Balancing College Life and Work
Isabella Raia

Balancing College Life and Work is a photography project that looks at how college students manage their busy lives. It has both candid and posed photos that show the challenges and successes they face while juggling school, jobs, and personal time. The images capture moments of stress, hard work, and small victories like studying late after a long shift, finding a brief moment to relax, or feeling exhausted from too many commitments. By sharing different student experiences, the project aims to raise awareness about well being and the challenges of student life today. This project focuses on college students from different backgrounds, each trying to balance their responsibilities in their own way. Some students work multiple jobs to pay for their tuition, while others try to take care of their mental health despite busy schedules. Some are working hard to find a balance between their social lives and their jobs. Using photography, we tell their stories, showing their strength, the challenges of burnout, and the little moments they experience along the way.
