The hassles of college: Those eight o ' clock classes, no money, a little homesickness Leaving home, a little homesick. Tired of eight o ' clock classes after only three months of college. I feel all of this after graduating from a small hometown high school and then attending Fairmont State College. Last year, while working for a big union, I had plenty of money to do anything I wanted. I could buy a car, stereo, tools — anything I wanted to spend money on. But this year it is different, much different. I wonder where my next buck is coming from. Where is the money that is going to pay for my shabby apartment ' s rent? Sometimes I wake up at 7 a.m., usually later. But it doesn ' t even compare to last year ' s awakening at 5:30 a.m. or even earlier each day. So much different this college life is. I go home on some weekends, to see the family, family dog. Sometimes I ' m homesick for my family, but not usually, for when I do go home it ' s such a hassle. Maybe after four years I will have learned something. I sure hope so. Maybe I ' ll be elected student body president, maybe not. Who cares? Maybe I ' ll even be a big football star, but I doubt it. But one thing I ' ll know when I ' m a senior, I ' ll still be tired of 8 o ' clock classes. TOP: Todd Jones entertains at Freshman Counselor dinner at the Hardways.
