Broken Promises
So I feel really down about how my plans for the summer are seriously in jeopardy!
I promised Meghan since like freshman year that I would do study abroad with her this summer at Oxford. I REALLY WANT TO! It was going to be so great and SO much fun! Taking the SNCF Grande Vitesse to get to the surrounding European countries certainly would have been a lifetime experience with one of my best friends.
...
But somehow, I'm being punished for doing well in school. How this happens I do not know. So I got this letter in the mail from the dean advertising that I should do the biology fast track program to earn an MBA in business as well as a bachelors in biology. My mother overheard me reading out the letter and pretty much told me that I have no choice but to do it. THIS IS MY LIFE, I'M ALREADY DOUBLE MAJORING. I know she gave me life, but who does she think she is? Forcing me to do a triple major because she feels like it ON A TOTAL WHIM IS NOT FAIR. I am barely staying afloat each semester with a B average with two majors. Why is it that I can't get a say in my own destiny?
...
So joining this program entails that I would HAVE to take an intense course load this summer, thus making it impossible for me to do study abroad with Meghan as I planned. The sucky part is that I don't even want to do it. I never excel in things I have no motivation in. Maybe if I had this option to me as a freshman I would have committed to it, but with it being pushed on me I feel trapped and I don't want to.
I'm going to have to quote Rhianna from her "Good Girl Gone Bad" album and say: "I think that life sucks sometimes."
