How I did it: Studying, sacrifice, and stubbornness.
Know that it will one day be over.
I had it 'easy'-single, no kids, but I don't drive and I work night shift.

Lessons & tips: Try to stay organized. Make sure you make time for yourself. It's hard to go from a straight A student to an A/B student, but when it comes down to it, you need to give yourself some personal time. How can you take care of others if you're not taking care of yourself? You can't, not in the long run. You'll burn out. It got to the point for me where I'd rather get a B in a class and have a good nights sleep than stay up to study and get an A.
Also, remember that just because you get a B (or C) in a class doesn't mean you don't fully understand the concepts being taught.

Resources: Um...Google is great when your textbooks/teachers just aren't explaining something in a way you can understand. Other people were really big on study groups, but I like to study on my own.
