Life So Far

College can be an entire learning experience in itself, not only do you learn loads of new information, you learn life skills as well. Trying to balance school and work can be frustrating but it is all about time management. You don't always have the option of having the perfect schedule so you have to figure out ways to work around it, so you can maintain decent grades and be able to have a social life or an income. This could mean, depending on the person, late nights or early mornings filled with studying, writing that paper you completely forgot about, and perhaps catching up on your overloaded DVR. A college student has to gain the skill of multitasking, whether this means eating while studying or squeezing in that hour on the treadmill while attempting to read a chapter or two. Studying and work may be important but maintaining a social life will help keep you in good spirits. Forming study groups with a few close friends between classes, or just catching up over lunch, gives a nice break to a stressful day. Making the time to hangout and relax over the weekend is just as important as studying for an exam, sometimes you just need to vent and try not to worry about keeping up with all that is going on. Attempting to find a balance between school, work, and a social life is vital to any college student. 

Twitter Rants

Throughout the day my twitter feed is consistently filled with the constant thoughts of, friends, celebrities, and people that I felt required to follow back once they followed me. The last thing I went on a slight rant was about shoplifters at Crazy 8, the children's clothing store that I work at in the mall. My tweet was "There are so many shoplifters here, like how do you remotely feel comfortable dressing your children in stolen clothing??" Almost daily we get at least three or four shoplifters who come in the back and tear everything apart trying to take an array of typically baby clothing. The point of my tweet was to address the emotional aspect of stealing and not feeling any remorse about it. I know that I could not feel right putting my child into something that I had stolen. I should have expressed my point more, but getting a rant in less than 140 characters is a little difficult and considering I was in the break room when I shouldn't have been I couldn't tweet more!
