I should be studying right now, but I'm not

[furyfulninja]

The idea that an entire year has passed since I finished my freshman year is nigh unfathomable. Did I even do anything worthwhile? I got a job. I learned some stuff. I made some new friends. I feel so inadequate compared to other people. Wasn't Joan of Arc like a teenager when she led a French army or something? I am SO behind

Are you out of your mind? There are no French armies. LOL. I'll be back later tomorrow night if you wanna gimme a ring, that is, if you're not busy or working or anything.

finding a boyfriend is not an accomplishment---it is a slow suicide committed with a very sweet tasting poison. Besides, a watched pot never boils. Furthermore, you are not behind. I am on academic probation and will be kicked out of school in January if I do not raise my GPA next semester. I have no money, a stack of bills I can't pay, and a child, not to mention the fact that it is a daily battle to maintain my sanity (or what's left of it). And yes, I had expectations of myself to be a famous doctor, writer, politician, model, wife and mother and to use my speeches and books to convince Palestine and Israel to "live together in harmony". You are not really behind. Some things just cannot be rushed. I am starting from square one, and you are a few years closer to achieving your goals than I am to achieving mine. I'm just saying don't be so hard on yourself, if anyone knows what it's like to feel like a total failure I do. Cheer up. Oh, and you are going to have to get the French pissed off about something if you want to lead them in
