Famous Last Words: #StruggleBus
This past week I have realized that I have officially stepped onto the Struggle Bus. Before this week managing my 18 hours, work, interning, volunteering, and personal relationships was going well and then week 4 hit..
The beginning of the week I stuck to my normal schedule, and then some unexpected things hit in my internship and other online classes that diverted my attention away from this course this week. I actually missed writing my week four story, and I'm planning on writing a week 4 story later tonight just so everyone has something to comment on next week. Needless to say, I'm not all that proud of the work I put into this week, but I made up for missed assignments through extra credit.
I also started the week realizing I did the week 4 project assignment last week, and I was super excited about my idea that it was impossible for me to back track to last weeks and be creative because I was sold on my story project that I had already came up with.
This past week has consisted of homework every single day, excluding game day, for multiple hours. Needless to say, I'm exhausted.
My hopes for this week are that I can get off this struggle bus at the next stop, and get my life back together again. Which will consist of me not getting of my regular studying schedule and being on top of all my course work. I may have a few sleepless nights this week, but that beats drowning in the sea of homework I'm creating for myself right now!
My advice to every one in this course is not to take on 18 hours, a 12 hour internship, a 12 hour job, and volunteering in the same semester. Your asking for a front row seat on the Struggle Bus. Learn from my mistakes!

Briana, I noticed your post because of this fabulous graphic; I am going to have to save that to reuse, ha ha. And listen: no worries about the missing story from Week 4. Write your story for Week 5, not for Week 4... that's the whole idea: if you miss an assignment, just do some extra credit (which you are doing right now; super!), and move on to the next week: do the Week 5 reading, write a Week 5 story... and go go go. :-)
