The Balancing Act

Since the summer, I knew coming into college was going to change almost every aspect of my life. Well, I was wrong; college changed all aspects of my life. As much as I want to curse the school and most of my professors (exception being Randy!) I believe that these past three months has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. However, this opinion will probably change very soon once finals week rolls around.

Sleep has never been a problem for me. You can spot me counting sheep anytime past 9:30(most weekends too-#turnup) and anywhere ranging from the floor to the shower and even at supper. Regardless of what comes the next day, I will be able to fully prepare for it without my beauty sleep. So that leaves me to choose between either having a social life and good grades.

Occasionally, on the weekends I do visit my friends but no matter how great the time is I end up regretting it. This is because of all the work and studying I could have done that I now have to make up for. When my girlfriend comes over we agree to study together and help each other with assignments. This composes of my social life outside of school. Inside of school, I have many friends whom I share similar interests with and inside jokes. These friends steal my food, play basketball with me, and spot me at the gym. After three short months, the strangers I met in the beginning of the year quickly became some of my close friends.

Finally, we come to good grades… I’ll let you know more about this when I get them.
