School is Over
From the minute I went Premium, my goal was to finally have a well built website from which I could profit. Weeks went by and I worked arduously to meet this goal. On the side I had school work to worry about but I didn't not pay much attention to it. Well.. It bit me back. I was able to get a good structure on my website and I'm happy with it. I'll keep improving it but I probably won't get the A for that Microbiology class that applies to my major and that leaves a little emptiness inside of my heart. I know I could have managed my time better but I decided to break the balance and work more and study less.
So... If you're a college student like me, I suggest you don't do the same mistakes as I did and commit a few hours to WA and your website when you can; and truly dedicate those 3 hours per unit that you're supposed to spend studying. I've learned my lesson the hard way.
On the very bright side, summer is here and that means I can work on my websites almost to a 100%. It feels great to be back. I'm back and ready to rumble

You're not the first person not to get the balance right between your competing priorities. A lesson learned. Have fun this summer. :) Beverley
Thank you Tommy :) I'll give school the times it deserves from now on
I only need one more year to get my Bachelors and then I would need another 2 years to go into a field of interest I really can't wait.
It's too bad that you didn't get the correct balance of school and web building. All is not lost as I'm sure you regret your actions and learnt from your mistake. Thankfully you have more than enough time to dedicate to your website with no sacrifices.
Yes. and yes haha
I've got my priorities set now. I guess I was too overly attached to this goal that I overlooked the more important one in.
Hope your summer is full of accomplished goals :)
Learning from the experiences of life and making the appropriate changes - that is what success is all about.....Leigh
As long as you realize your mistakes then you can make progress.. If you turn a blind eye that's when problems happen hehe
I know, it is hard to to drag yourself away from your website creation. Sometimes you just get in that groove that you don't realize how much time has flown by.
I would go in a trance every time I was working on my website. It gets addicting and better than a game sometimes haha
Hope you're in a better boat than me
I hear you. I'm an online gamer, yet I find myself working on my websites every night instead of playing.....
Well I am sorry to hear you had to learn that lesson the hard way, but what is important is that the lesson is learned! Besides there is not one of us who hasn't had the experience of learning lessons the hard way! :) And now that summer is here you can have the enjoyment of working on your website, which is looking pretty good! :) I will look forward to following your journey! Welcome back! Christa
I am sitting here at 10:50 pm and have had nothing but a few strawberries and a few chunks of pineapple to eat today because I have done such a good job of balancing my time today! LOL!
Thank you for the welcome back Christa
The hard learned lessons are sometimes necessary to really examine our actions and improve on them.
Don't starve yourself too much. Step away from the keyboard once in a while and grab something to eat and maybe stretch. Being in a single pose for prolonged periods of time can be bad for your health.
good advice! There definitely needs to be a balance, though the priorities in life can change. Good luck with this venture.
Bringing balance to time is hard. Specially when you love to do something so much that it becomes addicting haha.
I am transferring to a CSU this fall and I am looking forward to apply what I've learned this spring.

Getting our priorities right is very important. Identifying the things that can't wait and giving them the attention they deserve, in my opinion, is the true test of being able to have a balance in life.
I'm sure others will learn a thing or two from your experience.

I hope people do learn from my experience. Sometimes it's better to be a bad example if you can't be the ideal one
