#goodfirstday

Well, I survived my first day of my newly, artistic school life. I felt satisfied with my first two classes; I hope it goes well with my third tomorrow. I am not sure what to expect and I don't want to raise my expectations or lower them based on anything.

I think I've accomplished this goal. I am still very excited to see what is to come, and so far I am happy with what I have received.

I AM currently only taking three classes at this point in time to raise my GPA. I understand the pain of not reaching even a one-point-something, and it's an unpleasant feeling when you know you're trying your hardest. It brings you down and causes a flash of panic that lasts far too long.

I had this feeling of having to take on a weight load that was too large for my own shoulders when it came to everything. I'm still working on not doing this, but this first step in my classes is a huge deal for me. I thought I HAD to take five/six classes a semester; I HAD to go to work and be sure not to get distracted by school; I HAD to finish my homework even if I didn't understand it; blah, blah blah!

Let me tell you, it's not worth your happiness or your health when you do things like that! I procrastinate enough with a life (ha, ha), so how was I supposed to do that with stress too? If you're taking more than four classes, I believe in you, but I also hope you know that you're not obligated to do anything. You have life and with that comes YOUR OWN choices.

^ Something I need to remember. ^

Overall, I think I will obtain a high GPA, a happy outlook, and a positive attitude throughout this semester and I hope it remains and is true to stay.

(PS: I saw this on a bathroom stall and couldn't help taking a picture!!!)
