My Junior year was the hardest stretch of my college experience so far. I did lots of writing and stayed busy in other parts of my life as well. I took an easier schedule for the beginning of my Senior year, Fall 2008.
As I'm looking back, it seems like the easier schedule made it harder. I wasn't constantly challenged by school, so when school started getting tough it was harder to get adjusted. Also, I've been moving out of the undergrad experience, making it even harder to stay motivated to do my day to day tasks. Becoming more involved in student publications hasn't made anything easier either.
In any case, my semester is nearly done. I'm happy--I can get back to working on this site and getting involved in the community again.
