College Life Thus Far

College and I have a complicated relationship. Sometimes it's been a good and loyal friend, other times it's bent me over the sofa and whaled on me with a steak tenderizer, but I take all of that in good faith because I know that it's going to lead me to bigger things in life.

For better or for worse.

I'm currently a junior at (UNSPECIFIED COLLEGE WHICH NAME WILL NOT BE MENTIONED), in which I am currently studying (UNSPECIFIED MAJOR THAT ALSO WILL NOT BE MENTIONED). I still commute to classes on a daily basis meaning that I can almost see the gas companies shaking hands with (UNSPECIFIED COLLEGE) as they suck every cent of paycheck out of my pocket. Commuting can also sometimes make college feel more like extended high school which only makes me want to speed up time between cradle to the grave. 

I know that what I'm about to say may be difficult for some people of my generation to understand, but I very much appreciate everything my parents do for me, so I try to help them out as much as I can. I work two part time jobs to afford the essentials (food, gas, cell phone bill, etc.). I don't fancy being a burden on anyone, and this especially goes for my parents. So if you want to call me lame for trying to afford having responsibilities and attempting to help my parents out, please do so. Then go hurl yourself out of a plane and land ass first on the spire of Winchester Cathedral.

As for the classes I've taken, *ehh* well they haven't exactly been terrible. Some have been major intensive, others have made flicking playing cards into a hat seem like a better time-waster. I've had good professors and bad ones, but that's the nature of the business, I suppose.

In conclusion, I will continue this journey for as long as I can, but what you need to know is that if you spread yourself too thin, you risk losing a sense of structure, which is something I obviously need to work on. Be safe, and work hard on whatever you decide to do, but don't get too overwhelmed.
