5B Working Hard or Hardly Working

After doing my time study I am realizing I need to sleep more. I also need to work a little bit more on homework than I am currently. Sleep is something I used to have too much of as a high school student. Now clearly I am not getting enough during the week.

In high school I tried to get around 9-10 hours maybe more if I had the chance to. Granted I did not spend as much time on homework last year as I currently do. I think overall my senior year of high school I did about 8 hours of homework a week while now I am doing up to 30 hours. In high school I would get about 85-90 hours of sleep a week while now I’ll be lucky on a week day if I even get 6 hours of sleep. This whole sleep thing is a big change for me.

I am not only not sleeping as much because of the work, but because I am socializing a lot more now than I did in high school. In high school I never really went out or hung around with my friends on a weekday because my parents wanted me to only focus on school. The main part of college other than the work is to meet people and socialize. I mainly do that at night. I hang out in the quad in front of chase until about midnight every night. Sometimes I’ll hang out in the lounge of chase with people on my floor till 1 am. My social time this past week was 9 hours more than the amount of hours I spent on work. That statement is not good for me. It used to be the other way around when I was in high school.

I know the key to my success is sleep and hard work. I need to try and find that happy medium between work and play.
