WHADDDUPP?
Hey! I feel like I haven't seen anyone in forever. Right now it's snowing outside (say what?). I'm not prepared to break out my winter clothes, because I feel like I haven't worn my fall ones enough! Fashion crisis. haha jk. So, let me tell you what's on my mind. I love Purdue, seriously. But I'm considering transferring out of engineering because I really want to do journalism. I love writing and hate math. I have a D in math right now. I've never had a D!!! ever! And if I fail, I'll be 2 semesters behind (because I started in Pre-Cal, not Calc 1). ugh. But the main reason I came to Purdue was for engineering, and it's costing me $40,000 in loans each year. So if I switch my major to journalism, what would be the point of going here because I could go in-state in KY for like $10,000 a year. Poop. But Purdue is my favorite and I don't want to leave. I'm so conflicted. hahaha. I guess I'll just bust my ass (are we allowed to cuss on here...sorry, I just did) until the end of the semester and try to get my grade up. On top of this, my grandma passed away so I've missed a lot of school and school work. A lot of times I just don't have the mental willpower to complete my assignments. Bleh. You know how your eyes twitch when you're stressed out? Mine won't stop! I've missed a buncha blog posts and web assign homeworks and like 4 lectures from going home. And i have 2 tests early next week. booooo :( And then of course there's my grandma's will and family...craziness..that i'd prefer not to deal with. I was not expecting all this!

It's been such a hard time for you girl, and here I thought I was the only one going through a mess.. It's going to be fine, plus you're a strong person :) And math, don't stress much. It's a great subject, and you would pass it with good grades if you go through your homeworks allover again before the finals. That's a good way to begin.. Goodluck! Let me know if I could be of any help! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that you've been going through a lot, but you like Roshni said, you will get through all of this. This is what makes people stronger. About the cold, I don't even have winter clothing. I've never experienced an Indiana winter and am not looking forward to it. I'm also considering to change my major.... (Jayne)
ReplyDeleteIt is going to be okay. :) Don't worry everyone is under some sort of stress. We understand. I definitely agree with Roshni and Josh. You are so strong and you will get through this and you will make the right choice. I have here if you ever need me! We should go get Starbucks sometime! :) Just take it all one step at a time. You will be fine and everything is going to be okay! and congrats on initiation! (Jayne)
ReplyDeleteI am going to resist all urges to give advice here, and simply say, good luck~ I'm sure you will succeed at whatever you put your mind to! And, I can totally empathize with the math thing... It was not my strong suit either.
ReplyDeleteKarlyn, I am so sorry to hear that you have been having a hard time. College, as I keep telling myself, is not easy. However, you have clearly been going through a lot more than an average college student. Loosing your grandmother is no fun what-so-ever. Trust me, I understand because I have gone through the same. I considered my grandmother as my second mom and when I lost her, the emptiness was unbearable. However, I later realized that death is a part of the cycle of life and sooner or later, it will come to get each and everyone of us. Moving on to Math, I too am having EXTREME difficulties. I struggle through every question that I encounter, be it homework or exams, while the rest of my classmates tackle them with ease. All I can advise you is to be honest with your homework and be regular to your lectures. I hope things get better with you as we progress towards the end of this semester. ENGL 106
