call me crazy...

Or is college supposed to be a place where you can have fun while managing the work that's given to you. Or am I just an exception to the whole rule of "college is FREAKIN' HORD that I don't have time to talk to my friends from high school that went to other colleges"? Also, I noticed (from what I see anyway) that they're not liking college, as opposed to those who are.

Now what defines liking college? I'm not so sure. From what I understand, it's a combination of liking the people, having fun with what's given to ya, and managing your work. Lately, I've been asking people how they are, how's life treating them, and how's college treating them.

"Sorry, busy. Can't talk." "I'm busy." "Hi. Bye" "Must sleep"

Huh?

It's only first quarter/semester(remember I'm one of the few kids on quarter system) and yet so many people are working so hard. On paper, the roles are supposed to be in reverse. I'm supposed to be crying cause I'm on quarter system. More work is packed in. In fact, finals are two weeks away. But here I am with my classes adding up to 18 credits. Somewhat stressed, but it doesn't stop me from keeping in contact with friends. Maybe it's the fact that Rochester is in the middle of nowhere and that because I don't have a car, I don't get to have fun. But then there's the fact that I go to fellowship, I go to club, and a lot of other things(hockey games and college sponsored events, to name a few). Maybe the work is too easy or I'm just that smart. But then I'm not that smart and the work really is not that easy, cause then I would've gotten this material in a moments notice. Maybe it's cause I don't like it here? But I am. In fact, I love it here. I love doing what I do, working to get that profession that I've always wanted since I was 9. That effort I'm putting is going somewhere, right?

Or am I wrong? Maybe I'm not working HARD ENOUGH?!

Yeah sure, screw that.

So the question I'm posing is...am I crazy, or is college supposed to be this hard.

Out of habbit already

Words are a powerful thing. A few can influence, inspire, confuse. Anything. Try not to think about it they say. Patience. A result will come. Frankly, I take it with stride myself, but sometimes it's hard to ignore the things people say to you.

Hopefully orange box will take things off my mind. That or any form of work will do.
