Anyone who has done both at the same time, has ran into the problem of balancing and losing at times. There are some good ways to keep up on things so you don't end up losing your mind. Even if you are just taking one class, you need to listen up and pay attention to the tips ahead!
Make sure that you are organizing and scheduling out your time. There is no bigger waste of time than when you have no clear plan ahead and you just bull rush into things. If you find yourself doing this often, you may find that nothing ever gets completely done and that you end up rushing every day.
If things go well, you can even plan a casual movie night. Once this person is your friend, you'll feel a lot better about asking for their help, admitting you don't understand something, or crying/screaming in frustration over assignments that did not go well. Deep down, your friends won't ever think you are stupid, and if your tutor is your friend, you have nothing to worry about.
Too many people bring school to work. Even the school mindset can be detrimental to your work. Make sure that if you have stresses that you leave them at the door! There is no room for them in the office or workplace. Remember that it is all about the time you put in and if you aren't all there in the time that you are supposed to be "there", then you need to reevaluate things.

Even if the ice-cream runs out, your tutor will be there for you.
When it is all said and done, both school and work are important and you may need to make sacrifices. While sacrifices may be tough, they are even tougher when they aren't necessary. Make sure that you are using everything available to you, especially time.
If you aren't then you will find out quickly that all of your sacrifices don't avail too much. When you get things together and finally graduate from Fort Collins College, you will realize that it wasn't just what you learned in school that matters, but the principals you learned at work as well.
