So while I ended up having to drop that dreaded calculus class, all in all, I had an incredible semester and I feel this jocular Taylor Swift meme accurately depicts that. I lost someone really close to me and got fired from my job in a matter of weeks, all while deciding to go back to school for the first time since I graduated high school nearly eight years ago. I was juggling a lot of things at once, and a lot of those things were awesome (when I started the semester I had a boyfriend and a job). But I still have a lot of things. I have a new lease on life, a 4.0 semester if all of my finals work out as planned, and I did something I thought I couldn’t do for the first eight years: went back to college and stopped judging myself for being decently older than everyone else. I’m still juggling a lot of things at once (or have a lot of things on my plate, like we talked about in Shanima’s in-class activity) and probably will be juggling a lot of things for the rest of my journey at Baruch and through life, but I’m juggling success, just like T-Swift and that’s a great thing to be juggling. Here’s to things looking up and not taking summer classes. 🙂
