Manage Your Time, Accomplish Your Duties

Most students in college have to pay their own tuition and lives costs. Although some of them use financial aid to pay their expenses, there are many students who can’t take financial aids or loans from their colleges, and as a result, they have to work to survive their lives and educations.  Simultaneous duties like studying and working might be difficult to manage for a fresh student because they can’t balance these duties with other daily efforts like watching TV, going to parties, and other social activities. Consequently, managing these activities is a big problem for most students who have to work, study, and hold their social relations.

There are many reasons that working students can’t manage their all activities. The first one is that their job usually doesn’t have flexible schedule. For example when a student has to work 5 days a week from 8 A.M. to 5 P.M., obviously he or she can’t attend in morning or afternoon classes at college. The second reason is that sometimes they work far from their living places. Therefor they have to spend plenty of time in transportation path between their job locations and their homes. The next reason might be hardness of their work. For example, physical jobs like firefighting, driving, and cooking take lots of workers’ energy. Sometimes working students take many courses in a semester that might be hard even for a non-working student.  For instance, when a student has to work 8 hours per day, taking 6 hours classes in the same day is very boring.  Some other issues may cause unbalancing between studying, working and socializing like personal characteristics, family troubles, illness and unpredictable financial disasters. For example, some students are lazy, so they are not effective in their works and their colleges.

Unbalancing between working, studying, and socializing can affect all these issues. In other words, students who can’t manage their time for all these duties might have trouble in their jobs and at the same time might not be successful in their educations. They may lose a main part of their social networks too.  They usually are not energetic in their jobs. They may delay on going to the job. Being bored during working time increases the risk of laying off, in addition, it is dangerous due to physical injuries. Most working students can’t pass their courses successfully at the end of the semester. They can’t do their homework assignments on time and sometimes don’t attend in classes and can’t take quizzes and exams. They miss main part of final grade because of absence in weekly classes. Furthermore, their social relations would be affected due to miss planning.  If they can’t go to their friend’s parties more often, they will not invite them for further parties. They can’t arrange parties to invite their friends, too.

Although it is not easy to manage a limited time to do all duties in work, college and society, it is not impossible. Time management is one of the solutions for this problem. Students who have to work should schedule their daily, weekly, and monthly time. They should allocate enough time to their classes, studying at home or library, and socializing. They need to spend enough time to sleeping, too. They have to use their dead time to do some of their activities. For example, if they spend significant time in transporting, they can use this time to study their lessons or calling their friends. Working students should plan their parties monthly. They should avoid accepting every invitation while they have not enough time to study. Although they have an intense schedule, they need to allocate enough time to physical activities like swimming and playing soccer. It helps them be fresher in their job and also help them to improve their social activities. It never should be forgotten that being committed to implement the schedule is very important.

Summing up, there are many economic and personal reasons that make some students work to afford their lives and education’s costs. Unbalancing between working, studying, and socializing usually affects all these duties and causes disappointed results in their jobs, colleges and social relations. These students can solve this problem by time management. It means they should adequately allocate their time to all their duties and be committed to do their schedule.
