Eek, I know. Of course, we all have our own challenges to face while in school, and some are tougher to deal with than others. I'm not going to say that I'm never overwhelmed by it all. Sometimes there just don't seem to be enough hours in a day to get everything done. I hated it when he said that, but it's so true.
Time is the great equalizer.
Some people get done what they need to, while other people don't. It's all in how you manage your time and how you deal with the everyday hassles, and occasionally the major ones, life throws your way. By setting realistic goals for yourself, you create your own expectations. You learn to accept the good and the bad, your successes and your failures. The unexpected happens, and when you're prepared, you're better able to overcome that adversity.
