life of a student...

some other individuals concluded that student life is the most enjoyable in our life.you can do what you want especially those who live separately from their parents.But for me,it is the hardest one. Why? Because I am not "an easy go lucky" student.I have lots of responsibilities in school,as a student alone and as a working student as well.It is really hard to manage time mostly in times of examination.I really need to sleep late just to study my lessons...in short,I am a self supporting student...

You are great. Through the time of being a student, I need the supoort of my family. Though I spend less than my classmates, I take part-time job at the same time, I do not think I can stay alive without the help of my mother. But I think if you can have scholarship, things maybe much better than now.

Maybe you can try to leand money from the bank, and then pay it back after you graduate form school, and have a full-time job. Here in my country, some student have that to help them to finish their college. I do not know can you make it or not, if you can enjoy it, that can help you great. So that you need not your parents' money while can get your fee for the education.

yes...i know there are lots of scholarships offered which I may get into but the question is...are my parents can afford to pay for the rest of school accounts?almost of the scholarships offered here in us is not for full tuition.it is only half of it and some gives 75% less of the tuition.This are very far from the opportuinities i got being a working student.I studied with no tuition fee.all I have to worry about is for my school projects, boarding house payments and some other personal expenses...with this all, my parents still can't sustain my needs so how come if i'll choose those 50% or 75 % discounts of scholarships? it is really hard...

Hello there lib_assist19! I see that your life is hard in a way. And it seems that you are a tough person. Bravo! Individually, I think life as a student is the the most enjoyable compared to working life. As a student, our main goal is to study, get a good result, so that we can get a job - and job is challenging thing to do. If we are in working life, we are living to work. But, student get more freedom than that. I feel sorry for you because you are in both circumstances. I hope you will enjoy your life, as well as getting flying colors in your study. Best of luck!

That is a difficult situation for you because you serve two masters at the same time. You work and you study. But actually I salute you and to all those who are working while they are studying. I know it needs a lot of courage, and effort to succeed in both field. Everything is difficult especially if you do your best. It is tiring if you study hard because you will spend most of your times studying your lessons. And it is also tiring if we work and do our best because we put our best effort.

Firstly, I appreciate for studying and working simultaneously. I understand how tough it would be for any one to do two very important things at the same time. kudos to you! Student life is the best part of one's life and there is no doubt in it however you are in a different situation and perhaps you would find it difficult. But, I would tell you why it is considered the best because,you get to learn many things, you would be able to learn many many new things in various topics and once you have a thorough knowledge , you are always looked up. I would personally suggest you to look at the brighter side of life. I enjoy learing geography, history, economics, reasons for the inflation, abt mumbai attack, American Elections, Obama history, latest scientific developments and I feel proud of myself that I have got adequate knowledge and can speak in a congregation with puffed chest. so, I would like to conclude that student life is the bestlife provided you enjoy studying.

During the time I was a student, it was the most stressful time of my life. I had the luxury of living with my parents, but I still had a lot of responsibility. I had to work about 20 hours a week, keep the house clean, do the grocery shopping, cook our evening meal each day, and babysit my younger cousin during my off hours. I did all that in addition to taking on 15 - 19 credit hour loads each semester. My life since school has been full of stress, but I do have down time that I didn't get to enjoy when I was a student. Plus, when I was in school, I went fall, spring and summer. I had no true vacation time or sick time. I now have both that I can take as needed.

Well first of all you should be proud of what you are doing. You are studying because you are exerting extra effort to finish it. It may be different from the rest of the student population but then try to appreciate yourself first and soon you'll enjoy what you're doing. Just tell to yourself that this will make you a better person when you finish your education. I know many students that are like you started pretty good when they found job because they already are trained to work already so working in real life is much easier for them to do and train. Take advantage of what you have learned from everything that you do in your education and being a working student.

Even though Student life is enjoyable i think it is really the difficult phase of a humans life..they really have to manage things if they are in college level expecially...i thuink they have to study a lot,make themself look esctacic and if they have a girl or boy friend they should go out with them and again they should go out with their mates and spend in quite a lot of bucks for partying and finally they have to get good grades in semesters..i think this is multi tasking to the core for any student...Happy mylotting..

Don´t tell me, I am also a working student and I went terrible this semester failing in all the 3 classes I atended to. It´s really hard to have a full time job and still study at night. I simply can´t study cause I get 6 buses a day, get home really late and have to wake up very early. Students life is enjoyable when they can simply study because then they can really learn things and enjoy the knowledge.

I agree completely! Being a student really stinks. Despite the fact that college is fun and you meet new people, do a bunch of different things, it's so time consuming! You have to study and go to class all the time. I also work 30 hours a week, so that takes up a lot of time. Yeah, I get to study and use my laptop while I'm here, but it's so easy to lose concentration when the phone rings or a customer comes up to me and I have to put them first. It's also expensive! Where I go it's $300+ for one credit. One semester easily adds up to $5000 and that's without housing a meal plan, etc. AND it's in state tuition so if you're not from Virginia one credit is 1000+

I am in college right now and I agree, it is much harder than most people say. I rely on academic scholarships, so it is very important for me to get and keep very good grades. I am very lucky to be able to live with my parents and save on room and board, but I have responsibilities at home and still have to make money. My favorite part about being a college student is that even with the work, it's finally my choice on how to balance my life, and I'm not told what to do with my time. I also feel like I'm learning things in school instead of being babysat like I did in high school. Best of luck for you in school and life, I hope it all works out for you!

you should be proud of the fact that you are a self supporting student. Life can be hard because you are doing two things at a time. a student life is said to be good because of the no:of friends .Sincerly hope you have good friends to pull you through this. Best of luck with your studies

Student life is the education way for to get success in the life path. At every moment of childhood we need the support from elderone, so that we must be together in our family. It help to take a proper and sutable dicission in life and in the study. When we are in a problem we mut concern with elder one who areloving to us.
