Lap Band Students!!

[Allison 2]

Hey everyone! My first appointment with a surgeon is this coming Wednesday!!! I am really excited and am really hoping this all works out for me, I am a full time college student who commutes to Bridgewater State College in Massachusetts, and I work as a waitress at a country club a couple nights a week.

I was just wondering if there are any other current college students on here? I'm not the greatest student ever, and sometimes it can be really easy for me to get distracted with school and work and life and such... I guess I've just been stressed out lately, I'm so excited about all of this but I'm afraid I'm just taking on more than I can handle, just wanted to see if anyone else out there is going through some of the same things... In fact, I should be doing my homework right now... hehe

Thanks!!

Allison

I was banded almost 2 years ago, while in college.

[OH Juli 15]

I'm in school full time and work full time. But I'm a non traditional student, being 40 and all.

It's about setting priorities, Allison. If you want this bad enough to get cut open and poked around inside you'll find ways to make it work.

Good Luck! I'd check out the 20-somethings pages for people with similar life situations as yours too.

Im actually sitting here frantically typing assignments because they are due today and I procrastinated lol!

[Daisalana 33]

I think LBT takes more time from my work than my classes. I procrastinate my classes for any reason...

Mwhaha..

That being said, I still get everything done in time.. the band didn't do anything to my work habits...well except give me more energy to run around.

Part-time graduate student. I'm done after summer, minus the comps.

Hahaha yeah I agree I do procrastinate doing school work for pretty much any reason. I don't think anything can interfer with my job though, its pretty mindless enough lol.

And all you older students, I have tons of respect for the classmates I have that can balance having "real" lives, full time jobs, families, etc, and school. I live with my parents and only work part time and school still drives me crazy...

This reminds me of my lazy sister hah hah. She is 18, in college, and not working at all. She is taking ONE class. When Spring Break came, my parents wanted her to work for those 2 weeks. She said "I need the break".

I just wanted to smack her.. I work full time, full time classes and my college doesn't have spring break (what the hell is that about!!!). :wink:

I think it's important NOT to be in school full time and work full time when you start. You really have to learn to adjust to college work. Do one part-time and one full time.. do only one full time if your parents can foot the bill. Then it gets easier. Now, I hate the time college takes but it's all mind-numbing same ol' crap. Lots of reading, quiz.. lots more reading, quiz...

Yeah I know what you mean, college is pretty boring right now, I'm still in a lot of my gen eds and its all crap I learned in highschool. I take five classes and I work nights which can sometimes interfer with homework time but its not too bad. I'm still taking classes this summer beacuse I really want to graduate in four years and I had to take a couple remedial math classes (not my strong point)

And haha, my sister sounds a lot like your sister actually, she goes to highschool, doesn't work, and just does cheerleading. My parents pay for EVERYTHING and now they are sending her to Europe for her spring break on some class trip, don't you love little sisters?

Oh yeah, and no spring break?!?! That sucks! I just had mine and it was over way too fast.

Man, Im on my 3rd year of college...Im glad Im actually getting to do what I want and not what I have to in college. I should be further than I am, but I screwed off a WHOLE year and Im having to really pay now...I had to go back to community college to get an associates in applied arts degree before I go back to university.
