University of Stress

I was once told that life is only as stressful as an individual makes it. I've come to beg to differ with that little piece of knowledge. They have completely and blindly forgotten to include the OTHER individuals that influence life, which in turn can also lead to stress, and then it falls into your lap to see how well you manage that lovely slice of fun.

Due to my goal of getting out of debt, I put my classes off for two semesters. After signing up for classes for the upcoming semester I learn that I have to re-apply for admission.

Issue #1: Why re-apply when I already have a fall schedule???!!!! Anyone?

So I follow this fantastic rule of re-admission and await my response. Today I learn that I have been denied re-admission.

Issue #2: I am STILL signed up for classes with permission to sign up for more July 13th. But somehow I am not admitted.

With a mouth wide open I call my bright university and inquire how I am denied even though I am signed up for classes. In lamien's terms "What the fuck people?!" Thirty minutes later and two "can you hold please" moments, I learn that because I chose the major I WANT to get into and not the major I am IN, I was denied.

Issue # 3: Why in the name of all that is friggin mental did the application NOT at any point and time SPECIFY which major?????????????????????? YES, I'm a college student, NO I am not a mind-reader.

So now after a pleasant e-mail to admissions requesting a change due to error (on whose part I am still sourly unsure), I am nervously awaiting the Dean's decision on my acceptance.

Blood pressure officially sky-rocketing. Thank you University of Stress. Couldn't have reached this point without you.
