Just prioritize. Right now, your highest priority needs to be your studies. Unless you're supporting yourself, in which case your highest priority needs to be making ends meet (with studies as 2nd highest).

I'm currently living with my parents right now which I'm honestly grateful for. I'm just working part time to pay off debts / pay for my own necessities, while studying.

I'm not sure if you have considered this, but you can also apply for app developer roles and keep game making on the side as part of jams. App teams may be more able to sustain junior roles and you can then learning programming on the job.
I have considered to become an app developer as work but most of the jobs involve languages / knowledge that I don't already possess, so I would need to take more time learning those to even get accepted into those jobs. Right now I'm just focusing on honing my math skills / working on Unity games with small scopes and just as Tom said, I would like to prioritize my studies before anything else. I know a lot of ppl that get pressured into working full time jobs that they don't like to make ends meet
