University Life

It's been a while since I've posted anything, let alone even thought about this blog. In the beginning I was so obsessed with it and I thought I'd be able to make something big out of it. Unfortunately, as I expected, school has taken over my life. I am in my first year of university as a science student and it is A LOT of work. It's hard though because none of my family or friends seem to understand just how much stress I'm under--hardly a surprise seeing as they were all arts or business students, no offence. I'd love to just make them spend a week going to all of my classes, doing all of my assignments etc etc. It can also be very hard to talk to them about my subjects as they have no idea what I mean when I refer to "angular quantum numbers" or any other typical chemistry terms. At the moment I am taking Biology, Calculus, Chemistry, and Physics, it is most definitely not easy but I'm getting through it. University has kind of been a shock, and what I mean by that is, I went from being a straight A student in high school to an average joe in university just hoping to "pass" all my exams. I've considered switching into business so I can work in fashion, but then I realize I have zero interest in marketing and all that kind of stuff and I would really prefer not to spend my whole life working my way up the "corporate ladder". For now I will stick with my goal of med school as hard as it may seem to achieve at this point in time. I am looking forward to the year where I can actually start taking courses that I'm interested in and not ones that I despise (aka calculus). Maybe if I'm lucky i'll become on of those blogs/youtube channels that gets "discovered" and make my living from that, wouldn't that be nice. Of course for that to happen I would have to devote a lot more time to blogging which quite frankly I have zero time for. This post may seem really depressing but I promise you I am happy it's just hard to show it when I spend all of my time studying. For now, all I can do is countdown the days until Hawaii at Christmas (and the 5 exams I have between now and then...). 

Well, time to study for my chemistry midterm on Monday...

Much love,

Emma

PS-to all you other university/college students out there who feel my pain, good luck with everything and stay focused!
