Man...college is tough. Studying into all hours of the night, hoping to atleast recieve a b- becuase everything is so hard. Putting so much time and effort into all your classes and studies, and then sometimes not even coming near your goal....tears me apart. Feeling like I have alot of pressure to do good, because if you screw up...this is it, its college, you either do good, or you dont. Im doing this for myself. Thats what everyone says and thats how I feel. But at times whether its true or not, it feels like you have this overwhelming thing on your shoulders pushing you to do better and if you dont make your parents proud its going to be a huge letdown. Of course my parents arent like that, they just want me to do my best, but I still always feel like im letting THEM down if I do bad, even though i tried like 150%. College is also tough because of the money situation. Some people are blessed and have there money saved up....well some do not and im one of them. Not having any money to do your laundry is a horrible feeling, you ever experience that ? haha, well if you do its not a good feeling thats for sure. Being on your own is cool, its great in fact. Sometimes it does get lonely up here too.
I think tonight after studying every night until 3 in the morning, im going to just chill. Nobody realizes what college kids go through. We feel like we have so much pressure, so much time and hardwork goes into our studies that sometimes we dont even realize that weve been studying for 5 hours without a break. Working so hard and receiving less than satisfactory is kinda heartbreaking.
Dont think I hate college, becuase I love it here. Its just sometimes the studying and the pressure gets to me, and it builds up inside. College is great, you meet so many people, and have so many good times. Thats why we have THE WEEKENDS!
Sorry for that boring entry.
