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.

when you go to college, you have more time on your hands to do what you want compared to any other time. classes shorter than highschool on a weekly basis but the thing is everyone uses "im busy" as sort of an excuse because it's what they associate their lives with. we have way more time then we think because compared to working after college, the "i'm busy" right now is a joke. so yeah dont feel you are weird or something for having so much time. enjoy it! i encourage you to get more involved in your fellowship and have a great time while it last. once college is over, we'll be wishing we were back there
you say that yet you never play 3s with me..... lol
"I'm busy" is sort of like the battlecry of the average college student. Although BS wasn't perfect, I think our workload there really did prepare us for college. Of course, when you actually like what you're learning and you feel you're working towards a goal you strongly desire, doing homework becomes a task eargerly performed. I too am downright apalled at how many HS friends downgraded themselves to associate level after they entered college. Isn't this what we have blogs and instant messaging programs for?
