Read the following scenario, then answer the question. Mia stayed up late on a school night and watch six episodes in a row of her favorite show. The next day at school she felt really sleepy. She was so tired that she nearly fell asleep during her class's art activity and didn't finish her project! She felt sad, because art is her favorite subject. Which choice could Mia have made to have media balance?

• Not watch the show at all. It's not a good choice.

• Watch fewer episodes of the show so she could get a full night's sleep.

• Watch the same amount of episodes, and just don't worry about not finishing her art project.
