Classes are stressful, and professors are constantly telling you how you will never put enough time into their class. On top of this, one would probably want a social life, some friends, maybe even free time? When people think about college, they usually imagine parties, road trips, and even sleeping in all the time.
My college experience has been nothing like what they're advertised to be.
Being a music major and member of Showband, life is practically impossible. Want a job? Well they'll have to work around our rehearsal schedules? Have a family member pass away? You better keep a copy of the program for proof that you were actually at the funeral. It's a completely different world here in RFA, and sometimes it seems like Purgatory in the flesh. There have been plenty of times when i've just completely forgotten to eat. Have you ever been so stressed, that you forgot about a basic necessity of life? This is what happens when we have recitals, performances, rehearsals, lessons, and teachers who pile up quizzes like they're fluffy pillows in the beds we never get to sleep in. We take naps upstairs on benches, and occasionally in the practice rooms.
It sounds pretty horrible...which it is, but if wasn't for the people in this building, I would have lost my mind first semester freshman year. These people have seen me through panic attacks, tears, sleep exhaustion, and extreme fits of anger; yet somehow they still love me! sometimes... We are a misfit family and are the only reason we can stand being in this program.
I wish my life wasn't so hectic, I would give anything to be able to graduate right this very second, but I wouldn't change a single one of these people here with me.
They are a part of my life, and they are what makes it so special! They accept me for the total spazz that I am, all because we've been through hell together, and no one else understands that feeling.
