The morning hours are slowly creeping upon 5 a.m. and I have not slept since I woke up almost 24 hours ago. I am continuing to study for my two exams tomorrow, one in business statistics and another in retailing, since I do not feel prepared at all. On top of stressing out about exams (which, in my opinion, are pointless) and other course work, I have my own personal life getting in the way along with sorority recruitment, PRSSA worries and being sick. All of this is just starting to pile up on me, creating a large mound of stress. I know that once tomorrow passes, I will feel better. However, these late nights are making me want to graduate.
I feel that if this is what enjoying college is about, then what will the real world be like? I do not want to go from being a ball of stress to an even greater mass of nerves, as this isn't a way to live your life. I am not posting this for sympathy, as I know everyone is under the same amount of pressure and stress. I am writing this to take a break from studying probabilities, breaking bulk and to keep my sanity. If you see me looking like a zombie today, please don't point out how tired I look - believe me, I am well aware.

Being someone in the real world I don't know that I agree with that persons statement. Yes the real world has its stress, but at the end of the day you can leave the stress at work. At the end of the day you don't have homework to do or drama to put up with. You go home, put on sweats, lay on the couch and enjoy your evening. Also when it is Friday at 5 its the weekend and you don't have to decide whether to go out or study and stress on Sunday about all the work you have to do.
The biggest plus I see is that at least in the real world you get paid for the stress you are under. In college you are paying the people that put you under stress.
