Life is stressful and things get a bit sticky at times. One day you go from having nothing to do and the next you can't even stop to eat. Writing papers, studying for tests, work and the in between can get tough. Going non-stop can make you sick, at least that's what happens to me. School just doesn't seem like it's for me, I mean I study 24/7 and I'm not getting to far in my classes. My mom would just blame it on me being a bad "test taker" haha. I want to get my degree, but man sometimes I wonder if it's worth all the stress and unhappiness. How can you tell if you will even like what you are going for ya know?
Don't get me wrong, I like the freedom and responsibility I can handle that, but the school work is not for me! I guess any college student would be the same way though. I swear the core classes are for eliminating the first year students, just seeing who will hang in there. Every hard working college student I know is always stressed out and we wonder how people can party and still make it through college? We figure they are the rich kids that don't care much about what they do and their parents will still pay for them to retake their classes the next semester.
Unlike those rich kids, those of us who have to pay our way through college, despise the number of tests we get in a row. One after another, I mean it's a way to shoot you down with stress. If for even one moment I thought about not studying for a test I would be crazy and that just adds to the stress. Am I studying enough? Is this the right material to study?
Sometimes you have to just take a break and slow down. Your life is passing you by as you stress out every second of the day and you will never get those seconds back. College is supposed to be fun and full of freedom, so just relax and enjoy what opportunities you have encountered. Life has been much more easy now since I take time to hang out with friends and enjoy the wonderful fall weather! You can only do what you can do, and God will get you through it. Study hard, but don't overwhelm your self because you are only going to remember so much and just pray that what you remember is enough! :)

Oh man, I totally remember those days and I don't miss them AT ALL!!! I think you'll be so much happier if you transfer to a technical college. I had a great experience at West Central even though I was ready for it to be over the day I started but it was worth it to get my degree. Now I have something to fall back on if I need it. Hang in there! It gets better :)
