For those who have been through their 20s, how did you or what advice can you give to a 27 year old man trying to make something of his life

I've recently enrolled in college in the uk with the hopes of going to university next year to become an occupational therapist. My main priority is studying as I want to get a fast track in to year 2 at uni ( a good grade is needed). Sometimes I do feel that I'm always tired, I don't give my girlfriend enough attention or put in a massive amount of effort to the relationship cause half the time I'm stressed or focused on other things within my life.

I do find it hard to balance & admit this openly. I feel behind enough in life & now I do feel iam locked in so to speak for studying as I wish to pursue this career out of interest but more for a stable pay & career. I come from a broken home, brought up by a single mum so within myself I know the importance of having a half decent career & how much it can affect families if your not financially stable.

So again my question is, did you guys just focus on yourself?, did you manage to balance relationships / friendships life etc and still make it work with your career etc.

Any advice for balance, what a guy in his 20s should be focused on would be appreciated
