The stresses of life...

So I am in the end of my Midterm Week. It has been...Stressful. With a lot of big tests, a big portion of my grade relies on the outcome of the grades I get this week. On a positive note, my math midterm I got back today was a 100% correct...Which made my day. But needless to say, college is...Hard. It's not too challenging (yet) of just general work, but it's challenging balancing it and life together.
  
 I have never really been a person to wake up early and doing it 4 days a week becomes a challenge. Either I am going to college, or going to work on the weekends. There is not a single day I don't have a commitment to something. After a while, it wears on the soul. The thing though is, this is also Fall Break for a lot of my friends and they are out, relaxing, and getting some R&R that they really need...I am jealous of them at this current moment. Life becomes stressful. And hard sometimes. Needless to say what's happened this past year for me so far has been a roller-coaster of school, emotions, stress, homework (lol), etc. Going from senior year to graduating to college has been an experience in itself.

Adjusting to the college lifestyle has been kinda hard in itself. My college (Georgia Highlands) doesn't have a lot of social things at my campus, so basically my friend count here is zilch. It's hard because I am so used to being around a big group of friends, at a local school, doing things constantly. Having such a dramatic change of social life effects one. I almost relate it to living on a deserted island...Although it's not "that" bad. I sometimes wish my personality was one that was a little more outgoing. I know I can't just be quiet anymore (it's starting to become an issue...Or at least I see it as such), and need to start branching out. But for me, that's an entirely new concept I don't want to accept...I guess I am so used to doing things the way I've always done them. They say college changes a person, but one thing I am trying to decide about my college career (so far) is for the better or worse? I guess only time will tell. But for now, staying strong and firm in my beliefs and will is my main priority. And then, just let God guide me from there...
