When I moved into an empty dormitory for the first time two years ago, I was certain of a few things．Firstly, I realized that I didn’t  1  anybody at the school．Secondly, I knew that I wanted to work hard at my lessons and learn something useful．And thirdly, I wanted to have a good time with new classmates, without my parents around．

       The first  2  frightened me in the beginning．But that  3  quickly disappeared．It was the other two goals  4  ended up being my difficulties．I knew that it was hard to devote enough time to class and to social efforts．But I wanted to  5  in both．I knew this would be a  6  , but I didn’t realize how much until classes began．

       I got on well with the other girls who lived in my dorm． 7 , instead of finishing my homework  8 it was due, I went upstairs and had ice cream with my neighbor．I always finished it the next day between classes．I knew it wasn’t very good and the grade I  9  showed my lack of effort．

       I was  10  that I needed to find some sort of balance．So I created a schedule that would  11  my time up between going to class, doing homework, and relaxing．It seemed like a good idea, but I was only able to  12  it for a few days．A schedule like that was too much pressure．

       So I tried another 13 ．Each week I made a list of everything I had to get done during that week．Then, under the list of things I had to get done, I made a list of things I could do if I had time．

       This is the method I have used since then．I’m glad that I’ve learned to  14  things and it has  15  prepare me for what is to come after graduation．

Few laws are so effective that you can see results just days after they take effect．But in the nine days since the federal cigarette tax more than doubled----to $1．01 per pack---smokers have jammed telephone ‘quit lines’ across the country seeking to kick the habit．

       This is not a surprise to public health advocates．They’ve studied the effect of state tax increases for years, finding that smokers, especially teens, are price sensitive．Nor is it a shock to the industry, which fiercely fights every tax increase．

       The only wonder is that so many states insist on closing their ears to the message．Tobacco taxes improve public health, they raise money and most particularly, they deter people from taking up the habit as teens, which is when nearly all smokers are addicted．Yet the rate of taxation varies widely．

       In Manhattan, for instance, which has the highest tax in the nation, a pack of Marlboro Light Kings cost $10．06 at one drugstore Wednesday．In Charleston, S．C, where the 7-cent-a-pack tax is the lowest in the nation, the price was $4．78．

       The influence is obvious．

       In New York, high school smoking hit a new low in the latest surveys----13．8%, far below the national average．By comparison, 26 % of high school students smoke in Kentucky, Other low-tax states have similarly depressing teen-smoking records．

       Hal Rogers, Representative from Kentucky, like those who are against high tobacco taxes, argues that the burden of the tax falls on low-income Americans “who choose to smoke．”

       That’s true．But there is more reason in keeping future generations of low-income workers from getting hooked in the first place．As for today’s adults, if the new tax drives them to quit, they will have more to spend on their families, cut their risk of cancer and heart disease and feel better．
