Struggles

Back in high school, everyone talked about how much harder college was going to be and how everything was going to be a lot different. Of course I thought it would be different, but I had confidence in myself that I could handle everything and that nothing would go wrong. Turns out, I was wrong and everything went wrong. Where do I begin…

Well the first few weeks of college were pretty easy and I didn’t have any troubles or concerns. I was rushing at the frats which made everything seem even more awesome. But then, like a brick wall, I got swine flu. I was suddenly behind in all of my classes when I was doing so well and, even worse, pledging started the day I got back. I went from being a happy, free, healthy and care-free guy to overwhelmed, worried and sick slave. Not the best combination.

As if my life didn’t suck enough already, my computer decided it didn’t like me and hatched an evil plot to ruin my grades. So it broke down the same week I got back from swine flu. It took the people at ITS almost two weeks to get around to fixing my computer and giving it back to me. Lucky, I didn’t lose any of my files or anything. So I wasn’t too pissed… until it happened again. Stupid computer. Never before have I wanted to throw an electronic device off the top of a building so badly. But for real, that is ridiculous for it to happen twice in a three/four week span. In addition to that, I recently found out that none of my blogs have been posting and that I am extremely far behind on my blog.

So far I have gotten sick once and my computer broke twice. To even things up, I got mono. This put more of a burden on me as I was just catching up from everything I missed with swine flu. You would think that getting sick twice in a semester would hurt your grades a little. Well that is false… it hurt my grades A LOT. For the first time in my years going to school, I am projected to get a C in one of my classes, maybe even two.

I thought college was going to be awesome. Well, only some of it. Being independent and doing whatever you want and going to parties is awesome. Everything else, not so much.
