I would like to discuss something that many people don't think about when being an adult. I will try my hardest to keep this sweet and simple. This topic can be helpful to some and others may look at this post and think "finally someone said what we have all been thinking!". I hope you enjoy the first of many posts!

One, We are not avoiding you. We have a lot of stuff going on, in such a little time. Two, the lack of sleep comes with both jobs. Yes, I did just refer to school as being a job. There is a lot of time and work that goes into keeping good grades, doing all of your homework, along with everything else that goes along with school. Three, we are doing our best to keep afloat with everything we are taking on. This is a challenge not only mentally but also physically. Finally, Most of us that take on this challenge don't really have the choice.

For example; I am one of the people who have to work and go to school full time. There can be multiple reasons for this situation such as; that person might just like to stay busy and going to school just doesn't cut it. Another could be financials like me. This has a lot to do with me being a dependent at home and FAFSA believes that my parents make a horrendous amount of money. What FAFSA does not take into consideration is how much my parents fork out in bills and student loans of their own.

I hope this piece gives you a little more insight into what it means to be a full-time student and employee. I know I am not the only person in the world that works a full-time job and goes to school as well. But, If you are one of the people who do not do this task I hope this helps you understand a little of why we all do this crazy thing.
