As a student, you need to continually balance three main areas in your life: school, work and leisure. It is not likely (or desirable) that your Pie of Life will be divided into three equal sections. How the pie is "sliced" will differ from one person to another. Your goals, needs, and interests will shape your choices in each of these areas. Feeling confident, challenged, satisfied, fulfilled, happy, and in control can be signs that you have done well in balancing the three main areas of life. Frequent bouts with negative feelings, emotional responses, and resentments can be signs that the three areas of life need to be examined and rebalance.
