Depends on what school you're at.

What is your position on Law Review? If you are just a staff member than the workload, at least at my school, was pretty light. Every so often you get an article to proof, but generally it isn't too bad. The more senior people seem to have a lot more work. I think Moot Court is the bigger time suck, but I don't have first hand experience.

Do this. Tuition waiver. You'll wish you had later I bet.

Drop something, or you'll loose even more quality of life.

I'd try to do it all, but I'm also a self-destructive workaholic. That should tell you everything you need to know.

I know your part-time job is "on the side," but it does violate ABA regulations (if full time, work no more than 20 hrs/week). The way I see it, to keep sane you need to remove something from your plate anyway. What you remove depends on your temperament and your goals. I'd pick EITHER law review or moot court, keep the two gra positions, and forget the 10hr/wk job...but I'm not you and it's a decision you need to make for yourself.
