i am overwhelmed. school started two weeks ago and i don't think i have ever been so busy in my life.
why do we do this to ourselves? why do we take on more than we can handle? i am taking 15 credit hours this semester and working 20 hours a week. everyone else takes that many credits and works just as much, if not more, so why am i complaining? i really have no good reason, i just am not used to being this busy. i try to talk to my parents about this and then my dad gives me his standard lecture..."i went to byu and took 18 credits hours and worked full-time and had a wife and child and graduated at the top of my class. so get over it, sister." i just roll my eyes and mumble something under my breath like "yeah, and that was 30 years ago" and then he won't believe that it is harder now. well it is. i just feel like if i am not in class, i am in the sewing lab or at work. if i am not in any of those places i am doing homework in my bedroom or asleep. how am i supposed to have friends? am i just supposed to throw away the funnest years of my life for school? i don't think so. but then i have to remind myself that i am here to go to school and get an education so i can go live in the real world (which is going to happen way too soon). what am i to do? quit my job? i would love to. too bad i am not a trust fund child and would have to live on the streets. the real solution is to just find myself a sugar daddy. i can probably "handle" all of this, but i don't think i will be able to do any of these things nearly as well as i could if i had enough time to spend on them.
can someone please feel sorry for me?

I feel sorry!!!!i mean, p, sweetie, i'm taking 12 credits, working like 27hrs a week, and well, i'm right there with ya. school is a fun-sucker and a life ruiner!!
i feel sorry for you too.
i wish i could tell you it gets better. :)
I totally know how you feel. I'm working full time (40+) hours a week & going to school at night. Not taking that many credit hours but going after a long day at work it sucks. I think we have to suffer through the few years of school & after that, we have the whole rest of our lives to play & not have to ever worry about school again! Think how much it will pay off in the end :)
oy, i get the same feedback from BOTH of my parents. it's ridiculous.
After todays lunch, you know I am living your same life. Why are we so stressed and crazy right now? P.S. I love how you wrote about this on your blog!
