Life is always a balance of Yin and Yang. The balance of student life and social life, and when does one life become to much. I believe students should divide their time so that they are contributing to their educational future and learning along the way, while making time for studying for tests and indulging yourself in school while build your knowledge and wisdom which will work toward you getting a degree. The reasons why I believe this is because what ever we put our mind to we can achieve, just like manifestation or pre-determinism. What ever we want to work towards we will learn and potentially succeed in, which is why these two life styles are in competition and partnership with each other. If you focus more or one you will lack the experience that the other has to offer for you, and how we learn and grow depends on our experiences.

Education and career are very important to who identify as and how we benefit society. In order for us to become something great or create something we must have goals or things we want to achieve. For example in order to become a doctor you must go through medical school and receive several years of schooling. This is the perfect example because Yes having a paper degree to your name is very important, but not as much important as the journey that one took from those years of schooling, all that time wasn’t only just for a degree. It was the knowledge that was accumulated through out those years.

Having a social life is also important to who you are. Most people would agree that you will learn a lot about yourself that you didn’t know when you are socially interacting with a group or people you don’t know. There are important reasonings to priorities your social life at certain times, because these experiences build your character. Some examples of when this can benefit you is if you are making a business deal or applying for a job. the other person or organization may not say it but they would most of the time want someone who is a ‘people person’ and knows how to talk to strangers and give a good image for their business or what the corp represents. This ties back to the claim by showing how being

It is essential to find a balance in your life with these two different lifestyles. I have shown the strengths in student and social life, and how they can coexist in-order to benefit your future and your present. As students we create schedules for school work, studying, breaks, and work. And when we  go out we make plans like who’s coming, where are we going, and how long are we going there for. Having a diverse schedule for your education/work and social life is important and beneficial for your future and who you are as a person.

In conclusion, I believe many students struggle with the competition in these two sides. My solution would be that rather than looking at it like a competition, find a way that these sides can co-exist that fills your life because not everyone is living in the same schedule as others. Find some kind of division of your time that you gain as much experience as you can. I believe students should divide their time so that they are contributing to their educational future and learning along the way, while making time for studying for tests and indulging yourself in school while build your knowledge and wisdom which will work toward you getting a degree. In the end you will become the best you can be as a person and be successful.
