Stress Paragraph

Author's Note: This was the second paragraph I wrote for my current COM 105 class, which I got a 4/5 on it, which is an A- in the letter grade format. I'm mostly updating this to test how publishing Google Docs does to my Blogger account, since last time it didn't work so well with my last website. Expect the rest of my college papers for this quarter to be uploaded soon.

Stress Paragraph


I have a lot of stress in my life. I go to school full-time, work a full-time job, and am currently having a hard time just paying normal bills, which all contribute to the current level of stress I am feeling these days. When I decided to finally go back to school, the program I wanted to get into could only be taken as a full-time student until just recently. Because of this I elected to go ahead and be a full-time student and pursue my career change, which is just one part of several that can be the reason for the level of stress I am facing presently. Work also contributes to my stress because I am forced to work more hours than I did before, along with going to school. Plus, the type of jobs full-time students can choose from are limited in the amount of hours available and pay, which can cause more problems down the road and add on to the level of stress already associated with being a full-time student who wants to succeed more than normal. Since I decided to go back to school full-time and wanted to change my current career, I had to quit my last job, which paid more, and then take something that paid far less, and this is the number one reason for why I am having a hard time currently just paying normal bills and will also be the reason why I will have to find a second job in the immediate future to compensate. In conclusion, trying to change your career and going back to school to succeed in that is a very stressful road to take, and I do not recommend it to any one who is not at least one hundred percent dedicated.
