Youre right about my goal. I might be happy at 180 but I always aim a bit high at everything lol. But im focusing on getting my calorie intake down now. And then building lifting and recovering when I don't have this hard school semester anymore.

However, it seems you have a lot of goals and many of them are in direct conflict.
SQUATS AND MILK will put on the weight and muscle. Adds a good number of calories in a growth promoting manner. You can add calories in other ways, this is just the fastest (wallclock, and maybe calendar), cheapest, most widely available.
You have to have a calorie surplus to gain weight.
You have to sleep to grow muscle (well to be healthy).
You have to eat.
Basically, something's gotta give.
Perhaps the first thing to do is clarify your goals, match with what you're willing to do, match with your resources and cull your goals to what you can achieve... Trying to do everything, means you might not accomplish anything.
