Swing trading during college

I'm a current college student (will be a sophomore this year), who enjoys swing trading. Over the last month and a half, I worked at night and was therefore able to monitor the market from opening to closing. Eventually, I was able to grow my account from around 1.5k to now close to 8.5k.

As I head back to school, I want to continue trading. It's definitely something I enjoy and something that I've improved at especially in the last few weeks. I wanted any advice from monkeys who actively traded while in college as to how you managed going to class during the day (obviously don't plan on attending all classes) while also trading.

Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Don't skip your classes, dumbest thing to do.
