A Chance to Start Afresh = Too Much Pressure

<p>I did it. I went from being a super nerdy highschool kid who stayed home every night except for academic based extracurricular afterschool activities. Every friday and saturday night I would just be at home on my computer, etc. </p>

<p>I went to college, and now I became “that guy” who went from nerdy to not. I spend all my time with other people, I joined a fraternity, I party 3 nights a week always, take no friday classes, take the minimum number of hours each semester, etc. I never really study or read textbooks or whatnot.</p>

<p>But, it works. I keep straight A’s in a highly ranked business school in a challenging program. All of my AP Credit from being so nerdy in HS (11 AP tests with 5’s, 46 hours of credit claimed, making me a junior after just one semester) saves me so much time in college. I rarely have a lot of homework or projects to do because I am only taking 4 classes a semester. I will still graduate with way over the required number of credits and hours, and I would double major if the school would let me. But I always do all my assignments, always, and I never procastinate.</p>

<p>It’s great. It’s perfect. But it only worked because I always wanted to be that guy, I just went to such a huge highschool in such a large suburb that I never got a chance to get involved with “that crowd”. In college (which is a huge state school, UT Austin, 50k students) I went right for that crowd immediately, and I got involved.</p>
