Workplace vs. School

It's been a while since I got to blog about anything. The summer job was taking most of my time and I'm getting prepared to go back to school and all.
I'm kinda excited to be going back to school, although I know I stand to face a lot of stress.
I'm the only black person in my class out of 75 people and any black female who didn't grow up in Canada will notice that it is pretty hard to be on the same thinking level as the white people you may meet in school.
Let's just say I don't have that many friends when I'm in school.

Relating to my topic, I was just thinking about how different school is from the workplace.
I have friends who are into the whole "I need to be of a specific kind of level and status among my peers",
"I am the guy or girl around campus" or "I don't feel like going to my first period, I just sleep in a little bit"
I'll have to admit that I'm just as guilty concerning the last statement.

In the workplace, no one really cares who you are or whom you were in school.
This is work and it is real life. You can't just say you are sleeping in cause you tend to lose out on the pay for the days you miss. You also have to learn how to kiss your boss's ass.
The only beneficial things are that you get to have "workplace experience" and get paid.

So although i do not really have as much friends in school, i'm broke most of the time,
Stressed all of the time, and go through the anxiety of exams.
I try to savor the moment, cos it doesn't get any better in the workplace
