Advantages: can sometimes forget about it

Disadvantages: goes too quickly

How I would love to be a child again. Not having to worry about the alarm clock being set, getting to school on time and how long it took to make dinner. As a child your parents are responsible for you. If you are late it?s their fault, if you get to bed late they can also be blamed. As you get older time begins to control you, no matter how hard you try you cannot control it as it is always ahead of you.

Time controls my life. It?s kind of like men ? you cannot live with them and you cannot live without them. Without a watch my life would be impossible. I would miss the bus on a daily basis, be late for lectures and I would be a complete nervous wreck in a timed exam (even more than usual).

I am nearly twenty-one and many people would say I have spent my time so far wisely. I have 10 GCSE?s and 3 A Levels and hopefully will soon have a degree to my name. I have left home and I have met the man I am going to spend the rest of my life with. However I have no money, I?ve never travelled outside Europe and I have no idea where I am going to be working next year and where we are going to be living. Look at Michael Owen for instance; he is worth millions and the same age as me. He has travelled the world playing football and enjoyed almost every minute of it.
I often compare myself with famous player when considering time. I would love to be on £50,000 a week but I am sure they do not despise me in the slightest.

I am the first to admit I waste a lot of time. Right now for example I could be getting on with my dissertation or doing much more valuable things than writing this opinion. I waste hours a day watching rubbish TV programs and reading pathetic newspaper stories.

I spend a few minutes a day planning what I am going to do. I have to plan my day around travelling, lectures, studying, shopping, washing, sleeping, spending time with my fiancé and socialising. Without measuring time how could I plan this?

I wish I h
ad all the time in the world on my hands. Twenty-Four hours goes too quickly, often I feel as if I?ve just woken up when it is time to go to bed. I don?t always wish for time to go slow though. When I am sat in a doctor?s surgery or waiting for a cheque to come through the post I try and rush time. On the other hand there are some days that I just want to last forever, take for example the night my fiancé proposed and we saw a shooting star. I wanted that moment to last for an eternity.

When I am on holiday I try not to worry about time. I take off my watch and forget about it eating exactly when we want to and not just because it is dinnertime. We go out when we want and go to bed when we want. Still when it gets to the end of the holiday reality sinks in and you have to look at your watch to make sure you catch your plane on time.

However you see it and however people explain it time will always be a difficult subject. Who knows I might not be around tomorrow, nobody knows how much time they have got left. It?s all right saying enjoy life while you can but we?ve still got to work and many people cannot afford to enjoy the time they have got left like they would like.

I try and enjoy the time I have. I make sure I spend valuable time with my family, friends and my fiancé. I also spend valuable time on my education as I am hoping it will improve my chances of having a long and successful career.

Many Dooyoo writers have pointed out that Time only controls you if you let it. I don?t think is the case as time affects everyone both physically and mentally. You cannot stop your hair falling out or you face growing wrinkles. You may be able to prevent them or prolong the ordeal but over time it will still happen.

Take Care and enjoy the time you have
