I wish I had the courage to try to find a way to make knitting profitable so I wouldn't have to work so hard to get through college. It's not easy to balance a relationship, full time classes, and a job that has me working anywhere from 12 to 35 hours in a week. I only earn a few hundred and I know to some it's a lot of money or just enough to pay bills, but the stress is so horrid that I have trouble sleeping, staying awake in class, studying, and even just relaxing and having fun with the BF. I am going to have to find away to de-stress with all this on my plate. Maybe I should start really doing my photography thing for fun again. I use to wander the neighborhood and take pictures of the sky and scenery, I think I need to start doing that again...

It gets better.
This is a post for all the teens out there.
You've been called names, teased, made fun of. You've been made to feel that you are some how less because you aren't exactly like everyone else. You've been made to feel like you are less because you don't wear what is in style or you don't believe in showing cleavage or all of your legs. You've been made fun of for not being skinny, for being too skinny, for wearing glasses, for not having straight teeth or straight hair. You get teased for liking video games, or liking books too much, for being too smart and willing to participate.
You've been teased for being gay or appearing to be so. You've been teased for begin poorer then others or for not being someone that everyone else claims to be
Instead of hiding who you are, be proud of it! You are perfect as you are! I am a chubby chick with messed up teeth and brain. I have an addiction to books, horror flicks, magic the gathering, D&D, L5R, and anything else that could be considered nerdy and I am proud!

I knit, game, and watch tons of movies while I study. While in class, I speak my mind, take lots of notes, and will prove anyone wrong if I KNOW I am right!
Hold your head high! Don't be ashamed of who you are! If you are different, EMBRACE IT!!!
It does get better, even if you never have tons of friends and don't always get the hot fun dates, being who you are and having a few close friends is more important then sacrificing your happiness.

Thoughts
I have been called a lot of things in my life. Mostly it's people calling me a "Know-it-all". I get it, I really do, people don't appreciate it when someone is smarter then them or comes across as such. The program I am enrolled in for university has shocked me. Most of the people in my classes seem to have no desire to participate in class. Half of them choose not to even answer the questions that the professor poses, the other half either don't give the right answer or don't offer a complete one. I spend half the class bored out of my skull because these people are either very far behind or can't even pay attention long enough to finish the class with out the teacher having to go over things we were taught years ago while working on our AA degrees!
I don't mean to sound like I am stuck up, but it drives me batty that I seem to be the most intelligent person in the class room out side of the professor. Even in classes where I don't read the book all the time, I seem to be miles ahead of the rest of the class. Maybe it's because I am the only one willing to talk in class most of the time. Maybe it's because I have no fear of sharing my knowledge and letting people know what I know. I don't think knowledge should be kept to ones self. I think that people should freely share what they know and not be afraid of sharing what they know with all those around them.
When people bully others because they fell inferior or they think its "uncool" to be smart or come across as such, I find it to be incredibly unintelligent and childish.
