Workaholic

Now, continuing from my last article, I mentioned that I keep busy by working three jobs. However, most people may view this as crazy, but the only thing bad about it is that you may be tired majority of the time, but some positives include making tons of money and being distracted from any problems going on with anything else. There can still be issues at work, like getting annoyed with the customers or disagreements with your coworkers, which is a lot more common than you might think, but you do not have to be friends with the people you work with, you just have to “tolerate” them. The way I balance everything is quite simple though, each job has a designated day. For example, when I work at the book store, I dedicate those days to strictly doing my homework, so that is how I stay on top of most of my classes, my other job is dog grooming and I just do that on the weekends because that would be too stressful to do during the week on top of everything else, and lastly the military, which really sucks because I do not get to choose my days for that, but on the bright side it is just once a month. Moreover, I would like to say I have always been a workaholic for many reasons, but the main reason is that I love the distraction, if I did not have that then I probably would have gone crazy by now. Now, I would not suggest doing this for everyone, because I know some people just focus on school and school only, but this is good to do for many reasons. There are many other things that you can do to distract yourself from negative concepts that I will further explore in my next articles, however, this is just another thing I do to get by and cope with things in life.
Good for you for keeping engaged--and trying lots of jobs can expose you to so many unknown opportunities.
