In high school and growing up I always was the kind of person that would take honors classes and try to get ahead in school. I've always pushed myself to the max. I was going to graduate college early because I had credits from high school but I changed majors and it set me back so I would graduate on time.
But, this week I realized something after attending the first three days of my new semester. I think I was pushing myself too hard. The second day of class I had to stay up till midnight just to get my homework done and already had over 30 hours of homework to do this next week. I realized this wasn't living. Why did it matter so much to push myself this hard in school. I need to enjoy life. So, I dropped a class. Something I've never done before. My semester will still be challenging and that's ok. But, taking it a little easier will allow me to do other things that I enjoy. I love school but I want to grow in other area's of my life as well.
Because I dropped a class I might have to graduate a semester later then I was planning. But, I'm ok with that because I'll still get my degree and I'll enjoy my life more in the mean time. Sometimes people just need to do something for themselves.
Life is supposed to be enjoyed, not rushed through.
