Real Life's a B****

You'll have to excuse my french, but I need to rant.

It might seem to the average reader of this blog (all 5 of you), that I'm pretty stress free with all the activities that have been going on. But actually, I'm really really stressed!! All that was just a facade/distraction put up by me to shield my self from real life. And real life sucks. REALLY sucks.

First is the decision of Grad School vs. Job.

If I choose grad school, then that means I have to:
  1. find the right schools
  2. ask professors for recommendation letters
  3. fill out application
  4. order transcript
  5. do good on the GRE
  6. wait in agony for Lord knows how long
  7. IF I'm accepted, apply for financial aid.
What if my professors say no?
What if they say yes but don't mail the letter out in time?
What if I suck at GRE?
What if i don't get in?
What if i don't want to go to Lubbock/Oklahoma/Louisiana?
What if i can't get money??

If I choose Job, then i have to:
  1. Find a job that I'm qualified for
  2. apply
  3. Interview
  4. Find references
  5. WAIT IN AGONY
What if I can't find one that I'm qualified for?
What if i don't wanna work on a effin boat for 6 weeks????
What if i run into African pirates and die a painful death under their machetes?


AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



ok, so maybe that last one isn't very plausible but African pirates exist!!

So my advise for those of you who are still in college:

Stay!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't ever leave!!!

What's that? Your parents say 7 years is too long for undergrad??

Lies!!!!! 7 years is perfect! as a matter of fact you should throw in an extra year just to cushion the blow of HARSH REALITY


You have been warned.
