Time is Slipping Away
While we did have guidance counselors in high school who tried to prepare us for the college experience, I seem to have gone into it with my eyes closed. I knew that the work would be tougher and that I would spend a lot more time studying, but I never realized exactly how many research papers I was going to have to write.
In high school, it never seemed like we were working on more than one at a time, but in college, it seemed like I was writing a termpaper for every single class that I was taking. I was spending so much time writing that I seemed to neglect everything else in my life, including my relationships.
I understand why high school sweethearts often break up in college. I was spending so much time on my term papers, that I had absolutely no time for anyone else and was very thankful that I did not have a boyfriend. That would have really complicated matters. That is, unless he wanted to write some of these papers for me.
