Good article...but I think a point is not made that needs to be stressed to some of these students....Life is not necessarily balanced at any one time...some times you have to focus and work through it for 4 or 5 years at a stretch...getting through school with little or no time with the homies will pay the price later when you can hang with cash in yourpocket and a job you can be proud of.

It's not important to have time to hang out with your friends if you are not finished with the business of survival....aka getting educated to the point where you can function in the world.

makes me sad to see comments like

"I'm muddling through," he said, in an interview during the semester. "Honestly, I still want to do what I can to chill and hang out. I'm trying to figure out how to balance my life."

where the guy is missing classes to have fun and "balance" his life......
