Having Balence in Life**

Recently I was doing an assignment for one of my classes that was taking awawy a rather large amoutn of my time. As I was doing this I was wondering just how much time have I used just for school and if I ever took time off to be myself for a weekend. It was then that I realized that my life was lacking something key: balance. Having balance in life is something that everyone struggles with, whether it be a college student figuring out what to study or how much time I have left to do this, or a parent saying how they never have enough time in their day to get everything done.  I know that I personally, have struggled with trying to find balance, especially now with getting more involved in organizations and figuring out how much time should be devoted and when. One of the main ways to help find balance is to figure out what matters to you most and make time for that in your life. By keeping these priorities straight, it can help you to stay focused on one task at a time. Now, I try my best to keep myself balanced to an extent, but trying to keep up with  a certain sleeping pattern, or routine in college, just has never worked for me. I cant think of one college student that says they are content with where they are at now, and have balance in their lives. I think almost everyone struggles with this because society has imposed certain rules that we need to constantly check our email or we need to go in for work to make sure all of our clients are satisfied. By making these impositions indirectly, it can greatly affect not just families, but college students as well. Even I find myself consistently checking my email, making sure that I don't miss an important message for class or an updated assignment. Because we are so used to this fast paced life, I don't think we are used to take time to stop, and make time for activities that matter in our lives. By making this time, it can help improve employee's moral to work. As a future entrepreneur, one of the key points that I have heard mentioned numerous times is having balance between academics, extracurricular activities, and clubs/organizations. It was very, very surprising that even recruiters for jobs wanted to see balance in young people and not just someone that was an all-star baseball player, or someone that had lots of clubs, but was horrible academically. If we all can find balance in our life, it can help us to not just prioritize, but also make the key parts of life more rewarding and make us feel content with whatever journey in life we choose.
