Im like..
trying to get my gpa up still
it's gonna be a while for me homie
I have to do post bacc
my gpas increasing but like
very slowly
dossdude44: ah really u planning on doing post bac?
me: yeah man
it's fine though
I dont mind it at all
I feel like
whats the rush you know
and I dont want to burn myself out
I just wanna take things one step at a time
dossdude44: true
hmmmm
me: and make sure to do well in all those things
dossdude44: maybe i should consider that too
me: you know what I mean
because like
freshman and soph year
I'd try to pack all this shit
into one semester
work
do activities
and as a result get bad grades
or fail
and like
it's not just that
it's like
yesterday
I saw one of my old floormates who graduated this past year
and she was telling me how her grades were decent
because she was like a devout studier
but the sacrifice that she made was taking time to have fun
dossdude44: ah
ic
she studied so hard she didn't have much time for herself?
me: and so she was telling me how much she regretted that
not much at all
and it's not just that man
I dont know
I just feel like
whats the rush
plus like if we take a little time off
then we can get real world experience
they always tell us
apply when you feel that you are the best qualified applicant"
honestly right now I dont feel that way
and I need more time and real world experience
even this dude I know who goes to UCSF
was like saying how he regretted going straight in
I know that my family needs the money and that there's hella things that they're dealing with, but I know that this is what I must do
and that I will do it
and I have no other options
and so...
yeah...
that's kind of where i'm at my friend.
dossdude44: dam
lol
looks like you've put alot of thought into this
me: yeah man... more than you can imagine...
this is what I want for myself and others...
