This time last year

Tbh I was a bit miserable, but I had a lot of friends and a boyfriend whom I loved (though the relationship deteriorated rapidly over the next month of so).
I was studying Māori language & culture, and linguistics. I'd been planning to visit Boston to look for postgrad options for my nursing degree (this never happened). I lost a lot of weight, had horrible anxiety and my health was a mess. I spent a lot of money and time trying to find out what was wrong: ultrasounds, a CT scan, a gastroscopy and a colonoscopy. It was hell.

I'm much happier where I am now oh my gosh.

On October 6th, 2012. I was at YouthQuake 2012. I'm going again this year too :3 But for the change part... I dont know xD

(Cause I was always working and studying very hard, but had no results)

I seriously hate this feeling, something very similar happened to me last year

I went into my english exam with a confident 85 average, received a 33% on the exam

Sucked balls but I realized the fact I worked harder only meant my skills were sharpening

Health science (biology especially, and this is just high school LOL) sucks lol

@(you need an account to see links) wow that's a pretty huge change!
What ended up being the root of the problem?

That's why I dropped that sciences program. I now am studying to get into Psychology, and I really like it. I now have good marks after studying, so I guess it paid off.

Psychology's a popular field, eh? :o
Yeah haha, don't give up studying! I probably would have last year if I didn't have such a tight leash academics wise lol
Glad it all paid off in the end!

@(you need an account to see links) - it all came down to needing to drink more water than most people, combined with the fact I have a colon that would better fit a grown man and not a small young female... sorry if that's super tmi-y but yeah the gastro was like "you have an impressively large large intestine congrats yay"

but yeah now I use the pain as a gauge for my hydration so it all worked out pretty well

Ooooo I getcha, I just learned this in bio! The large intestine absorbs water for the body
Dang xD That sucks, lol, I forget to drink water throughout the day as it is
That's awesome how you're better now~

aaaah bio o3o

I find it really helpful to just carry a water bottle with me EVERYWHERE. Pretty much everyone could use a little more water in their life c:
Thank you ;; I'm much happier now~
