Ain't that the ******* truth. My first year in college I had to take 17 credits and work 35-40 hours of manual labor a week. First semester of my second year of college I got mono, so I had to drop a semester which put me behind a year because of ******* engineering pre-requisite setups. Not only that, but it ****** me up for a while and I lost all of my gains and reverted back to hungry skelly for half a year, my dog died very suddenly, and I wasn't fully recovered next semester so my attendance was pretty ****** and I barely pulled C's. My third year first semester (which was last semester) my classes had gotten really hard and I was still working way too ******* much, so I ended up failing most of my courses. This semester was spent mostly doing catch up and I am doing okay academically, but my ****** immune system means I keep getting sick a ton which is ******* my grades again due to my college's retarded attendance policy. I'm just ******* done at this point.
Ten to one your experience will be better. My experience has sucked due to my situation being **** before I ever went to college, except college intensified it. Just don't be poor or get sick and you'll be k.
