Be happy.
Whether college is calling you, or you are making your place in the workplace, remember this. Too many people focus on their college or their career so intently that they forget to be happy on the way.
That does not mean that there won’t be times when you work unceasingly to get something done on time, but it does mean that at least you realize you sacrificed something to do that, something that you want to get back.
You will have friends and/or roommates who take it too far the other way and party all the time. As tempting as it is, this way is as damaging as working all the time is.
Strive for balance. If you are a workaholic, schedule your “down time” along with your work time and then stick to it. If you are a “last minute” kind of person…change. The stress of living from deadline to deadline is immense. You don’t want to go there.
I wish you balance in your life. I pray that, whatever you do, you are happy with your choice and with the people that share it with you.
God bless you.
Mr. B.
