College is all just a huge game. A game to see who can balance the most school work, a social life, work, paying for bills, and staying emotionally and physically healthy. It's almost the definition of impossible to balance every last one. So I'm going to take a few minutes to just complain about how much college is kicking my ass.

It's my junior year, I am supposed to have everything under my belt at this point, and I don't. First of all, I thought it would be a genius idea to move out of my parents house with less than $1,000 to my name. That was just so smart. I am going to end this week with a total of eight dollars in my bank account once all of my bills go through. Oh, and I'm basically out of gas in my car, so that's where that eight dollars will be going.

Last year, I decided not to take French anymore because my favorite professor was not teaching the higher level courses. I would have much rather changed my degree back to a bachelor's of science rather than taking french with someone other than him. My adviser talked me out of that, and convinced me to start french up again this year. BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE. Currently, I have a solid "D" in the class, and have about two-hundred note cards of vocabulary I need to learn.

FRENCH: 1 KELSEY: 0

Work is just a walk in the park as well, because I am so busy with school I can only work Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I typically work the closing shifts which kind of sucks because typically the closer makes the least amount of money. So with my hours having to be cut back I make about half of what I did during the summer, and it is showing. I honestly think I have been living off of bread and peanut butter for the past two weeks. College man, college.

Ask me about my social life please. It's nonexistent. If I'm not in class or at work I am either in bed asleep, or hitting the books. My social life basically consists of me texting people apologizing for how much I have going on and that I can't hangout because if I do that will interfere with whatever project or paper I have due the next day.

Basically, college has made me realize I do not want to "adult". I want to be obligated to go to school Monday through Friday, have little homework, and always have the weekend off the play with my friends, go to football games, and spend time with my family. College is really kicking my ass at the moment.

But...

Life goes on.
