I think that message of this is extremely powerful, especially seeing how much pressure is put on higher education (or is that just the pressure I put on myself? hah). After going through three semesters it has become increasingly obvious to me how difficult it is to maintain grades, have a job, be social, and have time for yourself. I applaud those who can maintain all aspects of their lives (like seriously, YOU ROCK), however, I am not one of those people. I have put myself through hell the past two semesters trying to make it work, and enough is enough for me. Change will not come if I keep repeating this pattern.
By no means am I saying I am quitting school, because that is not my intent. With that being said though I am dramatically cutting my course load for the next semester. This will give me the time to excel in the classes I decide to take, as well as have time to grow myself as a person and to explore all the possibilities I have in my life.
After all, 'no homework assignment is more important that actually living your life'.
