How to manage time?

Read a book called Getting Things Done by David Allen (its on audiobook as well). If you implement that stuff, it will completely change your life. It's an actual system for managing the tasks in your life, not some motivational shit. Very valuable.

I feel like I'm constantly in a hurry, and don't even have a minute to let my mind unwind.

out of everything you said this seems the most important to me. if you can decompress on a family basis, everything will seem to slow down and be easier. you have the perfect opportunity to unwind every time you lift. lifting should be your meditation. wear headphones and listen to some music that draws you in and let's you focus on it. everything else should fade away. don't focus on lifting, you're a man, lifting should be a subconscious act. I'm not saying to sacrifice technique and injure yourself, just that you should clear your mind. if you don't feel pumped and relaxed at the end of your workout, you are missing a valuable resource for your life.

As well as scheduling, efficiency is your most important tool. Allocating study time I find is futile for myself, as my focus isn't confined to set times. Instead, I'll often bring the books that I would need to study along with me at all times - this also compounds into actually thinking about it more and often studying while I'm in transit somewhere.

Obviously works best if you're taking public transport, but the same deal applies. Sometimes, you can just be trying to do too much - and have to make that hard decision to give something up.

1) calendar programs / notes on paper in your pocket

2) calender/alarms in your phone, every new phone has this

3) practice making things go away/ never enter your priorities that should not

4) overlapping / multi-tasking: try making things happen at the same time if they are in the same place. Anything which requires starting then waiting is time you can use to start something else. I do this at work and at home and it saves a ton of time

I'm still a student at university. I don't work besides uni, but some of my classmates do, and I can't even imagine how they do it. And they seem to have plenty of time to socialize besides going to classes & working.

They are faster, smarter or failing. It's that simple. I knew a girl who worked 3 jobs and passed all her courses at university. Some can do it, most can not. I couldn't have worked while doing university. This is a warning sign: I should have worked and not gone to university at all. I would be richer today if I had done this.
