I will try to to different things than my peers because I am not a sheep and I don't want a group of people to tell me what to do. I am aware that I am unique. I will try not to watch TV all day long and I will try to read more. I will try to work out instead of being in front of a computer all the time. I will try to cut down on using my cellphone all the time.
In order to minimize the impact that social pressures may have on my academic or work performance, I will adapt my post school routine in four ways:
I will complete all of my homework and studying before hanging out with my friends.
I will prioritize work over my friends. Therefore, I will not ask someone to cover my shift simply because I want to hang out with my friends.
I will go to bed early on Friday and on the weekend if I have to work in the morning.
I will stay off of social media until my academic and work obligations are fulfilled. This way, I won't be distracted by scrolling or by what my friends are doing when I need to be focused on other things.
