when it rains it pours
Wow...why do I feel like this. I can't get it out of my head. I've been walking around for the past couple of days feeling as though I'm going to throw up. I feel like everything I've worked so hard for has just vanished in the past week. What was the point? It's not worth anything in the end. My dad would be so disappointed in me, I think.

Don't stress. This is the worst time of year for college kids. Last year at this time, I was failing gen chem and questioning my decision to persure the medical field. After sobbing to my mother, my room mate, and all my friends, I realized that all the pressure I put on myself and all of the work I was doing wasn't good for me. I was doing so much work, trying so hard and yet, no matter what I did, I was still failing. I had NEVER failed ANYTHING before and it was the hardest thing that I had ever done. In the end, I realized that I didn't want to persue a career that was going to make me this unhappy before I even started. So, I did what I had to do: I dropped chem (luckily I had three spare credits from AP english and didn't lose any) and switched my major to English. Over the summer I realized that I really wanted to become a teacher (thanks to Mrs McGonigle) and added Education as my concentration. I'm happier now than I ever was last year. Do whatever will make you happy. Cry, laugh, bitch, moan, but whatever you do, make yourself happy. The most important lesson I learned last year was that it is ok to fail. Its OK! You're not a worse person for it.
I"m sorry you had to read ALL of these words, but know I"m here for you if you need me (smartgirl121685).
Love,
