Well classes have started back up, for those of you who are college students, how hard is it to get back into the grind?
Things are a little different for me this year, my first three years of school I was an athlete, so really...my mind was already set on the school year as I was working out and preparing for the basketball season so I was always by the school and waiting for the season to start.
This year, I am no longer playing basketball and I am working full time and it's just sitting there waiting for me to start and I cant get to it.
I had such high goals for myself for school and my basketball career, but they were shot down by things out of my control and the school has left a really sour taste in my mouth. Me and the President don't get along at all, my biggest goal of becoming an Academic All-American (I have a 3.8 overall GPA) is out the window and I am having a really hard time setting goals for myself because of what was taken away and my distaste for the school.
I could have went else where to continue my basketball career, but with only two years of eligibility left, only D3 schools were offering. I turned down Hiram, Lake Erie College and Geneva College...they only offered $25,000 of an education that cost upwards of $35,000. I pay for school on my own so I couldnt afford it. Despite the situation at my school, they were honoring scholarships so I decided to stay....
But it's just so tough, with all the circumstances, to get my focus and to get going in my classes.
Since I am working full time, I am taking all my courses online and Ive taken a good portion of them this way and it is really a real test of self motivation. It's a ton of reading but for the most part, it is easy...I just cant get started.
Blah..
