Hello all,
I’ve come to a new emotional low. I’m hurt, angry, frustrated, depressed, etc. and I can’t remember the last time I’ve felt this bad. Let me explain–I’m a college student studying music at a small private university, which I transferred to. I’m now in my 6th year of undergrad.
Over the course of my studies, I came to meet the most wonderful lady I’ve ever known–she was perfect for me in every way, or so I thought. Upon getting to know her, I had come to think–foolishly, perhaps–that maybe God had brought me to this new school so that I could meet her and eventually marry her. And as a result of this, I began to put up with a lot of mistreatment from my major department in hopes that it would be “worth the pain” in order to be with this girl. But it is not so. She’s with someone else.
And now, I can clearly see how badly this school treats me, and how I really don’t belong here. I can’t concentrate, I can’t study, I can’t go to class without being absolutely angry at the whole system. I have no close friends there. And what’s more, my home life isn’t exactly peachy keen either. I’m very tempted right now to take the rest of the year off as a breather, get a job and an apartment, and spend some time getting my life back in gear.
So I guess my big question is–does this sound like a reasonable thing to do? Or, is it just my broken heart talking? Thanks so much. Peace,
Chris
