Additional Tips

Although working and going to schools is challenging, it can be a rewarding experience if you use some foresight. These tips can help you handle the situation and make the most of your time:

·    Discuss your plans with your family: Balancing the demands of school and work is easier with their support.

·    Start Slowly; Don’t commit to working a lot of hours immediately

·    Use your time efficiently: You can use 10 minutes in a waiting line to go over a few pages of assigned reading. If your job has a lot of downtime and your boss has no objection, you can use slow periods to do slow work.

·    If you commute to your job on public transportation, bring your school work with you so you can work along the way.

·    Be flexible and willing to make sacrifices: You may have to cut down on some other things you’d like to do because of your school and work commitments.

·    If you have too much on your plate, admit it. Then cut back as needed.

·    Schedule relaxation time: Everyone needs some downtime to stay happy and healthy.

Spring Break

 

Spring Break

For my spring break, I was sick most of the time. I didn’t really leave the house much, only to go to the store. My parents went to Mexico to visit family and left me with my brother at home. We had a fun experience together but it was still boring. I also went to my brother’s, girlfriend’s, grandma’s house to play some Lottery. We started playing at 9 and ended up stopping at 3 a.m. It got really spooky when the lights started flickering and suddenly the lights turned off and something threw me a coat hanger. I was freaked out but it was a cool experience. If I could, I would do it all over again. Other than that, I just hung out at home and played some Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
