After just working a 30 hour work week I took a step back and wondered if all this stress is worth it in high school. If me working so much was hindering my ability to enjoy my time and relax. And I came to the conclusion that it was. So I was deciding on either cutting down my availability at work and or making a single day of the week let's say a Friday or Saturday an “Alora Day” where I get to relax and do whatever I want because I earned it.
After countless hours of making hoagies a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do. When everything seems stressful take a step back, evaluate, and try to find a way to calm down. And that's exactly what I did. I went into work tonight and cut down my hours to 20 and im going to focus on my studies and some much needed relaxation this holiday break as well as after. Especially after i just got told tonight that Wawas system was breached and for the past 9 months peoples personal credit and debit card information has just been circling around. This could really hurt bushiness so well see what is to come.
It's good that you have enough self respect to allow yourself time to relax and give yourself a break. Although part time jobs can give us experience working and money to buy what we want, they can take up so much unnecessary time. As teenagers, we should make use of any free time we have, especially since we have an entire life dedicated to working full time just to sustain a living ahead of us. Hopefully the long break gives you a chance to rest!
ReplyDeleteI think that its good that you took a step back and realized that you needed to make a change in your work schedule in order to balance the other aspects in your life. It's important to make sure that you have time to yourself in order to reduce stress and possibly overworking yourself.
