Stay in college

not having my friends around to support me through this college thing is hard since they all dropped out and work part time jobs. it’s even more difficult listening to people tell me that my efforts to finish are not going to be worth it, that after i graduate i’m still going to be in the same place doing the same thing. i need to stay in school and make my parents proud as well as myself. i will appreciate it later. keep working!

Staying in college is a goal for you because that is what you want for yourself as of right now.

To reach this goal, there are a few things that must be kept in mind in priority:

Background Check: As of now, you are riding on your last chance to stay in college. This is your ultimate last chance. You have four days to get 2 months of work done for each of your classes.

If you can’t, you need to withdraw from this entire semester.

You have always known exactly what you are capable of doing, but knowing what you are capable of isn’t enough to pass.

You need to show completed work. You put so much effort into school, but never complete anything to hand in.

You need to make a choice. You cannot keep doing what you have always done: circle around the decision until the decision is made for you.

You get hurt in the end, anyway.

You need to stop breaking your own promises.

You get intimidated by what you need to get done, and never get anything done. This is a snowball effect of negative energy.

Do what you need to do.

You have many reasons as to why you are failing. It doesn’t matter how many reasons, though, you still failed.

You know what you have to do if you want to succeed.

Those reasons that excuse you from your success may be legitimate, but life is still moving forward. Getting help for those excuses are things that should be done on the side.

So Stay Strong. Do what is necessary. Seek help. Stay happy.

Make these decisions and follow through.

Make these decisions and follow through.

Act. Act. Act. Act. Act. Act.

Do. Do. Do. Do. Do. Do. Do. Do.

Already you know there is an unfathomable amount of work that needs to be done in four days. You also know that you love to socialize.

Keep your promises for the day. You only have one to fulfill. Eat dinner at some point. You made no other promises; friends had suggestions, but you have four days to do 2 months worth of work. You hate sacrificing sleep. You hate feeling/being unhealthy. So,

People who read this, don’t judge me..this helps me:
Plan according to priorities: Academics, Health, Leisure (excluding Thursday)

It’s tough—-especially when you take a lot of time off and are forced to take classes with teenyboppers..

But learning new things & meeting new people is worth it! 5 years ago
