Cause you had a bad day...
So I hate to be a downer but I have not been in the best mood this week. I guess I'm experiencing the usual freshmen syndrome in which I feel like I don't exactly fit in. Everyone keeps telling me that I just need to make the transition into college but I don't think that's the problem. I was used to college after about the first week of fall semester. I went to all of my classes, studied hard and worked towards getting those credits towards my major. This semester though, the freshmen syndrome has gotten worse. I find myself wondering why I'm taking all these classes that I don't enjoy to receive a major in something that I may never work in. To receive a major in biology (and possibly go to med/vet school), I have to take Physics 1/2, Calculus 1/2, all the chemistrys offerred, a few business classes and way too many labs. And I'm definitely not that great in those areas. I enjoy biology so I want to take biology classes. It's depressing to think about all the other amazing kids working to get into med and vet school; that's major competition. I also find myself going to state more and more over the weeks so I can spend time with my boyfriend and friends. I know it's a UNC sin to go over to state (at least its not duke) but its nice to be among people who know and care about you

I know it seems like its hard being up here away from the people you know care about you, but trust me this experience will make you stronger as a person, and the stronger you are the more people you will attract to you and you will gain lifelong friendships. And as far as your classes and your major make sure that Biology is something you truely have a passion, and not just something you are doing for future job benefits. when choosing a major you should choose something that you have fun at and you dont necessarily feel like your working when your doing it all the time. Just have fun and enjoy this time of your life. I promise it will all work out for your best interest in the end.
