The advantages and disadvantages of college students----taking part-time job

Nowadays it has become fashionable for college students to taking part-time job in their spare time. I think this trend has advantages and disadvantages as well.

The advantages of college students taking part-time job are as follows : By taking a part-time job,college students can earn some money for their daily necessities, so they can ease their families' financial burden and become economically independent. And by taking a part-time job, college students can get some working experiences and know how to use their knowledge in practical work , how to cooperate with the others and how to deal with some problems they may face. These experiences are surely helpful to their future work after graduation. However, the disadvantages of college students taking a part-time job can not be neglected. The main disadvantages are that if they spend too much time on their part-time jobs, their academic studies will be affected. They may not have enough time to digest what they have learned in class and they may not have enough time to extracurricular organized by their college after class.

Since this trend has both advantages and disadvantages, college students should be careful when they decide whether they should take a part-time job or not. My suggestion is that they had better strike a balance between academic studies and a part-time job.

The main difference between my college life and my middle school life

If people ask me such a question what do you think is the main difference between my college life and my middle school life? My answer is always the same: the main difference is that in college I enjoy a great degree of independence.

I prefer college life to middle school mainly because I'm independent both in daily life and in my academic studies. In college I will arrange my daily life by myself and make decisions of my own will. As for academic study, I have plenty of free time after class for self-study and learn whatever I am interested in. To be successful in all the courses I have to learn, I even can have a workable plan of my own. While in middle school, I lived a dependent life. My daily are arranged by my parents. I even could not decide what to eat and what to wear, for my parents usually had the final say. And I was jammed with what the teachers wanted to feed me , without considering whether I really want to learn or not. By comparison I should say I love the independent life in college. In college I feel I am a grown-up.

In short, my college life is quite different from my middle school life. In college, I am much more independent in my daily life and study. To those new comers, I would suggest that they rely on themselves and be an independent man.
