Ahh!

“College is supposed to be the best time of your life.” Well currently, I am ready to scream as I frantically throw every single paper, assignment, reading, book, and test around the room. There’s no secret college can be stressful, and I feel as if I’m not “spilling” any new information to you, but sometimes it can be therapeutic. It’s always a good time when teachers assign heavily weighted projects and tasks all around the same relative time period. (I am being completely sarcastic). You have to take a deep breath, relax, and realize you’re not the only one in this situation. Some have it worse, and some ease on by. I am not satisfied with doing minimum work to “get by”. It’s college; I am PAYING to go through all of this. I WANTED to be here. Often, I blame everything on external items as if I can’t control anything. Oh, but you can. Time management is crucial in times like this. It’s easy to pass up assignments and save them for later dates; but honestly, I just can’t get away with that anymore. I need to face every situation head on, and just complete all my tasks. I have two tests, two presentations, and a few homework assignments thrown in, all in the same three to four days. I can sit here and think of how stressful it will be and complete RESENT those teachers. But it’s their job. They cannot accommodate to every student’s schedule. I’m lucky if they even take it into consideration. Instead of thinking of how I’m NOT going to make it through, I need to start implementing a plan to take it head on. I feel as if I’m writing this blog to calm myself down, but also I swear I have a strong intent in helping others get through these circumstances. It’s hard to want to succeed and STAND OUT for what you’ve done, but it’s too easy to fall back in with the rest during these times. It’s just not possible and I feel as if that goal will aid in getting through this. The semester cannot end soon enough, but at the same time, I don’t want to see this year fly by me. It’s a love/hate relationship.
