Concern: Everything. OK, OK, I'll give more detail.
Really, my biggest concern is college right now. I recently changed majors from Environmental Science & Policy to Computer Science (long story), and while I'm mostly loving it, there have been some problems. Calculus 3 has been beating me down this whole semester and is not letting up. Granted, the professor is arguably the worst I've ever had, and the book we have is easily the worst math textbook I've ever seen, and I'm barely passing the class even after generous curves. Considering I've maintained a 4.0 GPA since starting college almost three years ago, knowing that it is going to take a hit has been rather stressful, even if I know it will won't go down buy 0.1. It also sometimes makes me question if I changed to the right major. Considering it is a math class, I've been able to compare it very well to the more research and writing-based classes I took with my last major, in which I was exceptional. Even though I know I made the right choice and have no intention of going back or to something like Political Science, that doesn't get through to me at one in the morning while I'm trying to read a poorly written calculus book and figure out what the hell they are doing.
Then there's the upcoming summer and fall. I want to get an internship, but I am completely unsure if that will go through. I seem to have a good prospect, but every day feels like I'm being passed up for the position. I also want to take a class this fall, which is important enough that not taking it could set back my college plans for another semester at minimum, but it is a high competitive course to get into, and that competitiveness is based entirely around how well we do in a single class (which I'm taking this semester). Thankfully, the class has been among the easiest for me, so I'm not too worried, but I don't like knowing that there is that possibility I will get passed up, especially since I've already been delayed by a full year due to the major change.
And then there is all the people issues, but I'll save that essay. Needless to say, it compounds the stress a lot.
Still, even though I have some problems, I'm mostly able to handle it. Like I said, being up at one in the morning tends to remove all sense that I actually can handle things, but it isn't like I'm perpetually under stress to the point where I have no motivation to do anything. I've been in that situation before, and I'm far from being in it again.
