“Some hours of the day must be used to carry out activities for sustenance and sleep, whereas other activities, such as paid work, are required by society. Some activities are directed by the desires and wishes of the individual alone and others by the social norms and values of his or her social context. The time used for activities is subject to constraints and requires that the individual prioritize activities, “ (Hellgren, 2014).

The definition of Temporal orientation is “a cognitive structure for processing information by comparing events in relationship to when they occur.” (Garner, 2007) Temporal orientation is what helps students plan and organize. Students who lack in temporal orientation struggle to complete task within a certain time frame and are often late for class.

Computer software is always evolving and getting better. It is essential that a DBA have the most updated software to make-work easier. Another part of the job is planning future storage requirements for the database system’s hardware. Since new data is always being entered, eventually you will need a bigger database, which means you will need a bigger computer to hold the data.

Security is of paramount importance for a database administrator. Hackers will go to extreme lengths to breach private information.

I manage to do my homework until lunch time at 11:00. Once I am finished eating lunch I finish up some more work. Once 4:00 hits I manage to squeeze in time in my schedule to go to the gym and exercise with my sister.

Once it is 11:00 I head to my room to go to sleep and start my day all over again the next day. What surprised me least about my waking hours is me constantly having to do some type of homework assignment for my class.
