How to balance school and your personal life

Balance school and personal life is a serious problem for most students, which effects to academics success. base my personal experience, there are several steps to do. First step, consider your future goals and determine which one you want to emphasis on. Someone who want a higher GPA for challenge or finding a good job can spent more time and energy on the school. Some of students don't care about grades and only want to enjoin their life and experience. For these students, they can find many clubs to join in and enjoin their personal life on the premise of basics course requirement. Second step, make a plan for your everyday life, also persist to follow it. have a fixable plan because the affairs of the world are inconstant. We should persist the things we do and take a firm stand what we do, because there are no overnight success. Finally, serve other something of value. because life isn't only relate to yourself. Talk with someone else and get help and information. You really don't need deal with the life for yourself. So, after you list all information, organized your mind, and follow the steps, a clearly decision would come out of your mind.

Flood

There are many place where people need to be concerned about flood. Flood causes big damage of building and cities, but it also benefit for people and agriculture. A flood occurs when water overflows or inundates land that's normally dry. This can happen in a multitude of ways. Most common is when rivers or streams overflow their banks. Excessive rain, a ruptured dam, rapid ice melting in the mountains  are also impetus for flood. Moving water has awesome destructive power. When a river overflows its bank,  Bridges, houses, trees, and cars can be picked up and carried off. The erosive force of moving water can crush the foundation of building. In 1930, the world worst flood appeared in china. Estimates of the total death range from 3.7 million to 4 million and a huge amount people was effected. Many cities was destroyed through north to south. however, flood also can benefited for agriculture. when a river overwhelm and send sands spreading the flat land, nutritious sludge are good for supporting the growth of plants. Usually, high quality agriculture appears at the place where even had a flooding.
