after

Hi there and welcome to Mylot! I'm not a student now, but I was for quite some time and I am slightly older than you but not by much. I'm 30 years old. I remember when I moved out on my own. I was very nervous and afraid but also excited. I think every young person gets scared when they have to make decisions. I worried about whether not I was doing the right thing. I wasn't sure what I was supposed to be doing. I didn't have the confidence in myself to make decisions easily. Just remember, try not to be too hard on yourself. We all make mistakes, that is how we learn. Do not be afraid to talk to other people, listen to their opinions and ideas, but don't forget to trust your instincts. If something doesn't feel good to you, take a step back and think about it. Decide what is right for you. You will know what that is by listening to your heart and in your relationship to God. As humans we don't have to be perfect and we don't have to know all the answers. We just have to try the best we can.

I'm in college and I can't wait to finish. Personally, I feel life in school is harder than life after school. I go to school 15 hours a week and don't get any pay for it. I have to dedicate at least 5 or so hours to homework every week. It's like a part time job. (Never mind the 2 hours it takes me everyday to commute). A lot of my friends finished last year and life is now easier for them. So, life in school is not easy for everyone.
