Commuters! Any advice?

How do you guys stay organized / on top of everything while commuting? I lived on campus the last 2 years but now I transferred and will be driving 20-25 minutes to school.

So far my only class days are Tuesday and Friday and I would be in class from 9-1045; 11-12:15 and 3:30 to 4:45

Im debating taking another TF class to minimize my driving (it seems a lot of commuters on here take trains and are able to study)

I do have a job and on top of the job I will be doing weekly 4 hour observations. I plan to spend my free time throughout the day at the library but I also want to make friends- being a junior and a commuter worries me.

So does anyone have any tips?

Btw I only have 3 of 5 classes so far. I’ll be taking 4 education/educational theory classes and a history class.

No train here lol; even if there were it’d cost more. I know the commute itself so t be productive ( my language was waived before starting school) I’m more worried with on campus and then just balancing everything out while trying to be social. I know it sounds silly lol
