The last two weeks at Georgia Tech have been, in one word, intense. The amount of work, the assignments, the exams, the classes and life in general, keep weighing you down and push you that much closer to the ground. It is a hard university to survive in academically, but the professors, friends, atmosphere, and everything else Georgia Tech gives you enough support to make it through this prestigious college successfully.
In the last two weeks, I have had two exams, have had to submit two project proposals, raise funds for AIDS Walk Atlanta, complete at least two homework’s for classes (everyday), do two full lab reports (extremely long) and manage my life, all at the same time. This is not me complaining about the work load that I have taken on; this is me reflecting on all the work I somehow managed to complete on time! Georgia Tech challenges you along every step of the way. It will beat you down, but then give you enough opportunity to get back up on your feet. This college is truly a dream. The challenges that face us everyday seem to be mountains (and are almost always interesting); what is so great about this university is that it understands its students so well. After an immense workload, Tech gives us so many opportunities to relax, reflect, and enjoy. These opportunities include events like the Georgia Tech Night at the World of Coca-Cola, Georgia Tech Night at Six Flags, various concerts (like Third Eye Blind), and peaceful, enjoyable breaks, like fall break.
Fall Break is a 4 day weekend in which students can do whatever they want. I chose to relax and catch up on some sleep this fall break. I cannot describe how good it feels to sleep without being woken up in the morning by your noisy alarm clock for your 9am class of Chemistry 1310. Friday night was spent watching movies with friends, listening to the newest music, and just relaxing in my dorm room. I slept till 8pm on Saturday! I got 16 good (might I say, well earned) hours of sleep. Saturday was pretty much the same as Friday. I got to watch all the latest movies that I had missed in theatres! It was a lot of fun. Just sitting down in a chair, knowing that you are free for the whole day, and you can do whatever you want, is a superb feeling. However, come Tuesday, I will need to get my act together, as classes start on Wednesday! Another example of Georgia Tech’s understanding of its students- Homecoming is next weekend! Everything is perfectly planned. Thank you Georgia Tech.
