Changing Your Plan Is OK

Going on a different path can be best for us.

Furman has been the most adventurous moment in my life and I always talk about the bright side of it. I want to talk about something that's not as joyful but I know will be better in the long run.

Going to college is exciting and fun because that's where all the dreams come true and more. That's the place where you have things in order so after you graduate, everything will be in place. There are times when things do change. For instance, friendship, relationships, and sometimes life plans.

I came to Furman because I wanted to major in Business. I had to take Introduction to Economics in order to be able to major in Business. I was fine with that because this is the way to get towards my dreams. I get to Furman and I had all these high exceptions about my freshman year and taking the class. I knew the class would be hard because Economics requires a lot have time and study. I told myself and people I can take on the challenge. To be honest as two months went by, I realized I was actually struggling in that class which made me feel bad because I would study so much and work so hard in that class. It seemed like the harder I worked, the more I would fail. I had other classes that required so much of my time. I was going through personal issues also in the process.

I started thinking what I should do in that class because I didn't want to continue to fail and get a grade I know I don't deserve. I talked with my professor and she cared so much about me that she said she wouldn't feel comfortable giving me a grade that doesn't match with my effort I put in that class. I talked with my advisor and I made the decision to drop the class.

Yes, it was hard because I felt like things were out of order but I realized that plan A didn't work. I need to go to plan B.

In life, we go through things which causes you to change plans. Yes, it sucks but most of the time it be for the best. We have many dreams and goals in life. We try to go on a path that we think we need to go on to accomplish those dreams but sometimes that's not the case. Things happen in life because we need to be in on a different path in life so we will be able to accomplish those goals. If plan A don't work, go to plan B but if that plan don't work go to plan C. The point I am trying to make is that you have to through each plan until one works best for you. While planning things life, there are some changes in plans. Don't give up on those dreams just have faith and believe things will work out for the best.

Right now, I am trusting in God and his plans for me. I know I will find where I need to be and maybe business isn't for me. Maybe it's something else and God trying to tell me. I know this isn't the end, it's just the beginning to a blessing.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
