Hi there...
Well here I sit thinking about desicions I've made within the last couple weeks. Im still really unsure if what im doing is the right thing. Day in, and day out I keep telling my self things will work out, however i dont know. Im in a better mood now that I dont have the weight of class on my shoulders, but I still have a while to go. I want to finish this semester out well so I at least have a good foundation started. My credits my advisor told me will still be as good in 20 years as they are today. So well see.. I want to still get my degree its just because i got hired I dont want to mess a good thing up.
Well I need a word count and Im unsure what to write about so.. I think im just going to rant and rave about my life some more. So not only quitting school has been a problem on my mind, but im also looking for an apartment. There are manny around the area where I live, there just is not any that allow my dog. I have a collie lab mix, basically a mut, but hes a great dog. Im thinking about just saving money and renting a house and do a land contract thing, but once again I dont want to move too fast. So If any one knows of a good place for me let me know! Back to me talking.. Im tired as I type and I hate how theses pointless things are going to make our grade. Ooo hhhhhh WELL.... Sooooo...... now what hmmm..... I'm unsure. Well what ever good enough.
In terms of work and school being extremely stressful, I can agree with you one hundred percent on that one. I am not going to lie at all, after being at Rhodes for a number of days, I felt really comfortable in my situation. I thought “hey, this is so much easier than high school, all I have to do is show up and BAM, I will get straight A’s for sure!” Well, after small amount of time passed by, I definitely noticed that I was completely and utterly wrong. In the past, I have been caught saying, “Oh my gosh, I was up until 1 a.m. finishing all of my school work last night, I am so tired!” Well, one a.m. looks like an early night in now for me. This is the first school semester that I had to pull over two days of no sleep, just to get my school course work and my work schedule in. Also, not to be a negative Nancy, but it would really help if some of my coworkers at my current job actually came into work and stopped taking 3 days a week off to “rest at home.” I am sorry, it probably sounds like I am going on a psycho rant about things, but, really, I don’t have any spare time to take my work hours, AND someone else’s all in one week. In terms of living spaces, it kind of depends where your job is. I know for a fact that Kalida has a few apartment houses that allow pets, but I probably wouldn’t recommend any one to live in this boring town, ha-ha. Well, best of luck to ya bud, just enjoy the radical ride we call life.
ReplyDeleteI completely know how you feel! I've actually wrote some similar posts on my own blog about how I feel the weight of the world is on my shoulders and at that time I truly felt that way :/ It sucked. I felt like everything and everyone was against me wanting me to fail at life. It seemed like everywhere I went there was a problem and I would come home and not even be able to sleep at night because I would worry so much about things. I hope you're not as bad as I was, but it can get overwhelming and draining. Just don't give up, that's all I can say. I've read a lot of great quotes and I know there are some in the Bible, I'm not sure if you go to church or any of that stuff, it doesn't matter, but when I feel like the weight of the world is on my shoulders, I always think about the verse that says, "God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able." I know it might sound cliche, but I know that whatever I'm going through that I will be able to handle it. You might feel like you're stuck in a rut but just know that what you're doing now and in school and everything is going to be beneficial and you'll succeed in life because of it. It might not seem like it now, but years ahead you'll look back and see it. Just some encouragement for the day! sorry for my rambling ha!
ReplyDeleteWhats up? bud, yeah I know how you feel I was thinking that exact same thing I just wanted to give up man. Working like 48 to 60 hrs and doing college full time was getting so over whelming. I was thinking that I made the wrong decision, and wanted to quit but I just had to keep telling myself that after this semester I was just going to go part time and only take like one or two classes and just go year round to make up for it, yeah it is going to take a little longer to finish but what is a couple years really. I will get my degree it is just going to take a bit longer. I have a decent job now but so like you I don't want to mess that up. Because possibly at some point they may pay for my college. So what I am really trying to say is just don't give up and just hang in there and just do your best you can take your time.
ReplyDeleteGood luck
I think it would be good to stay in school, or at least in some point in time go back. I understand that it can be stressful, but it will be worth it in the end. The pay will be better, and you will most likely be happy that you went back. I would look at it as if you make it through you prove something to yourself. You show that even though you have some stress you can overcome that. That is a good characteristic to have because it shows you can handle anything that is thrown your way. If you keep your head up it will all work out. In the end it is your life your decision. I have choices that I need to make, but my goal in them is to make myself happy. I think that you should do that because it is your life. In terms of the apartment I have no idea, but I do know that it is really hard to find a good place that will allow dogs. I feel like the only reason why is that they can disturb the neighbors. I think that if they know about it ahead of time there is no need to complain though. I feel that dogs are not that big of a deal in apartments as long as the person is responsible enough to take care of the dog you can have it. I hope everything works out for you! Have a great rest of the year!
