College is tough. I don't find that it's hard as far as the material. It's just the possibilities of all the material that I'm studying. It's crazy that I'm really on a path that would lead me to my dreams. I've wanted to be a forensic Anthropologist since I was in the fifth grade. It's ridiculous to believe that I'm just a few classes away. That the information I'm learning now will really be the steps to get me there.
Its hard to acknowledge that I am an adult. No one is in control of what I am doing or what I want to do. It's all me. I didn't go to class this morning. In high school, I wouldn't have cared even in the slightest of ways, but I beat myself up for an hour about how bad the repercussions could be.
Being an adult is not just paying for everything yourself and waking up for things. It's much more than that. It's taking on a whole different scope of your life. You are the only one that punishes you or holds yourself to something. You're the only one that pays for your mistakes. Its quite daunting. Had someone tried to explain this to me a year ago I would not have listened. I don't think I could I have even processed what they were saying actually. This is a whole new way of living.
It's so much harder than it looks. Congrats to successful adults for something other than success.
