I've just started college to study medicine. I don't know if I did a terrible decision and I'm getting pretty intimidated. Everyone that I've mentioned to that I'm studying medicine has said that it's one of the hardest careers one can take, and that I would have to study for the rest of my life. Hell, even the teachers said it too. I'm a grade C student, and I barely passed both Physics and Mathematics when graduating high school. I'm terrible at studying, and I get constantly distracted, something that even affects my writing.

I want good prospects for the future, which is why I went with this career, but now I feel like I'm way in over my head. I'm still in the first semester, and I've yet to do any exams or tests, but this freaking feeling is tearing me apart. Like I don't belong here. This kid, freaking 17 (I'm 19), got A's all throughout the preparatory period, while I got C's to B's and didn't pass Physics. Just like a breeze to him.

I know if I leave the computer, that maybe I can go well in this, but it's easier said than done. Right now when I should be doing a statistics homework, I'm writing this, because I like doing this. I don't know if I'm going to make this.
