Well I'm back at university now after having been on work placement for a year. It's the final year so there's gonna be a lot of hard work and sleepless nights ahead of me. This will most likely mean less time that can be spent on NG, but I'll be trying to make an effort and at least visit the site for 30 minutes each day.

I'm currently in that same situation. My only suggestion to you is to make a sort of "shrine" where you can study and nobody can bother you, get some good headphones, and don't care if people think you're an asshole for not helping them. You come first.
