It's funny. They say with progression comes ease of life. However, this has not proved to be true. Straight A's? Check. But a 97 on a test tanks my average since it's currently at 100. Working out every day? Covered. But now that I've lost so much weight my clothes don't fit. Internships? Got them. But the work they're taking leaves me exhausted and unable to maintain the idea of finding a job right now because I haven't the time. Success is great. But don't ever let them tell you that there isn't a bad side. Even relatively. I just want an 85 to feel like a victory again, one day of working out to be enough to go out and get ice cream for, to be able to make money for myself. But god, why does swimming feel like drowning?
