| | There are a lot of things in college, and even in life in general, that you can quickly find to be pretty hard to keep; sanity, adequate hours of sleep, even vacation plans to visit others you know and love are made to be put aside as others come in. But what all 3 of these examples fall into is the one thing that I have observed is ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE to keep while living in college: a schedule.
Truthfully, I haven't participated in a lot of college events yet (and although my roommate thinks I don't care about that fact, I truly do), but the fact remains that even while attempting to hold some shred of control over what I am in and what I have left to attend and remember, I find myself constantly placing personal goals aside to fulfill more concrete and "necessary" actions regarding my classes and/or extra activities (which, don't get me wrong, I absolutely enjoy doing).
Has anyone else experienced the extreme stress this can place on a person yet? Perhaps the most obvious sign of my slowly going crazy lies in that EVERY SINGLE WEEK I have planned a replacing visit back home to both amuse my parents and try vainly to prove to them that I've actually been doing something constructive, an event has come up that absolutely must be tended to, perpetually pushing back my hopes of actually seeing humans who have tolerated me for longer than most people would consider a normal amount of exposure.
I'm slowly adapting, yes, although the repercussions of some of this change have effects even for those not a part of it (as is evident by the lack of regular updates here this week), and perhaps I can find solace in the fact that there's SOMEONE out there having a crappier time than myself.
Plus, I love life in general, absolutely embrace it. It's just as random as I am, so we find a lot to laugh about. Except when people walk by and wonder why the hell I'm laughing by myself while leaning back in a desk chair with the computer off.
That gets kind of awkward.
