Canadian-Indian woman shares struggle story of work-life balance: ‘I'm stuck in a loop’

An Indian student living in Canada has shared a candid glimpse of her daily routine, describing how she is caught between classes, work shifts and the constant pressure of managing her expenses abroad. The video was shared on Instagram and has since gone viral.

Jyoti Kharayat posted a video on Instagram showing her day-to-day life, where she moves directly from her classes to her job at Starbucks. The clip captures her returning from school and heading straight into her work shift.

She explained the financial pressure she faces as an international student, saying she is stuck in a cycle where she studies to secure a future but must work to pay her fees and living costs at the same time.

She said she comes back from school and goes to work, and after a short break, she returns to school again, followed by another shift at work. She described it as a continuous loop but added that she still feels happy despite the challenges.
