Life of an every day college student

It sure as hell has been raining a whole lot these past few days, and at the worst time too. Other than the fact that I have the world's worst umbrella (a slight breeze blows the dern thing inside out), I no longer have a valid parking pass during the day, so going to and from work has become quite a daily adventure. Add on top of that moving into a new duplex, scrubbing skunk out of a mattress, and running about a thousand errands every day you get my life as I am currently living it. The worse part is that school hasn't even started yet. Lord have mercy on my soul. We're looking at a 16-hour course load, 30-hours of work a week at one job and 20 at the other (yes, I will be working not one but two jobs this fall), lest we forget football games (which undeniably entails me to put in more work hours). In between all of that I have to find time to study, eat, sleep and spend time with Jordan. Just thinking about all of this is stressing me out so you can imagine the state I'll be in this fall semester. I successfully raised my GPA from an embarrassing number to a more appealing score over the summer and hope to continue the upward trend. However, being forced to work as much as possible just so I can get by on bill payments and have food to eat will throw me into a juggling routine, and I have never been much of a juggler. Then again, with all of the school work and job work I'll be doing in the next 15 weeks I may not have time to eat at all so maybe I won't have to worry about a food budget in the end.

But its just for one semester, right? Come the holiday season everything should be fine...right? Unfortunately, not in my case. Once December hits and I've gotten through the seven days of gray-hair raising, hell bent finals week I STILL have a load to carry. Obviously, the holidays require more money for gifts, money that I don't know I will ever have, and even though I my 16 hour school semester will have ended by then I'll still have to suffer through a minimester that I will be forced to take to catch up with my scholastic duties. So again I will be studying for a 4 hour class I'll be sitting through every day of the Christmas break and working as much as I possibly can to finance holiday gifts, bills, and OH WAIT, that cruise I am supposed to set sail on in May that I still owe money for. SON OF A BITCH. Hahaha.

So in the next three months I'll be working two jobs, living at the library (even though I am paying out the ass to live in a 2-story duplex), and trying to find time to be a normal every day college student. Hold on, wait, I think I may have just figured something out..... Isn't being broker than shit, eating Ramen every night for supper, and studying as much as you can in between finding time to spend with your boyfriend, friends, and family the life of an every day college student?

I guess I am all set then.
