Using your Time wisely

             Using time wisely is the key for many things. Like, College, homework, part-time job, etc. Time goes on and goes on for the rest of our lives. It's the matter of how we use it that counts. Everybody does different things with the time that we have. Whether it's after school, before school, during school, after work, after waking up, etc. If you know how to use your time wisely, then you control just about everything that goes around your life. 

             For example, after-school, I have hours and hours to do anything I want. But what do I do in those hours? How much time am I going to spend on homework and do my part-time job? I have to plan how I'm going to use my time wisely. Lately, I've been managing my time really badly. I sometimes go a few more hours than expected from my homework. I usually finish all of my homework in around 2-3 hours but it takes me around 3-4 hours now. Now what I'm planning is I should "use my time wisely" by taking breaks within homework sessions to do whatever I want. It might benefit my head better and shorten the time I need to think through a math problem and lower the time that I spend on homework each night. 

            College is great example for supporting the phrase " Use your time wisely." College students have to spend numerous amounts of hours outside of class to study the material and do the homework. They have to learn what they are going to do every night and plan it out wisely. For example: if they have a reading assignment like reading 100 pages a week. Most likely they won't read all 100 pages within a night. They will manage their time and read, say 20 pages for every 5 nights. That's using the time given to you to do the homework wisely. 

            Time is everything. If you want to treasure the time that you have, then you might as well use it wisely, and the way you want to. I know that some of you may have plenty of time to do whatever you want, but you can use it wisely to set a schedule for homework, friends and so on. In the amount of time that your bored and have nothing to do, you can allocate that time for extra studying or so on. Don't forget to add a few breaks every now and then too because those are just as important as the study time. Find a way to use your time wisely, so it's memorable and so that it just won't be another day of your life.

More than one way

              There's usually more than one way to approach something.  More than one way to live. But when there's more than one way for everything, there's always a "correct" way. From my point of view, it seems like there is a correct way to live. Even though everyone have their own way of living, it feels like society explains life in a different manner than it once did. You go to school everyday, learn, respect your teachers, go home, do homework and have fun with your hobbies. Then go to sleep and start the next day over. We then graduate, go to college, get a career and have a family for as long as we live. That's pretty much the general life without the specifics right? 

             There's more than one way to live your life though. Even if your friends and family tell you that you should go to school and get a career, should you? A "normal" life is what most common people look for and strive to do. Some people have more luck than others, while others have much less. There's always a different way to live your life. Try to be different, you don't always have to agree to what other people say to you, if you want to then that's your choice. I'm not saying that you should not go to school, I'm just saying that there's more than one way you can choose. The most important thing is to know that your not strapped down to only one option.

            When there is a different way to do something, people will go for it. Some of us love to stand out and try something different than the "correct/fundemental/best" way to do it. It's those kinds of people who do their best to stand out of the group that makes the entire world so unique. America is the one of the better examples. We don't have just have one race here, we have every race. Each and everyone of us are different from each other and that's why we are strong. We respect each other and help each other. I'm not saying that other countries aren't as strong or united as us. Sometimes the same race all in a country is a wonderful thing. I never been in a single race country so I wouldn't know. That's why I'm only talking about the country I was born in, America.

         All in all, my point is that there's more than way to do everything. Being "normal" is good, but being an individual is also good.
