Why does everything seem to be going wrong?
Lately, I have been more stressed out than ever. I’m worried about so much right now. I don’t know where my life is taking me. It seems like everything is just falling apart. I’m entering my second year of college. I transferred from a small private school to a relatively big public university (but it’s out of state). It’s closer to home so that I don’t have to worry about flying back and forth, but it still requires a good amount of driving (about 6 hours away from home). Classes start soon, and I have run into a whole bunch of problems that need to be taken care of right away. My biggest concern is housing for next year. The school has an urban campus, so I absolutely have to find an apartment. The thing is that I have no idea how to go about finding one. I’m so worried and confused; I just don’t know what to do. Moving into an apartment doesn’t make my parents too happy; it’s going to cost a lot. I’m so focused on my education that I don’t want to have to take time off to save money for the rest of college. I’m hoping to take out some loans, but I don’t want to graduate with a lot of debt. Maybe I shouldn’t have transferred and just stayed at my old school, even though I wouldn’t be happy. My parents have been separated for over a year now, although they’re not divorced. My mother is the only one employed but barely making enough to raise her four children. I feel so bad for her. I wish I could do more to help, instead of spending money on college. But, I know it will be better in the long run if I stay in school. I guess I’m at a stage where I’ve lost a sense of direction in life. I’m wondering where it’s taking me.
