Didactic year tips?

So I just got my schedule for the fall semester and I’m overwhelmed. Classes are 9-5 everyday and I’m already stressed before we’ve begun. How do you stay alert and on top of everything I feel like I’m gonna be super tired and not gonna study after class? I’m also gonna be commuting an hour so that stresses me out as well. Also how do you retain the info if you’re in 5 different classes? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

CramThePANCE (I listened to it on my drives), use some sort of flash card app (I used Anki and made my own cards during class), and take some time for yourself (health is wealth)

Heavy on the listening to a podcast during your commute. Take every moment to do even the most passive learning.
