suicide? appreciating the good moments of the day without thinking about the wider hell you're in, somehow?

I work 35 hours a week, and I go to university for around 25. Last year I had 7 day weeks all year and it was very much not fun.
I could do it if I had to for a bit, but the whole 'being too exhausted to exist' thing gets old fast.
I did that at 20. I had three part-time (ohai Calgary) jobs at one point, trying to perpetuate this schooling habit.
So tired. At 20 I was failing to exist. I can't imagine that now.
Cow town has no chill. I'm tempted to take on another job, but right now I only have one day completely off and it's just. Not. Enough. Time.
Like, I have to decide each week how much cleaning gets done or if I'm making food that week. There isn't enough time to do cleaning and shopping, and I'm busy most days 10am-1am between work and school, assuming I sleep 7 hours a night.
I had a bad schedule for my jobs and, for 2 weeks, I had no sleep on Saturday night. I only had like 4 hours between closing one and opening another shop, and the buses near Anderson were scarce at that time; so it was get home, shower, re-dress, get back out. Yeesh.
Back then it was 2 hour minimum scheduled shift for $5/h min and I hope to hell it's better now. Tips and a longer shift or GTFO.
Either way, it's no life.
