Dinner

Tonight at dinner my parents adn I had an interesting conversation. I told them how I just don't feel like myself, I am in a little funk, a crossroads in my life. I am a junior in college dealing with a huge amount of stress, yet trying to still have fun, and get everything finished. Its pretty hard. I have given up my social life to complete 18 credits, work two jobs, volunteer, and train for a half marathon. Your probably like this girl is crazy! Yes I think that too myslef when I lay down exhausted every night. UT is my third school, the best school that I have been at academically, but socially this place is the worst experience I have ever had. I feel like I don't fit in for the first time in awhile. I don't know how to explain it, but Tampa is much different. The people are very different. Part of me wants to be done with college, but the other part of me is waiting for it to get better. I use to hear people say that college is the best years of your life.HA! I would have to say the hardest years at this point. My Dad told me tonight at dinner that right now is the time I am creating the best years of my life with hard work. He told me that right now it may be hard, for me but it will only be hard if I give up. I am not giving up! I just am in a little drought within my ownself. I know in time things will maybe seem better, but I will just keep working hard, because you never know what can happen tom. I fly back tom to start another week. I'm telling myself right now that it is going to be a good week! i hope.......................
