Time is dangerous．If you don’t control it，it will control you．If you don't make it work for you，it will work against you．You must become the master of time，not the servant．

   Study hard and play hard is an old proverb，but it still makes sense．You have plenty of time for classes，study and play if you use your time properly．It is not how much time you allocate for study that counts but how much you learn when you do study．

The more time you waste，the easier it is to continue wasting time．Soon, doing nothing becomes a habit you can’t break．It becomes a drug．When this happens，you lose your feeling of accomplishment．

The Pew survey implies that_____．

The unemployment rate for college graduates last Year was_____．

Lately it has become fashionable in America to question whether it is really worth it to go to college. According to a new survey released by the Pew Research Center, only 40 percent of Americans felt that colleges provided a good value for the cost. At the same time,86 percent of college graduates still felt the investment was a good one for them.

There are a number of reasons for the widespread dissatisfaction with college. First, there are plenty of problems with higher education—poor quality and out-of-control costs are two of the biggest，Second， it is true that college is not for everyone．There are plenty of rewarding and important careers that do not require college．And due to the slow economy，there may in fact be more graduates than the current job market needs．Besides，anti-college sentiment is nothing new· Today，Microsoft’s Bill Gates or Apple’s Steve Jobs—both college dropouts-is often held up as evidence of why all that time sitting in class is better spent elsewhere．

 However，getting a college education is still a good idea．College graduates earn more，and are more likely to have a job in the first place．According to the statistics last year，the average weekly earnings for someone with some college but no degree were$712，compared to$1，038 for a college graduate．That is almost$17，000 over the course of a year and there is an even bigger divide for those with less education．Meanwhile，the unemployment rate was 9.2 percent for those with only some college and more than 10 percent for those with just a middle school degree，but it was 5.4 percent for college graduates．The economic gaps between college completers and those with less education are getting larger·
