#5 My biggest temporary obstacle

I created my video release schedule with my summer semester's classes in mind. I know taking five classes over the summer is no small task, but I hoped that I would still be able to set aside a few hours each week to record my videos, engage with the gaming communities, create unique thumbnails, and upload my videos. Once I saw the work being required by some of my classes, I was definitely worried that it may interfere with my videos. School is my top priority and will remain that way, but it is very unfortunate to see a chance that my YouTube channel could suffer because of it. As it stands, I have four group projects that will require massive amounts of time and work put into them in order to get a desirable grade. Past the group projects, there is no shortage of homework, other small assignments, quizzes, essays, and exams. One of my classes, Applications Development, requires copious amounts of codes and programs to be written each week, with deadlines every other day. That is my most daunting class on my calendar, but each class requires its fair amount of work. Before classes got into the full swing, I tried to record 4-5 videos ahead of their release so that I would have time to adjust to the new schedule. Although I had planned to have easy weekday uploads to allow for school, I had not anticipated how much work might be required during the weekends. While my normal weekday uploads for my Binding of Isaac series are easy, my variety uploads require much more work. Because of this, I am worried I won't be able to stay on top of my release schedule, especially as the deadlines for all of the group projects get nearer. My girlfriend had expressed interest in helping me edit my videos which would relieve me of a lot of the stress of trying to enhance my videos before their release. The only issue is that she would need to use my computer for editing. So that means anytime she is editing, I can't work on school unless I am watching a lecture from my phone. The other issue is that because she is learning, I need to help teach her or troubleshoot for her when issues arise, which takes away some focus from my classes. However, once she learns how to work with Premiere Pro and get used to the normal issues that arise, she could be a huge help in saving me time and helping to grow my channel further.
