Heck, I already know I am going to flunk this semester because of the classes on my plate and I am demotivated (is that even a word? lol) at this point.
What do you guys think? I mean, college will ALWAYS be there (but the cost won't...crap). Plus cyclists careers are short lived but they lived the dream, know what I'm sayin?
Anyway, sorry for the rant. I'm just frustrated and clueless at this point in my life.
Thanks
And I know I will get some witty remarks
School can be tough, but you can do it. Think of it like high school, you had to do it. First get motivated, second get a loan(parent plus). If you decide that college is not for you, then by all means look into some sort of trade school.
If you love cycling, look into a trade where you can eventually land a job in a sports related industry.
Something I was told:
You can either work hard while you are young, and live comfortably(relaxed and financial) for many many years.
Or you can live comfortably now(relaxed sense), and work hard for a majority of your life.
