The title of this post is 'Back to School,' but I still have a few more days before it happens to me. However, many of my friends and family have returned to their studies and have started a new school year. Being in college, school consumes a huge part of my life. It is the place where I have spent the most time over the course of my life.
Think about it; aside from a few awkward years of learning to breathe, walk, and talk, and multiple summer vacations, winter breaks, and several sick days, I have spent every day in school. So, it makes sense that school would take up a lot of my thoughts, time and energy. It is also a major stress agent in my life.
This year the biggest thing I am stressing over is whether or not I will be able to balance work and school. Originally I had not planned on work during the school year, but my job just kind of.... happened. So now, I'm stuck with balancing 20 hours of work and 15 credit hours of school per week. Yikes! It doesn't make sense to sacrifice my grades for more hours at a minimum-wage paying job, so if I feel the need to, I will ask for my hours to be reduced. I will do it if I have to, but getting to that point isn't going to be fun.
So I hope it all turns out all right. I apologize for my rant, but there is something therapeutic about writing your anxieties down and then throwing them into the abyss that is the Internet. All that aside, I hope to post after my first day of school (which is this next Monday) to let you know how things went.
