So my freshman year is over. I'd say it was successful. First semester I had really great grades, and second semester I...well, I had fun. Next year, I'll work on maybe combining the two.

I am feeling demoralized. And sick. And pathetic. And a whole host of other things. My problem is, all of my issues can be resolved if I just get up and do everything I need to do. But I'm a shitty person ( Read more... )

Thank you,

Naadeyah.
