What she may well find is that she’ll be able to do all this during the first week(s) of classes without it being as much as a stress as she’s viewing it now. Usually, there is not a huge work load in the first few days, and kids find time to finish fixing up the room, meet friends, go over books, etc.

My S, on the same schedule as Calmom’s D, is choosing to come in Sunday for a Tuesday start. He’s pretty laidback on scheduling (maybe a little too laidback), but his more stressy sister also usually went with one day off before classes. It was good for her to become more flexible. I think as they move on in their college careers, they learn to work with the time constraints more easily.
