Life
can become overwhelming when you have a million and one things to do, especially
while still trying to include your loved ones. The stress of it all can cause
you to become angry and short with others. Often times, this can cause
unnecessary arguments between you and some very undeserving victims. But do not
worry, there are ways you can prevent this.
The
first thing you can do is make a schedule, this will allow you to see all of
your priorities and when exactly you need to worry about them. This allows you
to be able to concentrate on one thing at a time and to put your full effort
into it. Before
you go to bed, figure out the plan for the next day. Write down everything you’d ideally like to accomplish or
enjoy in the next month, which includes hobbies and downtime. You don’t
normally pencil those in because they seem optional, but they’re actually
crucial to having a balanced life. Look at your schedule and figure out what is
due and where you need to be when. This helps you prioritize and be prepared
when other tasks pop up at the last minute. Be
sure to make time for family, they are the ones that will stay with you forever
so make sure to include them in your everyday life. This could simply mean
telling them about your day or asking for their advice, you never know, they
may have some good ideas. You could also make a family movie or game night;
this will allow you to enjoy family time while having fun. Your family will
always be there when you need them, so try to get to know them.
Also
make room in your busy schedule for friends. Your friends are the people who
help you get through your crazy school life. Be sure to spend time with them
and do something you all want to do. You will have to work
extra hard to maintain your social life and previous friendships. But, the important
friendships are worth it to maintain even if you only have an hour of free time
every week. This may be going out to eat, going
to the movie, getting ice cream, or simply just hanging out together. It will
give you a chance to relax and have fun, which can later help you to think more
clearly.
As
for Drama, I say avoid it all together. You would be surprised at how much
easier your life becomes when you do not have to worry about who said what
about someone else or yourself. Drama really is a pointless time waster, and it
causes you to lose friends you need. You may thing Drama is not avoidable, but
a few tips will help you become drama free. Firstly, Know who your friends are, don’t tell random people your thoughts on someone else. It will always result
in disaster. True friends will not go around and gossip about you. Stick with
your true friends and be a friend back.
If
your friend tells you something confidential, you must keep their secret
between the two of you. If you tell, not only will you ruin the trusting
relationship you had with the person who told you. Someone trusts you with
something, so you should show them how trustworthy you are. In doing this, you
will better avoid conflicts and arguments which lead to unneeded drama.
Lastly, don't get involved in anyone else's drama. Just stay out of it, if it's not your problem, don't try to fix things.
When two of your best friends are arguing, be there to listen to both sides of
the stories, but stay neutral. Taking a side will add drama to the whole
situation, and suddenly, you're in the middle of it
Juggling life can be tough but only if you make it that way. It is amazing
how simple organization skills can help an overstressed schedule. It helps if
you learn to rank importance on activities, choosing between partying and
studying can be a very vital decision that can greatly affect you. Just
remember, don’t sweat the small stuff, save your energy for the bigger fight.
