So for the past few days I had to start organizing and start creating my schedule for next semester. & finally am done with the first draft (sad to say I have to make my schedule in drafts). I have realized I am so busy that I have to schedule in time for Food, Sleep, and working out. I was talking about my different commitments to a friend of mine, and he told me that I should be careful and not spread myself too thin.
This rose a question to my head: When is it 'too much'? All of my life I have been used to living a hectic schedule. My mother always put me into all these different extra-curriculars that sometimes I won't be home until 11pm and then I had homework to do. So functioning on little sleep has been a norm for me. In addition to that I have always been the 'hard-working type of gal, and did what I have to do in order to make due with everything.
I am proud to say I am unlike other college students here on my campus (can't speak for all), and I actually do know the value & weight of money. I made it to college without any other assistance (money-wise) but my own. I have a new car (who is in the shop due to my accident), pay my cell bill, my medical bill (I'm ALWAYS at the doctors), pay my insurance and all car payments, in addition to my other needs, plus am paying off a vacation on my own. But in order to be able to do all that financially I have to work and work ALOT!
So this coming semester I am taking 18 credits, 5 jobs, and trying to live a normal life still. Is that too much? I really didn't think of it since I just took it as "I need money, how to I go about getting it."How does one determine when is "too much" or when you are spreading yourself thin? Is it a social norm, or a personal thing? I am really curious to see.
Much love & harmony,
B
