What is "The Struggle"?

   
     So, you may be wondering why I name my equestrian blog "The Struggle". I am a college student. I will be starting full time in the Summer after nearly three and a half years of part-time (and some breaks) classes. I still change my major on about a yearly base in the hopes of finding something to study that I am passionate for, but that will also help support my equestrian habits. I think I have finally settled on an Environmental Science major that way I can try my head at a few different things before finally choosing what I want to do. I don't feel bad though, being so indecisive. I am young and I don't want to be stuck paying thousands for something I will never use or stuck doing a job I loathe.

     While I am a full time student (or soon to be), I also work full time at a Veterinary Clinic as front desk, puppy snuggler, kitten cooer, and sometimes assistant when no one has free hands. If only cuddling puppies for the rest of your life and making great money while doing it was a career (and it didn't involve a degree). HA! Keep dreaming sweets. I work the later shift so I will be able to go to school in the mornings, and that way I can also ride my sweet pony. That leads me to reason #3 why this blog is appropriately named "The Struggle". There is one big thing that enjoys eating all my extra money.

     Bon’s Midnight Dancer is his name or Carl Wayne (CW mainly). You can read how he achieved that wonderful name on his page. I like to put his registered name out there so you can see that the poor guy was never blessed with a great name in his life (one of his past names being T-Bone). He is a registered AQHA gelding off a ranch in Montana. No great lineage there, just good ole' cow horse lines. You would think he would make an amazing cow horse, right? WRONG. He flunked. He was one of those horses that was going to war, and then decided he just wanted to dance (HAHA, COLBERT REFERENCE). He didn't want to Dance either though. He enjoys the jumping of colored sticks.

     So there you have it. I am a 21 (almost 22) year old college student who is only enough credits to be a sophomore, because she has no idea what she wants to do in life, and I work full time while supporting myself and a money grubbing QH. Oh, did I mention I also am looking for a second job while trying to maintain a social life and a wonderful supportive boyfriend? I know there are many that have done it before me, but I am sure they felt to same way... The Struggle is real my friends, very, very real.
