How was your student life?

I don't know if that is only me or it's the time that changes. But as a student I feel like everything is so hard. I am studying abroad. Student life is something really exciting because you are working on future, aspiration but sometimes you are facing some really bad obstacles, life become more difficult and you think that it's endless. The struggle of a student life is really serious.

I worked and went to school. I was on an academic and athletic scholarship. I lived in the dorm 2 years (required for scholarship athletes) . Through AP and testing, I started school 3 hours shy of being a junior.

If your finances aren't in order (student loans or parental funding or scholarships and grants) college is impossible. Its a tough time and I didn't do much more than work, study, work out, play softball and eat. Really I had no time for socializing or spending outside of my rigid budget I set up for my self.

@mellie Wow. Before I met my husband he spent 18 mo in France learning to be a chef. Afterwards he accepted his fate and became a petroleum engineer
/ geologist like all the men in his family before him. But he knows the language and I must say his cooking is to die for.
