More stresses of College Life
By Marissa Cianchetti
Even though I am not in sports season, my life is still busy. I think I might actually be busier now than two months ago. Even though golf is over, I still have only made two parties, and one was because it was homecoming. The second, I went out for the Halloween party on Tuesday.
This will be the last time I go out for the rest of the semester. I think this year I have spread myself too thin and I am involved in too much. For example, I have sorority stuff to do; Big Brothers/Big Sisters; preparing for spring golf season; friends to see; and not to mention all my school work. Besides this week, for the rest of the semester I have a test or paper every week, and one week I have two tests and paper.
Talk about busy! I thought after golf season, I could get my social life back, but instead I feel I have less of a social life. I sit in my room or in the library for countless hours, doing work that never seems to end, until I can’t read anymore. At least during golf season I was doing homework with my team. Someday I know it will pay off. However, for the next two and a half years my schedule is going to be so tight since I am a double major and have almost the same amount of classes I need to take and slots I have left.
See, I have 19 classes I have to take to graduate and I have only 23 slots to fill. At Centre, since it such a small school, there is a lot of overlapping conflict, so I am on a strict schedule. Thinking about all this stuff makes my head spin, and makes my blood pressure go through the roof.
If I last through the next two years without a heart attack I will be very grateful, but then I will have to hope I get a job before I get kicked off my parent’s health insurance plan. This is all too much for me, and I also have to remember that I have to be practicing golf because if not my average will go up. I am not even sure if that’s possible because it is about as high as it can get right now.
Believe you me, as Dusty would say, I cannot wait for Christmas break.
