Coming into college I knew my time was going to be consumed by my main focus, learning. The problem is that the school work load takes away from my overall time to learn. To learn through relationships, opportunities, clubs, fraternities, and church. While my life is still searching for a balance that fosters growth in all fields I find myself diving only into schoolwork, mainly because of tangible outcomes. If you do your homework and practice the processes of learning the material, you can learn the material for school and receive good grades. Grades are a tangible outcome of school that can drive towards motivation. For other parts of college that build a well rounded person its harder to find tangible products.
In relationships there is no grade presented for being a good friends or being a supporting shoulder when trouble comes. Therefore in the rat race of college we prioritize our relationships below our schoolwork. This is a sustaining balance because as humans relationships are vital to our growth and sustainable life. It is proven that as age takes it toll on the body having a spouse to depend on, on average lengthens life.
The experience of college are what we will remember and take away from our 4 maybe 5 years at Tech. we will work extremely hard in class to obtain a GPA that will be irrelevant 2-3 years out of school. If we consume ourself solely in work than we can miss out on opportunities to participate in clubs, Greek life, and other extracurricular activities. These experiences is what will define our lives during our college years. I am work hard to find the correct balance that will foster the most growth during my four years at Tech.
