There are many others who shared in this same problem. Many students at Robbinsdale Cooper found themselves trying to allocate their time between studying, a part-time job, an extracurricular activity, and a decent social life. Juggling their time and trying to form priorities can sometimes be a struggling task. Studying takes up about half of any stu- dents free time. If theylre not in the library begging for a quiet moment to study, the stu- dent is at home wracking their brains trying to get that Trig. assignment finished. Many conscientious students have a part- time job for spending money, or for savings for college. Working, as many employees well know, can take up almost all of the rest of ones spare time. Having a job sometimes interferes with school work, in that most employers feel that your job is your number one priority. Extracurricular activities are also very time consuming. Almost every student finds themselves, at one time or another, involved in one or more of RCHS,s many extracur- ricular activities. Most of these organizations also believe that they are the top priority, and all spare moments should be spent prac- ticing with them to improve the group. Where does the social life fit in? Some people have to give up most of it. No matter how many other things a person is involved in, theylll always seem to find just enough extra time to enjoy one of the school dances, or to just take in a leisurely rest in the come mons with their buddies. So, if you found yourself groping to ar- range your time and fixing your priorities, know that you arenlt alone. It would have been easier if we all had just gone to Florida for a couple of months and forgotten about all of this arranginglI Feature - Student Activities e 27
