College and Stupid People.

I don't normally vent, but good God almighty. I start college in 2 weeks, and I got my acceptance letter in April. Alright, cool. COLLEGE IS A PAIN IN THE ASS. I know now why some people just give up after high school and decide a diploma is enough. I haven't even started classes yet and I am so fed up with getting things ready and getting classes and money and everything else set up so I can start school, and it's been crazy since APRIL. I am so freaking glad classes start in 2 weeks, because I really don't know how much my nerves can take. Preparing for school has never been so time consuming and confusing. You ask a question and nobody knows what to tell you and you run across the planet to find the answer and you end up right where you started and find out either you were doing it right all along or you just ran around like a chicken with it's head cut off for no reason. Needless to say, I've never been so ready for school to start in my life. I'm just sick of thinking about it, I want it to be here so I can stop worrying and making sure things are perfect. |: On another subject. We went to the beach last week for a whole week. The whole family. So we had to find someone to care for our 5 dogs, 5 cats, and fish tank. We have tons of animals, I know this, I live with them. But they are well behaved, don't tear things apart, and are all house trained and do their business where they are supposed to when they are taken out and their boxes are kept clean. All we asked the neighbors to do was scoop kitty poop every other day or so, feed the animals, make sure they had water, and let the Pugs out. We were paying them $5 a visit, 4 visits a day, for a week. That's $140. That's a lot of money for such a simple thing. Yea well, apparently the neighbors have never taken care of anything in their lives. Josh, Caleb, Kelsey and I decided to drive home Friday night instead of Saturday morning like the rest of the family, and we got home around 3AM. Guess what we get home to. The house smelled like a sewer. There were piles of feces EVERYWHERE downstairs where the dogs hadn't been let out in God knows how long, we clean this up. We go upstairs. The cats' litter boxes are upstairs. We have a big one in the bathroom, and a smaller one in the bonus room and one in our closet for the little kitten. The bathroom looked like a mine field because the litter box was so full they stopped using it. The cats were completely out of water, thank GOD they had an automatic feeder or they wouldn't have been fed, Sophie's bag of kitten food hadn't been TOUCHED and her water looked like something out of a lake. The fish hadn't been fed, I know this because our very vibrantly colored ORANGE fish are now almost completely white. I don't even think they went upstairs all week. We went out back to check on the two big dogs, who were completely out of water. Both of them are long haired breeds, and it has been getting up to the triple digits in temperature outside the past week. We're lucky they're not dead. Walking back inside through the kitchen, I noticed the Pugs had no water, either, which all makes me wonder how often they were fed over the course of the week. After cleaning everything up and getting everyone watered and fed, we went to bed. The next morning, I hear the front door open, someone walk upstairs and say 'What the hell?' because Josh and I were in bed with the door open, and she didn't expect anyone to be home. She left immediately without even taking the dogs out or checking on anything. We got lucky and none of our animals are sick or even dead because of the neglect, especially our 4 month old KITTEN. I realize our animals are not the responsibility of anyone else, but the neighbors shouldn't have agreed to watch them and make sure they were fed and let out if they couldn't do it.

I know! I mean really. If I didn't actually WANT to go to college and make something of myself, I'd seriously consider just getting a job and being done with it. xD It's seriously the most stressful thing I have ever been through.

No lie! And every time I ask the anyone a question, they're like "oh ask so and so" so I'll go ask them and they'll have to go ask 50 other people before I ever get an answer! I'm just ready for classes to start lol

I am not going to college, if I do it will only be for a few years, then Im gonna do things with horses, like training them and what not. I never have liked school, at all. Mine and my friends philosophy is why be inside when you can be outside doing something?! (I still havent gotten where I apply that to the computer lol Im working on it! :P) Thats stupid about your animals! Im sorry they didnt do better.

wtf? I would have just about been living in your house to make sure the animals were alright, I would have been there hours, not just checking on them, Its pretty disgusting that they would take $140 for doing -nothing-

Poor babies

I hope you didn't pay them after they neglected your animals. It's good that they're alright!

Vi!!! College isn't fun at all. As soon as it started, I already started counting down the days on when it's going to end D; I hate college with a passion and it's causing my health to go downhill really fast. From going to multiple doctor appointments to even the emergency room in the hospital. To me, high school was extremely less stressful. And to top it off, going to a top notch university is extremely competitive. You'll be amazed that there's still so many immature people in college and the omg! the drama won't leave T.T

Mysterious- I actually want to go to college. I always have. I love learning and I loved school. I grew up in a house with only one parent, and she didn't have a college education because she was a stay at home mom when my dad was still around. So when he left, she had no job and nothing to fall back on. She's since gone to college and is a nurse, but it took my whole childhood for her to get in somewhere and make decent money, and we struggled my whole life. Now I've moved out and I'm living my own life, and I can't say that I'd wish the same struggle and constant battle to keep food on the table on my own kids. So I want a decent job with decent money and my own independence so that if Josh and I do not work, I won't have to start completely over like my mom did. Muck- Yea, they should have stayed here and made sure everything was okay. They live next door for Pete's sake, it's not like they had to go far to get here. Garfieldz Gal- We only paid them half and told them why. Josh's parents were infuriated, especially his mom. The three pugs are her babies. Lyc- I'm not so much saying college will be fun, but it has to be better than the confusion of getting everything ready to actually be there. xD I hated highschool though. I switched to a different district going into 9th grade, so I didn't know anyone, and I stayed in my little bubble until senior year. Barely made any friends. I only have one friend that I still talk to that I met freshman year. Out of a 3,300 person student body I made it out with one decent friend. I won't have to hang around college all day for hours at a time and converse with people. I'll go to class and come home. Sounds good to me. ;p

Howdy, Stranger!
