service. I will definitely use them again and recommend them to my friends.
