When in the situation of friends versus school, play is an on the side of want, but life skills are a necessity so it becomes necessary to put ones values in order and focus on the need to learn .One can’t spend each night up texting, chatting, playing video games or whatever the case may be if they have to get up early the next morning and be prepared for tomorrow’s test. Time must be spent wisely on what is important and not foolishly messed with. How can one succeed in the future with a job if their time management is poor? To which does one devote more time? It is whichever one the conscious decides is more important. It is better to be prepared and study than to know nothing and cheat, because then the education is worth nothing and is a waste of money. A person also needs to have a certain mindset of true value, if not they are limiting themselves. It’s a constant decision to make of what the next step in a person’s life will be and it all depends on the devotions oneself will make
