Why did nobody warn me??

Who let me do this to myself??

What the FUCK is going on here???

Hi, I’m Miranda and I’m a senior Business and Nutrition double major. I plan to graduate in May with Honors and chords and distinction beyond belief, but I don’t know if that is truly in the books for me anymore because goddammit this year is already fucking hard.  Each year, I come to school ready to party, meet new friends and root on our athletic programs- hell yes Frost Daddy and (almost) national champs volleyball!! I live for that!

But I ALWAYS forget how freaking hard it is to do the class part of college. The homework part of college really just screws us all over, to be honest. I don’t think any of us asked to be stressed all the time. None of the movies even talk about syllabus week continuing into assignment week as if any of us are mentally prepared for that. 

So here’s the bottom line. It is Monday, August 26 and I have already missed six assignments, four meetings and two classes. It’s not looking great for me. But, I’m here to vouch that this is not my fault. 

If I wanted to be pushed to use and use and overuse my brain, I would have gone to Harvard. But instead, I chose to stay in the middle of nowhere Nebraska and invest my time and money to sports- I know what we do best. 

I also know what I do best and I can tell you it’s not anything that happens in a classroom. To quote the classic, The Scientist, “nobody said it was easy. No one ever said it would be this hard.”
