squeeze into

Force oneself through

To squeeze into something is to fit tightly or with difficulty—usually clothing or a space that's barely adequate: I can still squeeze into my jeans from high school, We squeezed into the back of the elevator.

The phrase suggests compression, effort, or mild discomfort.

It can also describe fitting something into a schedule: I can squeeze you into my calendar at 3.
