Part Time Study - Heaven or Hell?

                     Balancing part time studies, work and have a social life is no walk in the park.




Balancing Study and Work While maintaining fun in life can be overwhelming, the best and most enrapturing fraction of our
entire life is the teenage and early adulthood. everyone craves to make the most out of it but this time in your life is
also the time to decide what it is that you really want to be in life, what makes you satisfied, a time to think about your
future and where you would like to see yourself in a few years.

This is the time to make the most of your life and have fun but also you can not really be lax at your studies and expect
a solid platform is building up out of nothing. Whatever the profession you decide to take up as your life’s destiny, you must become
well-versed and expert at it. That itself entails the fact that you must pay enough attention to your studies in your
chosen field. Cause only knowledge and good standings in academic stations will bring laurels for you once you enter
into the planet of real jobs. This is why it is important for each of us to develop the ability to prioritise, but one thing
to clarify is that you actually don’t need to become a typical nerd or bookworm sort of a character,there is time for
everything,do enjoy and relax when the opportunity arises out of situations.

Working while trying to balance studies and a social life...tricky but possible, the best possible way to do this is
ORGANISE AND PRIORITISE!

Organise:
Make a 'time table' and 'follow it with the right amount of 'discipline'. Make a time-table keeping in mind that in it
there is time for work, study and socializing.I can assure you that doing this much is enough and soon the overwhelmingness
shall be gone and you will witness the balance that you so desperately/urgently seek.

Prioritise:
Successful prioritising is all about balancing that which is urgent and that which is important, Once you have done this
you will find that all of your work will fall into place.

Now, here comes the fruit of it: you see that all is coming naturally to you, without any incidental craziness. Study seems
a lot easier to you than to others. Because you already have built the basics that others have just started to
work out. Not only that, you’ll find extra time for other activities also, slowly you come to appreciate the fact that you are not having to burn up your late night cozy sleep.
