College Stress!

Hey Hey!

So, this is my first blog post ever and I'm not even too sure anyone will be able to see this, but here goes!
While all adults say 'College isn't just fun and friends, theres a lot of study to it aswell', or 'once the term really begins, the college work begins to pile up', I always thought that it was just something they had to say but didn't actually mean like 'eat your veg to grow up big and strong' or 'be on your best behaviour and someday we might come back and get you that big dollhouse you wanted' (never actually happens). I always thought that it was just a standard warning and precaution they did so that we didn't only think about the social aspect of college, but think about the learning opportunities also! Didn't everybody? Well, after recently starting what seems to be the hardest course EVER, I have come to realise that they really mean business this time! So while I spend my whole summer thinking of all the cray cray stuff I'll be doing in college, like going on ski-trips, or going on charity sky-dives, going to amazing partay's or taking the occasional chill pill with my new-found homies, not even thinking about the possibility of having to even open a book before Christmas, apparently everybody else in my course was doing the exact opposite, and preparing for the course itself, and not the future social endeavours! So now, heres me, with a mind full of cool-ass party theme ideas, and not a word of French or Italian in sight :)

I'm currently studying (well, trying to) French and Italian, in Trinity College in Dublin, and even after only being in college for four short weeks, have managed to let every little thing any teacher has mentioned, slip right through one ear, and out the other. To make matters worse, it seems like every one of my fellow Trinners somehow have the ability to catch, process, and remember every detail that wafts past their little listeners (their ears hehe). Not only that, but does anyone else feels like momma's can sense when you're stressed, and seem to get a kick out of adding to it, or trying to see how much agitation they can get out of you?! I mean, you'd think that if they saw you lazing around doing nothing, they would have the cop on to realise that you are TRYING to de-stress and the most they should do to annoy you should be asking you what type icecream you would like :) Not 'Jenni, when are you gonna get a job' or 'Jenni, why don't you seem to have any college work to do' (emm, hello, why do today what you can do tomorrow, right?) or 'Jenni, stop using the dog as a foot rest and leave some food for the rest of the family, we have to eat too!' I mean seriously, a gurl can't catch a break!

So basically, with momma troubles, college bothers, and (lack of ) income predicaments, I decided that the only way to solve my problems is to write a blog post about it of course :D
Thanks guys for anyone who managed to stay with me throughout my #RelateableRant and my horrendous spelling and grammar, and hope to speak to y'all soon! See yaaaa <3
