5 Things That Being A Student And Working Teaches You

In This Article:

Being a student for any length of time, or amount can be so stressful, degrading at times, and purely exhausting physically, mentally and emotionally. Some handle better than others; but no matter the fact, it is still extremely difficult. But even though it can be exhausting, it can also be rewarding in more ways than one. And here are the ways how;

Discipline

You learn to be disciplined in ways unexplained. You have to learn to be punctual with assignments, and attendance amongst a billion of other things. You might know that friends are going out, but you have to study; so you choose to stay in and work your butt off.

Respect

You learn to respect yourself, and others because people with jobs have all gone through specific training, certifications, or even schooling which had them be in your shoes for a period of time. You respect what they did to get to where they are.

Appreciation

You appreciate the little things whether it is finally relaxing for 30 minutes before you go to study, the time on vacations because it feels like an eternity in between the ones you do get, and as silly as it sounds the time in the morning where you are getting ready; and it's you only you.

Loyalty

You learn that others depend on your loyalty as a friend, family member, employee, or classmate. If you are to not commit to the things that you signed up for it can affect others friends.

The Final One Is "Hard Work"

Your hard work truly does pay off, rather its getting that self-love present you've wanted for months, getting an A on that hard test, or affect just achieving a goal that you aimed amongst.

All of these things come within the experience of juggling a lot on your plate; it takes someone special to do what we do. So do not get down on yourself, you are doing; just keep on trucking because there is always a finish line to walked across.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
