there are many times in life where i wake up thinking about how thankful i am for the smallest things in life. not to contradict that point, but lately it seems like i'm working my ass off and not moving forward in the least. some people say working 2 jobs, making no money, and having no life is normal for a college kid and i should be so lucky. and i would probably normally agree with that. but for some reason, i can't at this point. i feel like i should get to have a weekend at least every once in a while. i feel like i'm drowning slowly, and i'm barely keeping my nose above the water. gasping for breath of relief, and instead getting a mouth full of water. i travel back and forth between wisconsin and illinois constantly to keep the two jobs. you'd think living in chicago would make it easier to find a job, but man is it ever difficult to find something that will accommodate a lifestyle of most college goers. i can't work as a waiter cause my hands shake, plus coming home at 1 am to get up in a few short hours after doing homework until 4 am is not worth it. there's got to be a better way...God, if You're listening, i could really use Your help on this one. oh and if anyone else has some suggestions, feel free to throw them my way.

ah yes, the crossroads...
I feel you on this one, although I don't work any jobs. I'm going to do that when I'm done with school (the beauty of loans!), but maybe a breather is what you need. Take one, hit the road with someone you trust and get to the coast, any coast.
Take it easy broseph.
Many people look at starving kids in Africa and think, I feel so bad for them. I look at many adults in the Western world and think, if there's anyone to truly feel bad for, it you. Life will never disperse happiness, life is a struggle in every way. Hate, anger, greed, corruption, theft, money, power, war, drugs, etc... Not trying to make you think I'm negative, but that's the truth around this world. Yet, happiness comes from those who can purely understand that, and make the best out of their shitty situation. Otherwise you're caught trying make something that was created imperfect, perfect. Wake up and look around you...don't deny what's there, but don't dwell on make an imperfect situation, negative. If a starving kid in Africa can smile and make it through the day, you can do the same. Life's happiness doesn't come from those moments (that usually occur for an hour or sometimes 24 hours) where everything is perfect in your eyes. It comes when you can look at the normal imperfections that this world will throw at you (usually the bulk of your life) in the eye, and learn to make the best of that situation. "It's all about your perception...There's Hope!"
