I have a son who will be getting his doctorate in Musical Arts next month. Since he started college, and complained about how busy he was, I have always responded," You are nearly as busy as you think you are, and you will be busier in a few more years. You either learn to handle it, and manage your time, or you die"
Last month the stress must have been getting to him, as he told his mother, " People who don't think I'm busy now are crazy" ( I think that was a reference to me)
But I was right, and I will remind him that he thought he was as busy as he could ever be at several points in his collge career, and he managed to be even busier, and he survived.
Part of college is learning time management skills, and learning to prioritize various committiments.

In all fairness to him, he really is busy. Last week he was offered a 5 or 6 week gig with an orchestra in Mexico. After he learned the details, he declinned as it actually would have cost him money out of his pocket to go. Since then he has picked up 7 new gigs with a New York brass group. Paying gigs are a good thing.
